describe your style


Recommended Posts

Shudokan, under training by Morris Mack. Morris Mack quite possibly has been my toughest sensei yet despite his incredible size and sparring ability. Under his style you focus on unorthodox movements and strike. Using a block such as soto-uke or uchi-uke as a strike instead. It almost felt like a dance in sparring since I remember ducking low with a block, then going in for a strike, pull out and away, repeat.

Hayashi-ha Shito-ryu. As I have only just started this martial art, I feel it is too soon to give a solid review. Although it seems a little too rigid and not very effective. Just my thoughts now. (Free class in college)

Faith without deeds, is worthless

I have practiced Isshin-ryu for 12 years, and judo for 6.

Isshin-ryu was founded in 1956 by Grandmaster Tatsuo Shimabuku and a synthesis of Shorin-ryu, Goju-ryu, and Kobudo. It emphasizes short natural stances, with basic striking, blocking, and kicking techniques. It will pick a good solid (vertical) reverse punch over anything fancy!

Judo was founded in 1882 by Prof. Jigoro Kano. Judoka follow the mantra

seiryoku zenyo - maximum efficient use of strength

and

Jita kyoei - mutual benefit and welfare

it is comprised of throwing techniques and grappling techniques. It's all about knowing when and where to put just the right amount force into a technique!

Hyoho Niten Ichi-Ryu: My preffered style, this takes a look at the science of martial arts. No nonsense, results based, and rather hardcore training regimen involving the use of the Shoto and Daito together.

Shinkendo: Practical use of the Nihonto Katana in a duel / small group format.

GFT: Grapples and strikes from where the fight is most likely to end up, on the ground.

Tae Kwon-Do: Your feet are the preffered weapon of engagement.

“In fighting and in everyday life you should be determined though calm. Meet the situation without tenseness yet not recklessly, your spirit settled yet unbiased. An elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. Do not let the enemy see your spirit.” - Miyamoto Musashi

These are the drills that I practice with my dad the most. He is an itf taekwondo black belt. I like pretending to kick the shin, and then do a roundhouse kick or do a side blade side kick near my partners face or head right after the fake shin kick. I like to parry a punch and use the part of the hand below the knuckles to pretend to strike the nose. I also like to block strong hook punches with my forearm then use the blocking hand to get my father into a clinch and pretend to break his nose with my elbow. I am pretty flexible for a newbie since I can do a crescent kick to the head.

Bujin Bugei Jutsu- Another great mixture of arts. Our goal is to have a complete combat system, covering all ranges from weapons, kicking, punching, clinch and trapping to grappling. Our instructor started out in Goju Ryu, picked up some JKD, some grappling and it's evolved over the years. It's really not a style in the fact that anyone who has high rank with us does not fight the same. We've all figured out what works best for us and adapted for bodytype and other considerations.

Along with masterpain i to practice Bujin Bugei Jutsu. BBJ is a principle based martial art. It gives your concepts to learn and understand and then allows you to apply them to your own body type and preffered ways of fighting. As MP said in the previous post not one BBJ blackbelt has the same style. We have Karate, wrestling, Muay Thai, TKD, Bjj, Boxing, Kickboxing and others represented by long standing members of our clan.
