Your Art

[muaythaifreak]

I study Muay Thai and temper it with BJJ. I have found through experience that the two are quite difficult to beat when combined. However Muay Thai is my true passion and BJJ is more or less just an aside to compliment my stand up if I do end up on the ground. ( I do tend to avoid this at all costs.)

[wing chun kuen man]

I find Wing Chun kung fu an effective no nonsense firhting art. It is a complete martial art. It stresses close range fighting, but also has mid range and some long range techniques. There is also a grappling/and ground fighting side to this art. Pressure point fighting is studied later on.

 

I have been lucky enough to have found an authentic sifu who knows his kung fu and the philosophy that goes with it. Eventually when I master the art I hope that it will open the door for me to study other kung fu styles.

 

Wing Chun Kuen Man

[Mao Kuang Meng]

As A San Soo practicioner I find my style (IMHO) to be one of the most effective styles (especially because my only reason for taking it was for self-defense). I may only be a yellowbelt but I try my best to come in all week ( and train with Jimmy Woo's grandson) .

 

It comes effective for all types of fighters, the heavy-hitting sluggers, people who throw fast jabs and mix them up with some uppercuts and kicks, grapplers, and have used it on many occasions with boxers and karate practicioners who were looking to take their anger out on me (bad kids).

 

Though this is somewhat off the point, biased, and coming from a 13 year old. Thank you for you time!

I train in Kajukenbo. I love it because it is a combination of different arts. (Karate(Tang Soo Do), Judo, Jujitsu, Kenpo, and Chinese Boxing)

 

It was formed by 5 masters who trained secretly together and compared their styles to each other to bring out the strong points. It is a street oriented style. The nickname for Kajukenbo is the art of dirty street fighting. The other thing that I love Kajukenbo is they teach their students to be open to all styles!!!!!! and if they find techniques from other styles that work well, to add it to their system and because of this, Kajukenbo is continuously changing and improving!

 

I have also trained in Wado Ryu, Shotokan, Taekwondo, Brazilian Jujitsu, Kempo, and kickboxing.

[The Law Of The Fist]

My first art is Shaolin Kempo. I like how it fuses the linear attacks of karate and the circular movements of kung fu. Kempo uses what ever works best for the situation. Kempo also functions very well as a self-defense system. We do a good amount of grappling and real life scenario training. It has also made me a stronger puncher,kicker, and imporved my flexibility. My secondary art is Bujitsu. This style takes the basics of Jujitsu, Hapkido, Aiki, and Judo. I enjoy this class because its something completely different and fresh from Kempo. We learn all about controlling the opponents body movment and throwing. This class is also much more traditional and formal then Kempo. I enjoyed both styles and hope to try something new at college this fall.

[ShotokanKid]

Shotokan- I choose it because in my town, there are about 3 types... Shotokan, Tae kwon do and Kung fu. Since my family speaks Japanese and we have all at one time or another lived there, my parents put me into it. I enjoy it. I use a slightly offensive, with few but usually scoring technique.

[InsaneTigerCrane]

i studied classical chinese kung fu for five years ( southern tiger, northern crane, long fist, and a little dabbling in other styles mantis etc.) i also

was in an amatuer boxing league for some time until my coach died( i wont go into it). i am also in a renaissance martial arts organization were we have specialists from all over the country come in and teach various european styles of fencing and wrestling. it's a huge class, which is cool because you get to see a lot a different peoples moves. well i dont know what you would call my style if you were to give it a name, but the techniques are derived from the above. i like to utilize a lot more striking in my technique than i guess sansoouser does. we all stick with our strengths as a base, however i do practise ground fighting and the clinch.

oh why hey their.

im curious as to know if any one has cross trained w!th ving tsun and mauy thai . and what the benefits were. thanks

[greenbelt_girl15]

I'm a student of Cuong Nhu.I chose it because their are only two styles in my town, Cuong Nhu, and Philipino stick fighting.I love it and I don't think I would switch styles.(Mabe a bit of TKD would be nice )Because of the fact that Cuong Nhu combines 7 different martial arts, you learn an amazing variety of techniques both soft and hard style.

[PhDPeddler]

I also study from one of Jerry Love's teachers just in a different state. I study(have studied) Silat/ Wing Chun/ Kung-fu/ Tai Chi. I have not found anything better than Silat.
