BJJ is 1

Muay Thai for sure

Very true

I also liked the Arona/Lister fight, however your average Joe will just look at it and see 2 guys wrestling but he would look at the Cotour/Lidell fight and will clearly understand what is happening

I personaly think that MMA fights are just more interesting than purely stand up fights like K-1 because of all the different aspects of the fight

I have heard that both Chuck Lidell and Randy Cotour want a piece of Wanderlei Silva, maybe Pride and UFC could do it so that the winner could unify the titles

At my school today there was a police captain training with us (which was awsome because I want to be a police officer) he is a Black Belt in JKD concepts and Kali an also a Blue Belt in BJJ and he told me that he thought the 2 put together were perfect for Police officers

Amd also K-1 now has MMA events also

What about Pride? There are alot of great kickboxers there like Wanderlei Silva, Morilo Shogun, Fedor, Igor Vovchankin, and Crocop

Just my favorites 1. Jeet Kune Do 2.Krav Maga 3.BJJ 4.Muay Thai 5.Kali 6.savat 7. Kickboxing 8.Boxing 9.Silat 10.Wing Chun

I think so, but as I said I have never been to the mass attack class, I just wrote what other students told me

17, been in Martial Arts of and on since I was 5

Hi, is the stick fighting Kali, or Escrima, or both?

You hit that one dead on.

Yea the more advanced students told me that you would spar against a guy who was say a BJJ guy so you would want to keep the fight on your feet then you go against a guy with a Knife and try to dis arm him the you go against multiple opponents at the sme time, pretty much different scenarios like that

Yes, I think Bruce Lee intended for everyone to add their own elements to JKD

Yes, my teacher will generaly show how our different styles can flow together We also have special MMA classes where we look at what we would do against like say a realy good wrestler or a Karate guy We have mass atack classes to but i couldent realy describe them because they are for realy advanced students. Off the subject Italian Guy but how long have you been studying JKD/Kali?

Yea our town is prety small so its great to see Martial Arts start to make a comeback here

Hi, I was wondering where in IN you live. I live in Jasonville, about a half hour south of Terre Haute, but I take Martial Arts in Terre Haute

OK I do not atend this church but a good friend (and former teacher) of mine who has practiced many different Martial Arts and has also fought in kick boxing and MMA events was aproched by a church in my town to start what they called a karate for kids program in an atempt to get kids more involved in church the program has grown alot and now many adults are taking it my friend is also giving private lessons to anybody who wants to take them

Also try watching the North American Grappling Association (NAGA) tournaments

Escrima also has joint locks and disarms its realy a very practical Martial Art

If you know what to do on the ground then try to take it to the ground if you dont you should still learn about the ground game so that you can survive if you are taken down

Jeet Kune Do Bruce Lee's commentaries on the martial way (My favorite) Tao of Jeet Kune Do The Gracie Way Striking Thoughts (pretty much Brce Lee's philosophy on everything) As everyone knows Bruce Lee was a great martial artist, but these books focus alot on his philosophy too, which I think is very interesting

I realy like BJJ but lets face it todays NHB is much different from the days when Royce would walk onto the octogon against like a Karate guy take him down, eaisly take his back down, and choke him, because nobody outside of Brazil knew about BJJ, But today nearly everybody has atleast some training on the ground So in the world of NHB today you cannot rely on one art you have to cross train

...you begin wondering how you would do in a fight against every new person you meet
