Are you a Thug or a Warrior?!
WudangDragon replied to Empty Flower's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
Warrior are the martial artists who fight not for themselves, but for others. when people try to fight them, they will turn the other cheek, but when others are fighting or opressing the weak, they will step in and put a stop to it, whatever the cnsequence for themselves. Some would say that this is what any decent person would do, if so, then every decent person is a warrior,a warriors of freedom and justice. -
I've got to admit that my knowledge of arts and styles outwith my own are not the best so any information about the new XMA phenoma would be well apreciated. thnx in advance IZUNA DRAGON

Defense against School Scuffles
WudangDragon replied to ShotokanKid's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
as for the defence to pushing question, i tend to go with a counter attack. if your right handed/footed, when the bully pushes you, grab his right hand, pull him and twist so he goes past you. he's now behind you and lightly to the left. his balance will be seriously comprimised as well. a quick punch or kick to the middle/chest area will knock him flying. spin fast as you go to face him, adding centrifugal force to your blow. exactly. violence occaisionally is the answer, but should ALWAYS be a last resort (not to sound anoying or "holier than thou", we all lose it sometimes). -
quite a good, legal idea (well, its legal over here, probably in il 2) is 2 get a foot long wooden pole. when ur wearin long sleeves, keep it up your sleeve, on the outside of your arm. use the outside of your now reinforced forearm as a weapon or use it to block. they might break their hand if your lucky, after all, they just punched a bit of a tree.

yeah, pretty much everything is a weapon to someone who knows kung-fu.some weapons are kung-fu only though, like a wudang sword, and i think that no other Martial Arts use the horse-tail whip (but im not sure).
-
deffinatly wooden weapons, EXCEPT when it comes to the sword. nothin beats a good katana or wudang sword. btw- fujita-san is ur name from the rurouni kenshin manga?
-
try https://www.blades-uk.com they deliver overseas i think. a lot of their stock is replica stuff (like narsil/anduril copies from LotR) but they have some really nice, original katana, tobuhiro and wakizashi.

another name for kendo is Kenjutso which litterally means sword art. this is just me, but i think kenjutso is when u learn with a real sword (usually katana or wakizashi type blades since its a japanese art) and in kendo u learn with a shinai (a wooden sword). my kendo/kenjutso is limited, but i learned the little i know with a shinai

best fight? dont think there is such a thing. most exhilarating fight, now thts a different matter. in my 3rd year @ high school, against 3 other 3rd years. i had never liked them and they had never like me, and as it was 3 on one i was the one that always got the verbal and physical abuse. that was fine, i just ignored it. by third year, thins were at a serious pressure level between the four of us. then my girlfriend got into an argument with one of them (they were all guys) and he slapped her. I was about 6 feet away when it happened, up about 5 steps. completly contrary to my usual style, i launched down the remaining stairs and kicked him in the back of the head. he was facing the stairs, so i did a sort of 180 degree spin to kick him. he decked it immediately. his pals ran over. the fastest one obviously arrived first and he tried to punch me with his right. i grabbed his fist with my right, spun along the inside of his arm, elbowed him the face and let him fall. i just kicked the third full force in the chest. he flew about 6feet because his speed was reversed when i hit him, right into a wall. deffinatly my favourite fight, but not something im particularly proud of.

i dont, but i know someone who does. white crane is the style devised by the guy who used to watch the crane in his garden each day isnt it? he watched the crane defend its self and prey on other animals, and then one day his house was attacked by robbers and he defeated them himself, by applying similar movements as the crane's to his slight knowledge of kung fu? (sorry, i know its not a real answer to your question, but i have a weird need for knowledge of kung fu styles lol)
