GunFu Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Hi everyone, I am new here, ten years of MA training and a big fan of the sci-fi movie Equilibrium. We have invented a new martial sport based on one of the fight scenes in the movie which involves close quarters fighting with safe "guns". Note that this is just a game for fun and exefcise,it is not meant for real self defense. Anyway because this is all new we woudl like some feedback on our website and on the Gun Sau idea. The website is at http://www.gunkata.freeservers.com . Thanks! GunFu
Nick_UKWC Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Use this drill first to practice shifting your weight (which is where the power comes from) The power doesn't come from the gun? Few typos on the drills page btw. But yeah bit of fun why not huh "...or maybe you are carrying a large vicious dog in your pocket." -Scottnshelly
GunFu Posted December 14, 2004 Author Posted December 14, 2004 Good point about the power ... yeah, I meant that the power for sweeps, parries etc. comes more from a stance-shift more than just from the arm muscles. I know there are typos all over the place ... sigh ... I get carried away and I type way too fast. I'll fix 'em. Thanks for the props! GunFu
Nick_UKWC Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Is this Sau in Chinese btw? means hand/arm doesn't it? "...or maybe you are carrying a large vicious dog in your pocket." -Scottnshelly
GunFu Posted December 14, 2004 Author Posted December 14, 2004 Yeah, it's kind of a joke - "Gun Sau" as in chi sau, lop sau, pak sau etc. But the martial art in the movie was called "Gun Kata" so I figured why not go that way? The main difference is that in the movie they could basically dodge bullets, which was fun but (guess what) pretty unrealistic even as a game, so we are basing Gun Sau just of the last figth scene where they are doing close-range gunfighting. Have you seen the movie? It's very cool.
Nick_UKWC Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 (edited) Yeah seen it a few times. Like it for the bit with the dog in the boot*. Glad to see you're just having some fun, was worried this would turn out like the Chi fireballs guy on the other thread... *That's 'trunk' to people in the USofA Edited December 14, 2004 by Nick_UKWC "...or maybe you are carrying a large vicious dog in your pocket." -Scottnshelly
GunFu Posted December 14, 2004 Author Posted December 14, 2004 Oh yeah, we can do that too BTW we are now looking into using lazer-tag guns for Gun Sau training. So far we've been using water pistols etc. which actually work pretty well for what we're doing but there are obvious problems. The lazer-tag gear looks EXCELLENT - can't wait to try it out.
aefibird Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Glad to hear you're having fun with it! It sounds interesting. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!
MenteReligieuse Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 ...so basically...its paint ball with strikes?
Nick_UKWC Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Hey if that stuffed worked you could own in paintball lol "...or maybe you are carrying a large vicious dog in your pocket." -Scottnshelly
