  1. You know he cried an called for cops when he thought the mafia was after him... An aikido is cool, but i seen it fail when they defend against non rushing non-restistant oponents who actually know how to fight

    Cross training

    Well you can join the bandwagon an take american kickboxing.. the transition would be easier an you dont have to study till black belt in most schools, you just go in an train with a private instructor or take group classes... an some judo would add some more punch to the mix.. or is that throws to the mix? Well.. then take judo till black belt... an if your still bored... take some kali for its modern weapons training.
  3. Theres two worlds in combat. Standing up, an the ground. Back in the early UFC days, no one bothered with ground grappling, it was seen as in-effective for self defense, cause most styles purpose was to defend themselves outside against enemies an possibly multiple enemies at one time, like japanese jujitsu was trained by the samuraii in combat, they wouldnt roll around the ground in a battle field when their oponents come chargeing with weapons drawn, especially when another enemy can come charging to join an gang up on you. The world of the ground is a very vunerable place, the moves are restrictive an the actual performance of ground grappling heavily favors a suitable envorinment that is relatively safe from interference from other enemies or even objects such as glass shards an conrete flooring. Walk around my area an i can show you why you should avoid the groudn as best as possible, broken bottles urine an crack needles is something you wont want to be rolling on. So many shunned grappling until ufc. An brazlian jujitsu dominated, they had the clean matted floors facing strikers who had no idea what grappling was... most strikers went down to the ground willingly or stupidly cause they had no idea they were playing ino the bjj game. I will never see UFC as a basis to compare effectiveness in style, i know the difference between sports an actual protection of human life. Protect from the ground game, you need to be well taught in both worlds. But when it comes to the street, there are no rules an no padded floors.. an the ground should be the last thing on your mind. An by the way.. when you see BJJ hold self defense courses... they look like basic judo or JJJ ( small joint manipulations an vital strikes )... even they realised how effect these older arts were when it came down to real fighting.
  4. First i trained in Vee arnis jujitsu... it was free for a limited time till they moved out... they were literally right next door!!!! They moved an i followed... they moved into a dojo that had other MA styles sharing space...but i dropped them an instead went with another style they had there... Shotokan karate, i always wanted orginally a tradional karate style, but this style was mixed with kickboxing. It had a good low price an the sensei was a cool dude an former kickboxing amateur champion. Anyways my shoulder popped out in a full conatct match an i never returned to the dojo, they ultimately closed down ( i ended at green belt which is intermediate two belts from black). I then trained in Ninjitsu/akijujitsu... these classes were free as part of an outreach program for kids in high school. Buuuuut i quit after i mistakenly broke my cousins leg doing a simple leg sweep, i felt really bad an i felt even worse cause he went an bought a new black gi an never used it past that day he bought it. So i just dissapeared. ( reached yellow belt ) Then i made my return after an 8 year dissapearance... this time i wanted to choose the right style an since i live in new york i have many choices... BJJ is way too expensive an those that fit my budget are way too far... judo, my second choice was also to expensive an/or far... So i settled for a new school that opened up a few blocks from here... Wing chun Kung fu. I got bored super fast an i wondered if these people even think they are ready to defend themselves in the streets with the training they recieve.. i paid 3 months in advanced an only stood for 3 weeks... Now im going to join shorinji Kempo.. 10 minute train ride.. an it fits lovely into my budget.. an its nice that the styles organisation believes in teaching an not making profit.. they are not-profit an all money goes to rent an gear. Im sure i wil like the school an its legit backed by a profesional world wide group an the sensei is well known. I plan to join tomorrow! All this was from 17 years old to 26 years old.
  5. I was in vee arnis jujitsu class an i was sparring their best at the time, he was green i was white. He nailed me in the nuts an doubled over in pain, everybody was saying i was acting cause i was scared to fight, even tho i was destroying this dude straight up, but real reason was cause i was embrassed an there was this hot chick in the class that was laughing an staring at me... who of course turned out to be the green belts sister.
  6. Become a tournament champion an write a book an save money an make a bussiness centered on MA. Be the frst to build a full contact strap on gear for realistic fighting w/e
