Rotten Head Fok Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Bill "Superfoot" Wallace ! You must be stable and balanced in your foot work, if you have to use your martial knowledge in combat, your intent should be to win. If you do strike, you must release great power! The martial arts are easy to learn, but difficult to correct.
GhostlySykanRyu Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 I have similar views... Lee's to me are entertaining because they were IRL as effective as hitting someone with a Buick. Norris' are effective because they are quick, effective, and the fact that he can move those long legs so quickly is effective. Even on Walker Texas Ranger you can see his Karate background intermixed with what he learned from Lee. Van Dammes' are good for show. Nothing else. Kareem Abdul Jabar too was an impressive kicker, at that height I suppose he didn't have a choice! To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well. We all have the same origin.
Little Dragon Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Kareem Abdul Jabar too was an impressive kicker, at that height I suppose he didn't have a choice!In Game of death he was pretty good to keep up at bruce's pace at that kind of height.His legs bent a lot but im sure when its fully extened its like bein hit by a 6 foot pole....but black..and has a foot..and a kneecap..ok ill shut up now ''I know what your thinking.........did I shoot you 3 times? or did I shoot you 472 times?''
manuelito Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 " I am goin to take this foot, and kick you on that side of your face..... and you know what?..... there isnt a damn thing you can do about it... WHAKKK" luckyboxer you could have not quoted it better. pain is weakness leaving the body.fear is the mind killer, i will face my fear and let it pass threw me. from the movie "dune"i know kung fu...show me. from the movie "the matrix"
Ottman Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 I really like Wesley Snipes' kicks, but it's hard not to say Bruce Lee. And I'm sick of hearing about Van Damme. He's a quack and shouldn't even be discussed. The original reels of his movies should be burned at the stake. Tae Kwon Do - 3rd Dan, InstructorBrazilian Ju Jitsu - Purple Belt, Level 1 Instructor
Little Dragon Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Wesley Snipes may lack flexibility like Van Damme,but his kicks looks like it can give you a short night-.- ''I know what your thinking.........did I shoot you 3 times? or did I shoot you 472 times?''
Jbone1 Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 This is most entertaining kicks right? Well better than all of them I seen in one movie. Jackie chans Drunken Master. It was the guy he fought at the end of the movie in that factory. Dude only used his legs and he flipped them around and flinched with them tattooing Jackie all over. Bruce's are great but this guy was crazy. "What's your style?""My style?""You can call it the art of fighting without fighting."
G Money Slick Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Wesley Snipes may lack flexibility like Van Damme,but his kicks looks like it can give you a short night-.- Van Damme lack flexibility? That's about all he has going for him as far as MA is concerned. Have you ever seen "Knock Off", that movie made me sick just watching it. Desert Heat was even worse. Van Damme is an egomaniac who has about as much Martial Arts knowledge as Jim Carrey. If your enemy refuses to be humbled......you must destroy him.
Ottman Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 I totally agree with you G, but I think Little Dragon was agree with us as well, saying that Snipes lacks the flexibility that Van Damme has (which I think is debatable.) And even most white belts can see that Van Damme has not one ounce of MA know how. I think Snipes has as much flexibility as anyone, but his strengths lie in short, powerful kicks, (when he does kick) and so that's what he uses. I mean the guy is a 5th or 6th degree BB (can't remember which) in whatever style of Karate he does, (Kempo??) and he's also a great Capoeirista. I'm sure he can stretch his kicks out if he wants/needs to. Tae Kwon Do - 3rd Dan, InstructorBrazilian Ju Jitsu - Purple Belt, Level 1 Instructor
Jbone1 Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Wesley a Capoeirista? I didn't know that. "What's your style?""My style?""You can call it the art of fighting without fighting."
