Hmm........ very true Submission. I was just thinking about Completeness. A system can be complete, yet people will always have a preference, for example some will prefer to strike, some grapple. The essence of completeness to to be equally good at everything, but people WILL ALWAYS have a preference. A system can only be as complete as the people that do it, so can completeness ever be achived? Take Care.

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY TOBAIS REECE, HE IS THE WISEST OF US ALL. HIS MIGHTY TROLL BOOTS HAVE STRUCK GOLD! Grand Master of all styles, Eye of the Tiger. In answer to your PM, San Shou consists of what the oringal Kung Fu consists of that you are being taught. For example, if you do Shaolin, the San Shou will be of Crane, Tiger, Dragon, Snake and Monkey movements. If its Lau Gar San Shou, then it will be Lau Gar techniques, or Choi Li Fut San Shou will be Choi Li Fut Lung Fu movements. Take Care.

Who the devil is YODA and why did he turn to the DARK side? (other than little green man in star wars) take Care

Tiger, you worry me. Take Care.

Congrats on your orange belt mikey. When did you get that? Take Care

Is there anything other than Martial Arts...............? I read alot of Japanese Philosphy, but thats sort of MA related. Going out with mates and enjoying life in general really. Take Care.

Young Master Tobias, I have just purchased Okinawan Goju Ryu by Toguchi, great system, never really seen it before. Is it anything like Matayoshi Kobudo? Take Care.

Who's ThaiBoxerKen? Take Care.

I missed KF........... The thing is mcdojo is full of really fighty people, that actually fight eachother, they meet up and FIGHT! Nasty! Its like a whole forum full of Thai_Kick's, well about 90% of them anyways. (No offence Thai_Kick, its just they are of a similar belief as yourself) Take Care,

I guess you mean San Shou? This is pretty much the same as MT, although MT boxers will claim MT is better. Basically they are the same, although ofcourse San Shou is more Kung Fu based. Take Care. Oh how is the Goju Ryu Karate?

I see what ya getting at. Give my best to Bill Luckly the Ki Aikido Federation is a law unto itself, with over 500 members. As we broke away from the main Aikido body due to political differences. Sad when that happens. Take Care.

Shootfighter, its always the practioner, but you answered my question, purely answering on the bases of the techniques of your system. Radok, Karate if you want to be the BEST..........PAH! Take Care.

I am glad that modesty is one of your attributes Tobias. What does it mean to be in a mixed martial arts associaton, what advantages does it give? Take Care.

Yea I did. Damn thing! Take Care.

I was only with the KUGB. I cant actually speak with any experience of the other associations, but from what I heard of some of the other Shotokan ones, KUGB seemed the best. No Offence Taken Take Care.

Welcome to Karate Forums. Look forward to talking to you. Take Care.

Ah yes my Shotokan days. I stoped about 7 months ago. I studied Shotokan for just over a year. Why I stopped? I dont think it was the right system for me. I really love the soft styles, but would not feel right doing a style that was not Japanese. So Aikido was the obvious choice. Also I just was not very good at it, this was proven when I sparred with my friends, that did other systems, I just could not use it. Take Care.

Mcdojo are ok, but they dont like the word "ki" very much. Dont worry KickChick I know where my loyalitys lie, I seem to have more common ground with the fine people on this room. Thai Kick, I do indeed train, but I always pop on here to talk to people like yourself. Also Thai Kick, you have been making a fair few posts yourself, I think we are growing on you. :D Take Care.

Sorry should not have started topic. Does not really prove anything. I just thought it would be nice to talk about the styles and not the people that do them. Take Care.

Well Happy Thanksgiving to all you Yanks! From your Imperalist Cousins. Take Care.

I have had withdrawal symtoms. I had to talk to someone about martial arts, so I went to Mcdojo! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! DONT LEAVE AGAIN! Take Care.

I stated right at the beginning, it was just light hearted. To be honest I have had enough of the deep style slagging that goes on. So I thought it would be nice to have a light hearted discussion. We ALL know that its down to the practioner. All I was asking for was light hearted opinions, as thats all we can give, opinions. Take Care.

Umm YES! Judo is very young in comparison with Kage Jujutsu which Kano studied, before he created Judo itself. Take Care.

This is only a light hearted discussion, Ironberg dont take personal offence. Take Care.

Kyle San said "As my Aki Ju-Jitsu sensei says: "We aren't in Japan, so why go by the Japanese names for the techniques?"" Because the system is japanese, the owe it to them to remember our roots. But that only IMHO ofcourse. take Care.
