coRinthian Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I usually mix and match styles, my base martial art is aikido (purple belter)- but I found it too defensive, so I also took up some arnis, t** kwon do and karate to incorporate offense and weapons. wanna take up some kung fu and some sword fighting style in the future Quote Link to comment

HighVoltageLover Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 not sure about that Bo, but maybe given proper training, they'd stand a chance. I didn't go beyond white in Taekwondo..got hit in the face too many f#&king times to want to do it again. baka mabaril ko yung sparring partner ko e but I'm considering taking up something new. Was good in College P.E. arnis, but have yet to really see my potential on that. What's advisable for a girl? Those who are interested in arnis, contrary to popular belief that Arnisadors/Escrimadors are not helpless without their weapons, unlike other artswhich teach empty hands first then weapons, The Filipino Martial Arts train the other way around, weapons first then empty hands. FMA is one of few arts thatyou can still practice and apply even if you are very old, take for instance thelate Grandmaster Antonio "Tatang" Illustrisimo who still practiced Escrima well intohis 90's . I've personally witnessed him spar with his students using live blades andstill have complete control of the Bolo he is using. Another example is our GuroGrandmaster Andrew Abrian, after suffering from his fifth stroke, he is still in active practice. He made complete wimps out of our entire group, one lucky fellow was one of my sparmates, after executing a well timed strike with hisbaston, it only took seconds before he was pinned on the ground and disarmed by Gm Abrian. This is a feat worth watching considering Gm Abrian's built and health condition ( he stands 5'2" and weighs abt 120 lbs.) while my sparring buddy stands 5'11" and is in the 200 lb bracket, he will be fighting in Fearless this December Quote Link to comment

maximusmeridius Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 hello guys, anyway for women, you have to develop the killer instinct first, its not so easy with girls than with boys. so far i don't see any of the 'su' or 'do' martial arts really making impact in the more practical world of mixed marrtial arts. but they have made hteir contirbutions but now they're a bit obsolete. anybody seen the urcc at the fort? wasn't it a total scam, a tournament where only grapplers could win because grapplers made the rules. the fight of the deftac and the boxer proved how little they were prepared for really seasoned fighters. and the finale was quite a joke. it was more a question of technique than it was about human skill. a pity. anybody getting into mixed martial arts? i suggest you train 60% muay thai and 40% grappling. gracie always said a fight would always go to the ground, it doesn't necessarily mean its gonna stay there.

Yaw yan was Philippine in origin back in 1972 while Muay Thai is from Thailand many years back, both utilizes all parts of the body as a weapon, both are effective and deadly. Quote Link to comment

homerx Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Guys, pansin ko lang sa mga UFC matches, parang mas nananalo lagi yung "pit fighters" or yung "freestyle streetfighters" kaysa sa mga martial arts, na t** kwon do etc etc. Kaya minsan napag-isip-isip ko na baka useless naman yung martial arts kasi kina-kaya kaya lang sila ng mga walang specific discipline, puro mga pulot lang na techniques.
