i would have to say the pyung ahn forms represent my style of chun kuk do and tang soo do the best! but if i had to choose one i would say pyung ahn sah dan

haha thats awesome!

hey everybody, i was just looking for some suggestions on MMA training techniques and that. im new to MMA but not martial arts, ive trained for 8 years in karate and hold a black belt, i am an amateur kickboxer, i hold a blue belt in jujutsu, and i wrestled in school, so im pretty well rounded. there is a new gym that just opened up where i live called Western New York MMA. i want to attend but want some training in before i go! i was wondering if i should do anything special before i attend or just keep with my current karate and kickboxing training and go ASAP?

im buddhist and i take martial arts and i fight for sport. but my main belief is in bushido

the muay thai i take has katas

i really like bassai dai, wang shu hyung, and chinto hyung and for weapons i like mahaba bastone inueza which is a philippino staff kata

i am first dan rank (black belt) in tang soo do, but our judges dont really care if u do a lesser rank kata as long as it isnt a white belt kata lol they judge on form, technique, power, and intensity if i do choose a kata of my rank it would be chinto, kong sang koon, or wang shu i like bassai but i see it so many times at tournaments so i think im leaning towards chinto or wang shu because i never see them at tournaments and i think it would be a cool change of pace for our judges

ram muay is technically considered a form but in muay thai it is a dance, the 2 katas i have learned are "griu guay" angry elephant, and "tha haan ngaao" soldiers spear. the reason many have not heard of muay thai forms is because they are pretty much only taught in thailand, if u go to a muay thai school here in america its pretty much no different then a regular kickboxing school my teacher was born and taught in thailand and is teaching me the ways he was taught hs name is pravat simalai

i know the guy was a lil bigger than u but sprauling is pretty much the best defense u can use against a take down. im 151lbs (not much fat) and my bro who trains in bjj is 235lbs (a lil more fat lol) and he has a hard time bringing me down

tang soo do: $65 a month (with unlimited use of gym and cardio equipment) judo/jujutsu $50 a month

1. combinations, combinations, combinations!!!! lol use punches to set up kicks and kicks to set up punches. whether u hit ur opponent for a point or not dont stop attacking until the judges say stop, keep moving in and moving out 2. DEFEND! and COUNTER! if ur opponent attacks u block and/or lunge out of the way and counter with a jab or reverse punch or roundhouse to an open area and get the point. 3. MOVEMENT!!! what ever u do, do not stand still move side to side, move in and attack then move out, if ur opponent comes after u never move backwards move to the side and counter. hope this helps and good luck

if ur looking for something without katas then boxing or kickboxing would definitely be a good choice, muay thai is good also but the muay thai i take has katas

katas are very important but are not needed, american boxing, kickboxing, and the form of jujutsu i take do not have katas but are all effective arts. also i wouldnt consider tae kwon do the best art, its very good but not the best, the reason for this is tae kwon do does not teach enough effective grappling or ground fighting (where 90% of fights end up) there really is no such thing as the best art.

1. make sure ur technique is proper, definitely do knuckle draggers technique. 2. in order to develop speed and power, i was taught in muay thai to kick non giving objects i.e. trees or poles, bags are nice but they dont develop that toughness u need to kick someone hard because peoples legs are hard and when u kick them its gonna hurt. forcefully kicking trees (i use a banana tree) not only develops the power and speed u need but builds a toughness in ur leg to withstand the punishment of kicking someone

to move in like that isnt really cheeky, he just noticed that his opponent was to relaxed and he capitalized on it. this is a great case of "ALWAYS BE ON YOUR GAURD" whether the bell just rings or ur 3 mins into the round u should always be moving and guarding

at my masters school i notice this alot with the younger combatants. 1. definitely tell your sensei, 2. ur son will get over his defeat and you just have to keep on encouraging his karate, the best thing u can do for someone who has a broken ego is encourage them in the better points 3. he is still young and has probably started his training recently, he just has to know that martial arts takes time, it took me 8 years to start noticing dramatic improvements in my fighting. i hope all works out well for u 2 and i hope ur son sticks with karate because he will see improvements soon it just takes time and practice

people only say kicking is cheap cause they themselves dont know how to kick, when i have to fight i normally only kick to the legs i mostly punch, knee and elbow

hello everyone, i have a tournament coming up and i am having a hard time deciding which kata to do, so i was wondering if anyone can help my decision. 1. its a traditional forms competition 2. i practice all throughly and extensively 1. Bassai dai 2. Chinto 3. Rohi 4. Wang shu 5. Kong sang koon thanks for your input

id probably incorporate a mixture of muay thai, tang soo do, jujutsu and aikido and i would call it blutige Hand karate it means bloody hand karate. the reason for this is because i have trained in all these arts and found them to be a good mix plus it seems like every time i do muay thai training my hands bleed bad (we punch metal with bare knuckles)

it should help, me and my bro take thai style kickboxing my brother was in the marines and we both can honestly say that its a better workout then the military also ive takin karate for about 6 years now and started muay thai only a few months ago and i can already see a dramatic increase in my endurance, strength, and speed. but thats muay thai style kickboxing i dont know how well american style trains

dont train to hard u dont want to burn urself out normally when i do tournaments i train months in advance (at least 6) id say if u are going to train to devote a lot of ur training to cardio work (like running) this way ull have better endurance especially if u have to fight more than a few people. but make sure u stay sharp on ur technique also make sure u rest cause rest is just as important if not more important than training

thanx for all ur opinions, i won the tourney in both katas and sparring

in jujutsu i normally dont take it easy on girls, i follow the rules and fight the same whether its guys or girls, in chun kuk do karate we are told to take it a little easier on girls (so i guess i have to)

other grappling styles include, JJJ (japanese style jujutsu) which does more takedowns, there is judo which does alot of takedowns, there is greco wrestling which is good with takedowns and all these styles have good submission techniques in them

greco is ok but the rules are to limiting. i take jjj our school dont do tourneys but u can always find outside grappling tournaments like i do. they cost a little and u might have to travel but i find they are worth it cause u get the experiance of fighting along with some kool traveling
