spinninggumby Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Well this is not a silly question even though your forum topic revolves around a video game , hehe. I am fairly familiar with Rival Schools and I know who Kyosuke is. In fact, he is also a character in Capcom vs. SNK 2. He uses other hand techniques besides punching but also uses many different types of effective kicks. To answer your question, there are probably an abundance of kung fu styles which use a variety of hand techniques (i.e. eagle claws, monkey paws, palm strikes, etc.) which are supplemented with powerful effective kicking. I could not place his style right off the bat (considering that it IS a video game and his style is probably a mixture of many) but I guess as an example, my old Shaolin kung fu kwoon taught many open handed attacks and we used powerful kicks mainly to intercept and finish off the attacker. It's not too uncommon, I would think. BTW I prefer Hideo and the guy with the red coat and the sword, hehehe. :lol: P.S. I would assume, even though I have no formal experience in either, that cross training Muay Thai with Brazilian Jujitsu would be a good idea since they both have proven (at least to my knowledge) to be fairly effective on the street when compared to many other arts. Muay Thai has very effective simple strikes and BJJ is known for its grappling and ground fighting It can't hurt to delve into other things, just in case you happen to end up on the floor in an alley or federal prison shower room.

Good luck with that attitude, there are fighters out there who train and look forward to fighting someone with a battle plan like yours.

Angus Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 A scenario: A massive Samoan dude comes up behind u, pushes u to the ground, gets on top of u and starts pounding ur brains out... what do u do? Oops, u don't do ground fighting, but somehow this guy got close to u and took u to the ground... Now how in the sam hill did that happen? If u don't know how to do something, then learn it... simple! Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBN Doug Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Angus, couldn't I counter that by either staying away from Samoa, or carrying around a cheeseburger in my pocket? :lol: Just kidding, you really DO need to have some type of training to counter a grappler, regardless of how probable the chance is that they will be able to get you to the ground.

thaiboxerken Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I'll never ever let a person punch at me, so I won't even train to parry/block/evade them. Sounds dumb, huh? It's almost as silly as:"and it will be a very cold day in hell if anyone could get close enoough to me in a fight to grapple me" Just kick 'em, they'll understand.- Me Apprentice Instructor under Guro Inosanto in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipinno Martial arts.Certified Instructor of Frank Cucci's Linxx system of martial arts.

Come on now, what is the chance of a massive Samoan dude attacking a normal civilian on the streets? Even better what is the chance of him attacking anyone, or you even spotting a dude like that? Do you not know there are actual laws, and punishments these days when it comes to fighting and attacking people? We don't live in old times anymore, when we need martial arts to survive. People mostly learn these arts for other reasons these days. Alot of martial arts teach awerness these days, so when a situation like that would become evident you can avoid it. Also I would like to add, that the gun is the most effective and easiest form of self defense today (it's also the most popular). And, you can obtain a gun fairly easil these days. So when someone threatens you all you have to do is take out the gun, and most likely they'll run. [ This Message was edited by: ChangWuJi on 2002-02-19 23:36 ] "There are no limits.
