Jamiethe hitmanHarris Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 I have been practising shotokan karate for a while now and want to back it up and fill in gaps that i feel are not fully covered. I quite like jeet kune do and am interested in dimmak and judo to learn holds take downs and pressure points. Does anyone have any relevant books as im in the middle of knowwhere far from instructors other than karate. JKD-Way of the intercepting fistKarate-Way of the empty hadShotgun-Way of kicking A$$
Shorin Ryuu Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 If you wish to learn pressure points, holds and takedowns, you might want to look into Traditional Okinawan karate. They have all of those. Not just as filling on the side, but as a main dish. Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/
isshinryu5toforever Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 patience young one. It takes a long time for you to begin learning pressure point applications, and it will take you even longer to be able to use them effectively. Just be patient, and things will come. You will learn to use these in Shotokan, it just takes a while He who knows others is wise.
