tommarker Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 How did you research techniques for self-defense and fighting? Did you go out with the stick and try to whack people and see if it worked? What makes your techniques more effective than the traditional ones, aside from you saying so? Not trying to be too vicious, but I'm just curious... And why do you need the approval of some organization to release your stuff? I'm no longer posting here. Adios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorinryu Sensei Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 How did you research techniques for self-defense and fighting?

Not trying to be too vicious, but I'm just curious... And why do you need the approval of some organization to release your stuff? I have to go along with Tom on this. Another thing is this. There are a vast number of different stick fighting arts (jo, bo, niton bo, etc) out there, Shorinryu for one, that are effective, non-flashy and very effective for the street. Have you considered possibly training in one of those instead of making it up as you go? I don't claim to be any expert, but I've been at this one system for a while now and the weapon techniques that are taught are EXCELLENT and practical in their applications and founded on real life experiences. Just my opinion, plus I have heard MANY stories about these organizations that will ":legitimize" a new system. Sure, pay them the $'s, and they'll give you a a certidicate taht says you're the founder. As I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong here) that the majority of legitimate martial arts systems laugh at these sort of practices.

Spookey Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Any one interested in a good stick fighting training system for self defense (includes takedowns, joint locks, chokes, restraints, and impact usage) should take the time to read up on and maybe watch a video or read a book by Sang H. Kim! His literature is available from Turtle Press. Just thought you might be interested! TAEKWON!

tommarker Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 How focused is it on locking restraints? I'm personally more likely to use the stick to whack someone. My idea of a takedown is to go for the knee. Chokes might be interesting though. I'm no longer posting here. Adios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
