CQB Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 i agree with what everyone has already suggested to you. It is important to decide what application is important for you to be good at. Kata? Kumite? Street fighting? These apps are all different and require different skill sets, and require different types of training.IMHO, trophies and such dont matter to much to me. I'm too old for all that. I am only concerned with how I would fare in a genuine altercation on the street. Hence my training reflects that priority for that application.Success in genuine reality fighting (not MMA/UFC stuff) requires us to train to fight dirty, to be aggressive, and to be prepared to remove ourselves from the situation when the opportunity presents itself. Lose any ego we may have and get the job done.Saying someone trains in "martial arts" doesnt indicate which martial arts "application" that person is training for. Martial Arts has such depth and encompasses so many areas of training. Select YOUR area of priority and train accordingly.wanna kick butt on the streets? Lose the fancy stuff for now and keep it simple & savage.Good luck! In today's world there are people who will try to victimize you or a loved one. No reality check is as frightening nor as powerful as when one becomes a victim of criminal violence. At this point it isn't about winning or losing - it's about surviving. Train to survive.

TKDguy Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Flashy stuff is not good anywhere not in a tournament, or in a street fight, I do Taekwondo so there is a lot of kicks, but my instructor teaches us to kick high for a reason, he says if you can kick high with a lot of power to the head, then you can double that foot power when you do it lower like the chest, abdomen etc..

Sam Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 it also improve balance and flexibility and control o the leg..... so youre gaining more than just high kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalKarate Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 hmm... never thought of it like that, I always thought high kicks were just a waste of time all together. Would you guys ever use a high kick to the face in a real conflict?

Sam Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 depends.... probably not to be honest....just remember dont dismiss a moev just because it seems impractical - try and work out what you get from doing it other than the technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
