a different type of post part2

[mai tai]

ussauly these go as to which style is better.

i want to ask of you styles that you take. what are the weak points and how would you defeat them.

i will start

the styes i have studied

tkd world style. rules do not allow puches to the head.... get real used to having hands low. to win throw a barage of head shots.

boxing.

side stance makes you especally vulnerable to leg kicks. also once taken down many boxers are at a lose as what to do(although this applies to many fighters not schooled in bjj, or catch wrestling)

wrestling. sprawl and brawl. also many wrestlers keep hands low and have a low crouch. suseptable to high kicks.(one of the only times im going to recomend this. besides if you mess it up you will end up on the ground which is probable where a good wrestler would have put you anyway)

muay tai

every effective style. so im streching to find a weakness.

put them on the ground (but most of the muay tai guys i know follow the ufc and other real venues so the are versed in ground training

and maybe becouse the kick repertwar is limited you might get lucky with a crazy spin kick that thay havent seen before.(beware this ussually only works once)

stay at a distance...since most muay tai kicks hit with the shin they have a shorter range than a karate or tkd kick

weaknessz of styles i studied ( thats my personal view )

my initial background is kyokushin so start with KK :

1 - no hand strikes to the head due to not wearing any type of gloves , but most of advanced KK fighters get used to facial hand contact verry fast

2 - high number of injuries ( again no protectives )

3 - limited grappling techniques ( clinching is only allowed for 3 seconds )

4 - limited ground work

Muay tai

1 - no ground work

2 - vulnurable to some kicks ( sometimes )

3 - limited grappling

Aikido

1- no competition

2- requires a lot of training

[Oopgrub]

Capoeira

- Few hand strikes

- Takes preperation to attack

ju jitsu

- Not much striking

- I feel it leaves you vulnerable a lot of times

Kenpo

- Some things arent very realistic

Boxing

- No kicking/grappling

- only four strikes

Preparation to attack?

[Oopgrub]

You need to be in a certain part of the ginga (dance) to throw certain attacks

[italian_guy]

These are the one I could see, maybe others are also present....

Goju ryu Karate:

1. Takes some time to be self-defence effective (not so much but... )

Tai chi chuan (Yang style)

1. Takes a LOT of time to be self defence effective.

2. No ground fighting.

JKD/kali

1. No ground fighting (maybe some at advanced level)

Kickboxing

1. No grappling at all.

[Sam]

TKD (WTF, ITF as well);

Not enough self defense, ground work, etc.

to beat: get in nice and close and push them over, lol. Again TKD doesnt teach anything assuming you're on the ground so once they're down thats it.

Also too tempting to kick leaving off balance - so thats another let down.

That's exactly the same limitation as Karate and most Gongfu styles have, though, and noone calls them on 'have to be in a certain stance to throw certain attacks'.. *shrugs*
