Never heard of it.. can you explain a little more about that style? a Link to a web page perhaps? thanks.

Hi, you also forgot to put "none" I guess there are people who thinks that Breaking isn't necesary for martial arts.

Go to https://www.amazon.com and check the " Tsunami " collection, i haven't bought any of them, but i have seen the titles and they cover All Karate Styles (shotokan, chito ryu, goju ryu, Okinawan shorin ryu, kempo, etc...) hope it helps.

Maybe because of the Fact Karate styles aren't too good on the UFC, its already proved.

I haven't trained or compete against it, but it looks a cool grappling system to learn from. Its just too tough to find a person who actually Knows that rare grappling style.

hmmm, Yes, i confess i did it. lol There was a time when my School had a Kickboxing program, i went there and since i had experience the instructor told me to help him because the class was too crowded, He had the older student, most of them females and like 30 +new girls lol So i used to practice all my kicks, show off my flexibility, Take off my shirt, And All that stuff. I still wonder why i didn't hooked any girl??

Its just my humble opinion that Brazilian Jiu jitsu, Krav Maga and Kali should be on a higher position in that Rank. At least, they ARE in MY Rank.

I'd say Stay the two remaining months you have on your contract and then move on to a new School, you say you had 2 hours a week, thats like 8 a month and 16 hours for two, Its not All that much, there are school in which you train like 10 hours a WEEK. Be patient, stay a little longer, Keep sufering for your mistake so you can learn the lesson right and then, Never make the same mistake of joining to a McDojo, you have no excuse now. lol Good Luck.

okay, I think my style is effective because its well rounded and its Progresive. The Instructor have experience in both Ring and Street Fights. So you get very good advices from him. Experience is always the best teacher.

Congratulations Good you finally started on Judo, you'll have fun. Get ready for new bruises and soreness, in Judo and Grappling arts you'll train your muscles in a totally diferent way, so don't be scared if you feel strange things on your body the first couple of clases. Kicking and punching someone isn't the same as grabbing and throw it.. Anyway, Just Have fun on it.

I've heard that feud is over, they STILL Compete again eachother, but not At that dangerous level anymore.

i read an interview with Hugo Duarte who's the cheif instructor of the Luta Livre School in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He says Luta Livre means something like Free Wrestling.. its the combination of Judo and Wrestling with NO GI. They were the first M.A. to compete toe-toe with BJJ when the challenges of the Brazilian Streets were at there peak. Many of those challenges ended on Hospital beds or in the Jail. With time, both styles learned to get along and leave there fued in peace.

Also, don't forget Avoid the risky situation in the first place.. Avoid is the key of self defense. Most of the problems we have can be avoided.

Hello, wellcome to the forums.. Take Wing chun if you like. but for striking I always advice people to look into the good ol Western Boxing, the art of hit without getting hit, what else do you need? lol that or Thai Boxing, the art of 8 limbs. Now for groung fighting, Look for BJJ mainly, or Submission Wrestling, Judo, Sambo, etc...Those arts have devasting submission holds and ground techniques.

Who Knows, maybe if he keeps practicing those Fancy kicks in contact sparring, someday he'll be able to actually use them on a real fight. lol

No very good actually, as my instructor isn't teaching anymore... well, not to a group, just privates.. I'm almost about to make him change his mind and open a class again, but he's healing from an injury and going through personal problems, it will take sometime to make him comeback. right now, im just trying to keep conditioning, cardio and weights.

"If your smiling during training your doing Aikido" Very True, my friend told me that everytime he finish an Aikido class you feel like hugging all your classmates. lol

Very interesting Story indeed... i remember read it somewhere else, but it was nice reading again.

Hi, I was reading a Taekwondo Times magazine.. an interview with Hapkido Grandmaster Ji Han Jae. Anyway, what called my attention was that he started Martial Arts At 15 years old in Yawara with Master Choi Yung Sol learn from him for 7 years, then went to train Meditation, Weapons and Taekyon for about a Year or something.. then at 23 He blend all he learned and started to officially use the name Hapkido. So At 23 and he was already a grandmaster of his own system of M.A. Open a School in Seoul, Korea and start teaching. Today if you are 23 and you say you are a Master of your own style, open a school and start teaching, everybody will laugh in your face Just wanted to share this...

what doesn't kill you, make you stronger.. Im glad to see you're taking Judo.. Not only will make you understand Aikido better but will give you other skills that aren't developed in Aikido. Another style you should look is Kendo/iaido, but i guess you are going it already. Also, you may consider Taking Karate again (since it seems you like Japanese styles better) For striking. Be well rounded..

They competitors look for that Hard hit to score points... and the back leg can generate more power than the front leg.

" Doing something Else than Aikido" excuse my mistake its just im really surprised. lol

Kensai doing else than Aikido??? Kensai CROSSTRAINING!!!! wow.. the signs are just right there... the End of the World is near..lol
