fangshi Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Perhaps better to find a personal "style " more a group of techniques that fit your own abilities . The ones that really work for you . And then incorporate them into your personal application of the martial arts . Often techniques from different styles will be more productive for a certain person and if you find that for yourself than good for you. But to come out and announce to the world that you have founded a new innovative perfect style that is original to you , with its own phylosphies tactics and techniques . Well then you need to be sure that you are stating the truth . And for that my friend you will need to be doing research for many many many years. We are not so much individual beings as individual points of perception within one immense being.

CapitalKarate Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I don't really like anything but white rice... Joshua Brehm-When you're not practicing remember this; someone, somewhere, is practicing, and when you meet them, they will beat you.
Scand Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) I have my own thoughts of martial arts. Mostly I interpret them as abstract terms, and in my humble opinion it's all about interpretation. It's pretty much like "I know it when you don't ask me. I don't know it when you do ask me" sort of a thing. Mainly, martial art is a way the body moves. You can stand in front of your instructor and be taught various moves. You could start acting like a monkey, and copy his/her moves or you could find your own personal way of performing the same move as effectively and externally (nearly) identical to your teacher while still maintaining a piece of yourself in the move you perform, which in my understanding is highly recommendable. To establish your own style requires alot, if you're going to invent something non-similar to "martial arts" like Combat Ki. It requires time to put all the pieces together, and some day you might notice, that you have to start all over again. Rome wasn't built in a day. However, I most sincerely believe that one cannot "invent" a martial art by intention. One invents a new martial art when he/she begins to interpret his/her art as it is and perfects it by adding techniques to cover up holes and scars. But all this requires understanding, experience and even more understanding. Just my two cents. I might be terribly wrong, but this is my personal way of thinking about this matter.
