aefibird Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Both my arts are Japanese - Shotokan and Aikido. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!
ramymensa Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 I put Japanese, though if we were to be picky Shotokan has very strong roots in the Okinawa island. Still I consider it kinda japanese World Shotokan Karate
Ironberg Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Though I'm a very strong hybrid - I'll go with what has influenced me the most: Tae Kwon Do (Korean). Tae Kwon Do has turned me into a lean, mean kicking machine. "An enlightened man would offer a weary traveler a bed for the night, and invite him to share a civilized conversation over a bowl of... Cocoa Puffs."
YoungGrasshopper Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 i study everything i can get my hands on, i work with the military so i travel alot and get to experience many different styles....and i take what i like and toss what i dont, i cross train hard core. i started off with boxing, and moodukkwon taekwondo, then went to asahi ryu karate, shotokan karate, kickboxing and 13 weapons system, then combat hapkido, then kuksool won, then kaju kenbo, ninpo budo taijutsu, moodukkwon tang so do, itf and wtf taekwon do, then some kyokushin karate....that about sums it about, i have done alot of training and practicing with individual trainers outside of a class for judo, juijutsu, wrestling, aikido, capoera, tiger and mantis kungfus and a little bit of this and that..... I envy you, so much.
Davison Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 i study Hakko denshin ryu Jujutsu,kodokan judo.ive also studied muso jikiden isshinryu iaijutsu,shorin ryu matsumora kenpo karate,kobudo,tai chi chaun and muay tai. Why punch someone when their on the ground when you can just kick them
Buddhas Belly Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 For me ... Matsubayashi Shorin-ryu as a base, with Kobayashi Shorin-ryu (blocking) and White Crane (katas) added.
angelica d Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Japanese/Okinawan - whatever you choose to class Shotokan as! "Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals . . . except the weasel."- Homer J Simpson
swooshfinn Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 I study Kuk Sool, but am thinking that if a job leads me to an area without Kuk Sool, I think I am leaning towards Japanese arts, most likely Aikido Kuk Sool Won Jae JahJah Ddi (Brown Belt)
