Mtal Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I was looking on the net for school in my area (NYC) and came across this one, Ki Chuan Do, also called attckproof and Ghostfist (http://www.attackproof.com/). First they say "Ki Chuan Do is a true link between Internal and External Martial Arts" which is interesting. The style comes from Native American fighting, Combat Tai Chi, and ancient European/American Close quarters combat. I might check it out, but I was wondering anyone have any experience with this system. I mean I NEVER EVER HEARD ABOUT IT, so that why I am a little curious. Thanks..

Shorin Ryuu Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) It's obviously something brand new. I do find it ironic that they criticize things such as Marine self defense training programs (which were recently being revamped, anyway) in one breath, and then say their techniques based on the likes of Fairbairn, Sykes and Applegate, whose oversimplistic and not necessarily biomechanical approach resulted in some of the rather simplistic and not necessarily effective training methods in the armed services for personal combat. I certainly do agree that much of the basic combat training in the armed services do need a lot of work, but they kind of contradict themselves here...They also have other comments and things that seem strange to me. Mostly, they have a bunch of statements that are partly or only somewhat true, and then fill in the rest with their particular "philosophy."I think the site is obviously generated as a marketing ploy. You're going to have to visit them to see if it is worth it. I wouldn't, but that's just my opinion off of seeing the site.

Meguro Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Sounds a little fantastic, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Haven't heard anything about it though. What kind of vibes are you getting off the instructors? Does your gut say McDojo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Never heard of it... Does sound worthy of looking into though... Is it something new?

aefibird Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 No harm in looking...at least if you go and visit the place you'll make a definate decision about the place and whether or not you want to train there. Let us know what it's like if you do go. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!
