MMouse Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Which would you guys choose if you had one choice for self defense training?
Treebranch Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Both. Kodokan Judo. "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
Venezolano Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Both are really good, try to practice both, so you know how to use your hands and a little of grappling Valencia - Venezuela.
hajime Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 Boxing. Because knocking someone out is effective! But I'd much rather learn to use all my body parts to fight. 700 hours of official training. Injury finished me dammit!1st Kyu Wado Ryu
TJS Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 Very Tough Call, boxers are tough but i would proabably say Judo
hajime Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 Very Tough Call, boxers are tough but i would proabably say Judo you just want to roll around on the floor admit it I'll admit I found it hard to concentrate sometimes when one of the attractive female karate students was kicking nicely 700 hours of official training. Injury finished me dammit!1st Kyu Wado Ryu
Hybrid Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 Very Tough Call, boxers are tough but i would proabably say Judo you just want to roll around on the floor admit it I'll admit I found it hard to concentrate sometimes when one of the attractive female karate students was kicking nicely Ahahahahahahaha. I just have to say, you crack me up. Hajime when he sees a female karate student: MMouse, I would go with boxing. “Iron is full of impurities that weaken it; through forging, it becomes steel and is transformed into a razor-sharp sword. Human beings develop in the same fashion.” ~Morihei Ueshiba
monkeygirl Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 Please give some comparative reasons as to why you would choose one over the other (e.g.: I would personally choose Judo because I'm small, and the style is practically designed for small people, utilizing leverage. Also, I love to kick, so boxing isn't a good fit for me.). 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
Guest Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 Alot depends on your build. I'm a boxer, but I'm also 6'1", 172 lbs. Having as much power as it develops as a heavyweight is excellent, but as a smaller person, it becomes mostly based on speed and footwork, and less on power. Like we say in boxing, "A haymaker from a lightweight feels like a jab from a heavyweight".
cross Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 i would pick probably boxing or judo depending on the teacher in the area . So to answer your question, find a good teacher.
