HighVoltageLover Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Interesting to know there are still traditionalists in our midst. Im taking up Jiujitsu and Yawyan. Plain. Simple. Efficient. Try me Is YawYan similar to Muay Thai? where do you usually practice? Quote Link to comment
alexis_raynald Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 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? Hello, why dont you try Aikido, it is more on defense than on offense.

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.

Medyo nga, pero in fairness sa ibang MA, iba kasi ang setting sa UFC eh, at sa traditional MA's, pansinin mo yung mga ibang UFC fighters, combination ng ibat ibang MA din ang discipline nila.Iba kasi rin at type of macthes sa traditional MA, more on stand up fighting sa UFC more on the ground sila.

joel Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 nice thred bo in the UFC format it is best to have backgrounds in as much disciplines as possible, ther are weaknesses in the different arts, but in learning different disciplines, you can offset these weaknesses with the knowledge of other techniques. it used to be that the brazilian ju jitsu dominated, then came the time when gracie ju jitsu seemed to become obsolete with the merger of the different schools, like with shamrock, mixing ground fighting with striking, now the combination seems good, if the fighter is agile. for me, Aikido is still the basis of how i used to fight, with the additions of different arts taught to me, one is the use of weapons; sticks, knife, chains and anything that is availablethen ther was kick boxing, though i wasn't proficient in it, damn that was hard! but i still conform to this rule disable the opponent to gain the upper hand and and try to keep the fight as short as possible, no need to dance around but i haven't had any practice Quote Link to comment
MODERATOR bonito99 Posted October 31, 2003 MODERATOR Share Posted October 31, 2003 I have a good friend who used to teach that "anyhow,anyway" style. Basti Carlos. He's in the US right now, though. @joel: thanks! Quote Link to comment
Django Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Yup, there is no "ultimate" technique, one must learn to mix and match different styles in order to come up with a winning combination. I took up a soft art (aikido), hard art (karate and t** kwon do), and some weapons training (arnis) in order to mix and match them to fit the situation. I plan to take up Tai-chi and a sword style in the near future to augment my knowledge and skills. Quote Link to comment
homerx Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 IMHO martial arts is a great way to stay fit, but it's waaay over-rated. Most of the time, a pepper spray is more effective than any martial art. Quote Link to comment
homerx Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 alexis, Watch ka ng martial arts competitions, pag may bumagsak hinto yung laro, then wait hanggang itayo sya before the match re-starts. IMHO, kaya sila talo sa UFC hindi hardcore yung laro nila. Tapos meron pa silang specific zones na dapat dun mo lang tatamaan. Meron pang padding sa head, minsan sa chest pa. In real life, you can't tell a thug to stand back until you get back on your feet. Sa palagay ko dun sila nagkamali. When you think about it, sa dami ng mga marunong mag martial arts sa Pinas, ilan na ba ang nakita mo na nagamit niya ito? Ako wala pa. Quote Link to comment
al_simmons Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 fortunately no one wants to mess with me. I haven't used my skill on anyone yet and hopefully i wouldnt need to. even my friends who are certifide black belts still have hesitations when we spar or play around. The aim of the martial arts is simply defense, and if possible that any confrontation be avoided, then better. Developing a certaing chi field around you that creates hesitation for opponents or threats help avoid these confrontations. Quote Link to comment
al_simmons Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 a sculptor endeavors to free the image from the stone, a martial artist trains to free himself of his limitations... Quote Link to comment
mig 22 Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Anyone knows who teaches capoiera here in manila preferably in south of the metro. Paki-include na rin kung saan may nag22ro ng combat aikido or combat judo, gusto ko na ring maging grappler tulad ni baki or ni jack hammer. Quote Link to comment
