You know, I asked the same thing to an Aikido sensei once. She answer something like this.."when you become water.you need to move like water in order to be an Aikido stylist, otherwise, you aren't doing Aikido. And that can't be measure by time, it depend on the individual"

Pedro Rizzo was the Top Student of Marco Ruas, im sure he did Luta Livre.

To make Boxing Street effective you may need to Train with a very very Dirty fighter, who teachs you how to use all the tools of boxing in real street fights. Someone with rind AND street fighting experiences who can teach you how to hit without your gloves so you don't break your hands and things like that.

Because they are strong, conditioned, and since very little martial artist and not the mention regular people, know how to defend against those takedowns, they easily take a person to the ground and punch them to dead.lol

Luta Livre is the brazilian for "freestyle Wrestling" but it's not the Olympic version... Its a Gi-less grappling method that combines judo,wrestling, jiu-jitsu, sambo, with some boxing,etc.. They have fighters competing in NHB matches mostly in Brazil.

Im sure you do. lol None of my girlfriends have ever seem to be interested in martial arts. I don't mind, martial arts is a very personal thing to me. Im not sure if i want to share it with my girlfriend. lol But i DO hope my sons get interest, at least One of my 20..lol

Wellcome to the forums, have a fun time.

It's not easy to defend against a good "jabber", it can be confusing and frustrating. I think the best shot an Aikido stylist have is to learn how to not been caught with jabs. Also, the Aikidoka needs to learn how to move. Not just to stay there waiting for a raw attack. if you get static against a good boxer trying to catch there blows, you'll be dead meat.

Krav Maga was Made for soldiers. Its much better for them than any traditional style.

i'm agree with G95champ in this one... For a begginer, the best is to find a great teacher. Maybe Kyokushin Karate will be good. Depends also what its available where you live.

I have a question Why the Hottest girls in M.A train in TKD/TSD.?

Why Not? Do you know how easy is to "buy" a belt this days? lol I can even believe that guy can have Black Belt. lol Any McDojo would love to have a celebrity on there lines. lol If that is the case, can he back up that Rank? Not of course. But im just wondering, maybe he DID trained when he was a Kid or a teenager and gave up.

Hello and wellcome to the forums. It's never too late my friend.

In general... Ju-jutsu is a great Art. Again, it also depends who is your instructor and if he teach it the right way.

Hi and wellcome to the boards.

Just don't let anyone to punch too hard your pretty face. lol!

It really comes down to the way you train.... Basically Karate in general have the same tools. All karate styles have reverse punch, front/side/roundhouse kicks, elbows, knees, etc.... It will depend if the school is lean towards point-style competition or realistic self defense. Im also agree that any style who train full contact sparring can be better prepared to handle real life situations. just my opinion.

I don't think anyone really spar 100% in training. Otherwise you would end in the hospital after every workout. I don't even think in competition you fight 100%. Maybe close to. Only in a self defense situation i can see someone giving it All.

Welcome to the forums.

Oh it's a great style for fighting, specially if you like full contact action. I'll give you a link in which you get more info about Kyokushin Karate https://www.kyokushinmail.com

R.I.P Farawell to Enoeda Sensei.

Hapkido is a korean Self defense system derived from the old Japanese style Daitoryu Aikijujutsu. The system curriculum have kicks, hand strikes,elbows, knees, join locks, throws, some ground grappling. At higher levels, weapons and weapons defense, accupunture, Ki development. Its a martial art for those who likes to work on several things. As far as for the Instructor been overweight. I'll say that first go and watch a couple of classes. The important thing is he been a great teacher.

Oh and i forgot to say. I think i'll be the only 100% civilian in the class. lol! Since the Focus of his Schools are going to be the Martial Arts and Combat training, and the Sport side is going to be focused for childrens and teenagers, my "classmates" are going to be Policemans, security guards, bodyguards, former soldiers, etc.. lol

Yes, I like to teach, I think you can learn even more when you teach. Take you to another level of understanding anything you teach. About the money. I'll have to sign a Contract in which i agree to attend the classes, i don't have to pay for this classes, just for the belt test that are going to be 3 (green,Brown,Black). Then after i reach the Instructor level. He'll open a School for me in a place we both agree. I'll be Not forced to move to wherever he wants to open the school, No. He'll try to open the School in a place confortable for both of us. Then I'll teach, I'll get paid a % That's yet to be discussed and the other % and the test fees are for him. After the Contract is over. I'll be free to stay with him or leave. He says, we want his organization to be Strong so he'll do anything so we all grow together. Now, Im not a friend of Contracts, but this one i think its, Fair. Besides, its not a McDojo type of contract. It's just a way to be sure the people won't leave after they get the training for free and he gives them the Black Belt. lol! He was also showing me a letter for the HeadQuaters Organization President in Okinawa in which they both agree the student exchange so we'll have the chance to go to Okinawa and train under the HeadMaster.
