Let's have a discussion on: Martial Arts

[FWAPout]

Tell me about your backgrounds and interests.

Whether you love the quick kicking speed of tae kwondo, the different variations of moves in karate and kung fu, the destructive raw power of muay thai to deadly throws of Judo and bone breaking and complicated ju jitsu.

I for one have a passion in fighting arts. Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, Muay thai and boxing have kept my attention for around 6 years now.

Although I have never been to a proper BJJ class i have been trained by my muay thai instructor.

When it comes to muay thai, i love the way the kicks deliver so much powers and their hands aren't so shabby either. You can turn around a whole fight with just one properly placed leg kick. Also my favourite thing to do is is the "thai clinch" when you have someone completely controlled with the thai clinch, you have so many moves you are itching to do to them whether it be simply kneeing the heck out of your opponent to pulling a crap load of combos.

Lastly boxing my latest passion. I would have to say one of the most complex stand up arts ever. It may look easy on t.v but you have to learn proper guards, footwork, form etc. Even before you can stand up with a proper practitioner and not get knocked out.

Enough about that tell me about yourself.

Lul, i don't understand Onrpg and the love of Muay thai. Is this because of that Fuxey guy?

[Bad Hamster]

I'm more of Teakwondo and the 5-style kungfu :3 I only did Teakwondo though xD My father found the 5-style kungfu to dangerous to do or something liek that. OR he was scared I could beat the shit out of him if I would do that " Wich is impossible in many ways xD

[Fuxey]

Well i would say muay thai... but i seen it been said already.

Let me explain a little about me and Muay thai, i bet ill make it sound like a relationsship

1) Muay thai does NOT have belts... know what that means? NO ****ING SPENDING MONEY ON SOME LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT CLOTHE.

2) Muay thai is simple. you aint gonna do kathas and shit like that, which you will never use in a real fight.

3) Muay thai is really easy to learn. it aint complicated and have relatavely small compendium compared to all that karate shit and shit like that.

4) Muah thai is the most winning Martial arts in most world class competetions. K-1 for example. Of course this does not say that muay thai is the best, but it does somehow give you an impression of what the awesomeoness of muay thai is.

been training for 2 years. a little break now... so muay thai all the way

[Xyphler]

Muay tha-...

Aww...

2) Muay thai is simple. you aint gonna do kathas and shit like that, which you will never use in a real fight.

It will not be of any use for you though against more than one opponent or in any situation that is not exactly corresponding to competition procedures.

The same even more so applies for Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, which is utterly useless in any form of self defense.

It also relies on a physical fitness that is only achievable in youth, which makes it to limited for me personally.

Totaly agree. though if you are good ( like in pro) at BJJ, you are pretty much untouchable on the street. Same goes for MMA and Wing Tsun.

I do believe that Krav Maga is the best against more than one opponent.

Muay Thai....

It's ignorant saying Muay Thai is easy to learn. Of course anyone can punch and kick which i think you are referring to. But there are so many other aspects like timing, properly guarding, preforming the attack with correct form and so on and so forth.

The muay thai arsenal has to be the most impressive of striking arts i must say.

Have you ever had an amatuer/pro muay thai match against an opponent who knew what he was doing? It's way different from simply showing off what you can do on a punching bag and circling a thai pad holder.

I use to practice TKD when I was really young until I beat up one of the bully during pre-school. My parents stop me from going TKD but I practice it by myself using guidebook. But through out my life, I have a bit of Judo, Wushu and Muay Thai experience.

I always want to try BJJ though.

[StragoX]

I hold two belts in Tae Kwon Do.

one in WTF 1 Dan-4 years
one in ITF 1 Dan- 7 years

Also i do Muay Thai, i spent 6 months in Phuket, Thailand training in a camp. Unlike USA's training facilities where the teachers were students with average skills at best, i learned from actual past Muay Thai champions. If anyone is interested it's actually very cheap and affordable, 6 months of training + a place to stay + food on the table =$4,000

I would just like to add that they treat you like an extension to their family.

6 years of tae kwan do
6 years of hopkido
5 years of aikido and still going

seems unbelievable since you can't even spell hapkido and i doubt the typo since the a and o are on opposite sides of the keyboard.
