Mixed Martial Arts

[mig 22]

may alam ba kayong muay thai gym in southern NCR?

[trebbie]

Sabi training with the tree yung tagalog word for weaving. Yung mga practice form.

I think you meant sinawali, right?

[trebbie]

real-life fights are completely different though.

I agree with you on this. Like I mentioned in a previous post, high and fancy kicks are out in a streetfight.

ay tama ka duon it came from the word sawali it means weaving

[Guest fhoryou]

reading the history is sometimes good and finding out about real fights.

 

 

have you read about the tondo revolution when the spaniards are trying to conquer the land.

 

The natives where there with this datu and his big sword. then with him is a samurai and some other revolutionist.

I saw this great site about weapons fighting!

 

Go to http://www.manilapitbulls.com/

 

Didn't know that there's a weapon fighting group here in Manila that trains in White Plains. Personally, I think that we Filipinos are better skilled than our Japanese counterparts in terms of the art of weaponry.

I agree! Try high kicking in a busy eskinita against 2 or 3 knife weilding assailants. Baka maputol lang hita mo hehe

[jackdaleaper]

experience is the best teacher pa rin pagdating sa labanan... kaso mahirap makakuha non puwera na lang kung basag-ulo ka

[Guest fhoryou]

Guys if you want real fight and use of skills meron pa rin naman dito sa pinas.

 

 

I heard they still do undeground fighting.

 

That was what the escrimadors used to do.

 

 

I muslim people from mindanao used to get fighters from visaya and have them fight to the death.

 

 

Its a stake of life and death.

 

 

Another one I heard there is still underground fighting pero hirap talaga makasali unless you know someone or ur well known in your field of skill.

 

Mostly this is test of skill until all your bones crack.

sa matrix reloaded, nag arnis doon si neo.

[DRAGONCLAW_39]

I agree with you on this. Like I mentioned in a previous post, high and fancy kicks are out in a streetfight.

kaya ang the best pag streetfight is JKD or Arnis/Kali.

[elke_weis]

jkd also has high kicks and nearly all of its hand techniques can be found in karate and some styles of kung fu.

2 years nako sa taekwando pero hanggang ngayon matigas pa rin katawan ko. d ko parin kayang mag split. any tips for flexibility?

[elke_weis]

you can't speed-up a full side split. it takes years.

 

my advise, avoid the 'bouncing-type' of stretching done in most martial arts schools. they're un-scientific and could lead to muscle/ligament damage. stretching should be slow and gradual (like the ones done by gymnasts and ballerinas).

[rainman72]

ako din pasali. laro ko aikido saka konting judo. kaya lang masakit na joints ko e. tanda ko na kasi, kaya paluan na lang pinag aaralan ko. kendo laro ko ngayon.

 

pero mas maganda nga kung matuto ako tumakbo ng mabilis.

sanayan lang yan, ako kasi dati nagstestretching hanggang bahay. nagpapractice ako magsplit bago matulog tsaka tapos maligo (bukod pa sa training session namin) hanggang sa nagawa ko. kaso ngayon di na ulit kaya, tagal na kasing alang praktis eh . tama rin si weis, masama talaga yung "bouncing", maiinjure ka lang pag ginawa mo yan

[NytCrawler]

elke wise and jackdaleaper tenk u sa advise. sparring tayo minsan.

ngek, tagal na ko di nagpapraktis eh. tsaka mukhang magaling ka eh, umabot ka black no?

[elke_weis]

my training was in karate. and that was ages ago. pang-romansa na lang ngayon 'tong katawan natin.

[mhakhulit]

Dati sa Karete ako enroll kaya lang mejo... untamable daw ako... kaya umalis ako sa dojo nila... lumipat ako sa Muai Thai para mas magamit ko ang siko at tuhod ko.. kaya lang... mayado ko daw siniseryoso ang game kaya nakakasakit ako... they kicked me outta that Org... sayang kung inagahan ko sana nagpakatino... malamang nkakuha man lang ako ng kahit na yellow belt...na rank.. :cry:

Why, were you trying to hurt people in the school?

 

In my experience, I've only hurt people in a dojo when I was:

 

A. New

B. Wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. It takes a lot of control and presence of mind to hold back and still execute your moves. Going all-out doesn't really require control.

just finished reading all pages in this thread and would like to add a few things:

 

krav maga- have trained under eyal yanilov, head of krav maga, and i can

say that it is effective, vicious and suitable for all body types. the

students were composed of beginners and experienced martial

artists, but eyal has a way of getting the information across

quickly and clearly which is the hallmark of an experienced

practicioner and good instructor. unfortunately he hasn't been

back here in awhile, but we hope to see him again soon.

 

capoeira- have been fortunate enough to train under mestre marcello

caveirinha of capoeira mandinga and mestre jogo de dentro of

capoeira angola. even though it was only for one (very painful) day,

i'm grateful for the knowledge and information about capoeira and

life that these two gentlemen were able to impart to a large and

varied class. axe!

 

fighting- bruce lee said that the best training for an event was to do the

event. i wanted to fight, but didn't know how to go about it without

legal troubles. then i read a couple of books by geoff thompson

about his experiences as a doorman (bouncer). i got a job as a

doorman and was able to try out a lot of what i've been training in

without refs, rules, rings or regulations and, no surprise,

90% of it didn't work. when you've got three large

drunks looking to kick your head in and the other doorman is busy

with three other drunks you learn to talk very fast or, as geoff

thompson puts it: "learn to hit f#&king hard". i highly recommend

his books, you can also check out his website.

 

bruce lee- trebbie is right, there is no proof that lee ever fought in the

philippines, or that he fought a filipino who defeated

him. lee did have several fights since he was always being

challenged by stuntmen or extras in his movies, but he never lost.

the most balanced account i've read of lee's life and mysterious

death is titled "unsettled matters, the life and death of bruce lee".

can't remember the author but it is probably the least biased

book about him. to pique your interest, did you know marijuana

was found in his system during the autopsy, and that his

tremendous physique was the result of....read the book.

this whole bruce lee versus unknown filipino story has

been around for years, unfortunately, like horoscopes, people

still believe it. admittedly it's not as stupid as believing that

bruce lee fought muhammad ali but i have come across somebody

who actually says this.

hmmmm... I've tried several grappling arts, pero ang pinakagusto ko ay freestyle wrestling. ayaw nung iba kc baka daw masakit sa katawan.. pero mas sumakit katawan ko sa judo and karate. At habang tumatagal lalo akong natatakot sa away.. weird no? Pero siguro na-realize ko lang na kahit anong mangyari may masasaktan sa aming dalawa ng kalaban ko (at nakakhiya kung ako! hehehehe). Now since busy sa work wla na masyado training... buti pa un iba sa inyo, nakakaingit! . Nakaka-miss kc mag-train. Keep cool mga tol. And remember you do not have to fight to be a man.... pero pag pag binastos gf ninyo... barilin ninyo agad! hehehehe... peace!

there's a pekiti-tirsia kali class at the white plains multi-purpose hall every tuesdays and thursdays 7:30 - 9:30PM if anyone's interested.

 

they teach combatives, sticks, knives, blade, empty-hands, and dumog (ground fighting) and basically eliminating your opponent in the fastest time possible.
