i know alot about jujutsu. jujutsu was invented about 2000 years ago as samurai's form of hand to hand combat. korean martial arts influence didnt enter japan until about 500 years ago. but most koreans when they went back to korea put japanese influence in their arts. ive never really seen much korean arts start japanese arts. so i really doubt that hwarang started jujutsu but it might have influenced some stuff into it later on

people let us remember, its not about muscle its how well u time ur hits and put all ur weight into ur attacks and thats what liddell does

dont look at it as winning and losing, if ur giving it ur best than be happy

welcome hope u find useful info

welcome i do jujutsu to

hello and welcome

what the TKD people said is kinda true, every time i went to punch them they would kick me in the head but in continous fighting like i do that one kick aint gonna do nothing to me, i just kept rushing them and stayed close and boxed them to death. but u shouldnt do open style tournaments if u dont know how to fight other styles

i gotta tell ya, i have just started muay thai training and if u want to learn a real good fighting system along with one of the best physical training in any martial art try checking into it. if thats not what u want a couple other really kool arts are judo and jujutsu (jujitsu) but sorry i dont know many chinese arts, cause they are not to popular where i live

i think it depends on the meditation u do. breathing meditations are good and all but they arent the best for fighting. i find mantra meditations are good for fight preparation and visual meditations are good to. and what do meditations do? they help u focus better and control ur thoughts. one of the most important things in a fight is to never think and meditation helps this. and for those who say meditations dont help well ur wrong cause i thought that to until i acctually tried it and after doing it 15 mins a day every day for 3 months i found out how much it acctually helps

well thats good then, cause some of these fighters that keep their hands down can get seriously hurt. if they enter into open style fights they should learn to keep their hands up

from all the TKD fighters ive seen fight and those i have fought i noticed that none of them keep their guard up they just fight with their hands down. why is that? i used to be a boxer and in the one match when i fought a TKD fighter i pracically took his head off. and where i take karate, no offense to anyone but everyone makes fun of them because of that. now im not saying they have no skill because the TKD fighters i fought were really a challenge, its just they never protect themselves

u are correct many TKD places incorporate ground work but its really insufficient. i have grappled many TKD fighters in a traditional BJJ match and ive beaten them all but i have had 6 years of jujutsu training.

hitting bags is fun and all but if ur learning to break something u definitely need to hit something hard. cause bones are solid, bags give alittle therefore absorbing impact. so hit solid objects like baseball bats or planks of wood. this will also help u build a tolerance to the pain of hitting hard, something bags do not do. or u can do what i do, this is a traditional muay thai technique, kick a tree. if u break a bone than oh well just live with it, pain is a part of life. and in 6 to 8 weeks get ur butt back out there and do it again, dont be afraid.

at our UFAF sactioned tang soo do tournaments it is broken down into these divisions: Beginner 1 (yellow and purple belt), beginner 2 (orange, 2nd gup blue, and 1st gup blue belt), intermediate (3rd gup green, 2nd gup green and 1st gup green-this is me) advanced (3rd gup red, 2nd gup red, 1st gup red belt) expert 1 (1st dan black to 4th dan black) expert 2 (5th dan black to 10th dan black) now in my division (intermediate) i am the best and current champ and hold an intermediate record of 11wins 1loss and 2 ties. so i entered to fight in the advanced division for a challenge. at the studio i have no problems, my advanced record is 9 wins 3 losses. and at the studio i even fought in the expert division twice and won both matches. but at the last tournament i got beat pretty bad in the advanced division. its not that i did bad cause i did pretty good and what i thought was to be the best i could do. so this tounament coming up i have entered again into the advanced division. i was just curious what ur opinions are and if u have any tips for me to prepare i would greatly appretiate it.

u definitely will not be a good black belt if u go there, the studio i go to it takes 8 to 10 years before u get ur black belt

i was lucky and found a studio that taught a good mix of martial arts, tang soo do (standing fighting) Judo (submission fighting) jujutsu (japanese grappling) and bojutsu (weapon combat, its a 6 foot stick) id say go to all the studios around u and talk to the senseis, tell them what u want and ask them if their studio is right for u. maybe we could help u more if u tell us exactly what u want? for example do u want to learn ground fighting? mixed martial arts? do u want full contact or held back fighting?

i got a tournament coming in a month and i was thinkin of doing bassai dai but at my last tournies i did Giecho Hyung Il Bu(1st place), Pyong An Cho Dan(2nd place), Pyong An Yi Dan(4th place) so hopefully bassai dai and this extra year of training will help me get back to first

i was out for 7 monthes due to a hip injury so it wasnt continous but there are 12 gup/kyu grades (white belt) and with my instructer we cant test until we have every thing pretty much perfect. and ill be testing for my fourth kyu soon

i thought that to cause on my old certificates it says gup but when i got my 5th kyu certificate it said kyu

UFAF United Fighting Arts Federation i love it, there are really organized

i love it, it is a very competitive form of martial arts and is really awesome. alot of my friends who take tae kwon do make fun of it because they think chuck norris (the founder) cant fight (if he cant why is he in the martial arts hall of fame) but anyways it teaches u a well rounded style of fighting and ground fighting which is really kool. and when i spar with those who know tae kwon do they cant handle me because they are not to good at ground fighting. so all in all i think chun kuk do is amazing

in martial arts u should never think of it as victory or defeat and alot of studios do not teach this but i think every martial artist should think this way. u should never think of victory or defeat no matter what, at a tournament or just sparring. just go into each fight and give it ur all. cause if u go into a fight giving 110% then if u win kool but if u lose who cares cause u know u gave it ur all and now u know that ull just have to train harder for the next time

Here are some i use often and have worked well Jab, Reverse punch, Front kick, Back kick Jab, Reverse punch, spinning back fist Front kick, Round house, spinning heel kick

I find that roundhouse kicks should be done with whatever feels comfortable to you. i use my instep 99% of the time and it dont bother me but i do kick solid objects with it to build strength and get used to the pain. but really its what feels comfortable to you

I havent received any serious injuries in chun kuk do kumite except for the bruised ribs and bruised shins and arms (i dont normally wear padding) but in Bojutsu (bo staff) kumite i have had few pretty big welts but nothing to serious
