Bleeding Lion Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I participated, and it was very cool. The sensei let me get on the mat despite having goju ryu patch and belt. I liked kicking above the waist. that was fun. Im not sure I'll go again though, and wont have much time next semester, so why bother taking this only for a month or 2? We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence thus, is not an act, but a habit. --- Aristotle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottnshelly Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Im not sure I'll go again though, and wont have much time next semester, so why bother taking this only for a month or 2?It's good to get exposure to other methods and techniques, even if it's only for a month or two. If you enjoyed the class and the Instructor, and if you have the time and resources, I would encourage you to attend and learn as much as you can.

brawler1245 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I dissagree i wouldnt. IN your style they do not kick above they waist. If thats the style you train in I wouldnt want to mix 2 different pholosiphys together. Don't block with your face.--Soo Bahk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aefibird Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I think that a couple of month's training won't do you any harm. You'll enjoy it and get to learn about another system at the same time.

scad Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 actually taking two is a great idea, it will broaden your spectrum for style and i agree with scottnshelly as well, you can only improve. i'm at TKD any where from 3 to 6 days a week and beleive me if taken seriously like most martial arts. TKD is great, especially if your instructor like to teach traditional.nomatter what it be..will power and heart produces great things nomatter what it be, will power and heart produces great things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aodhan Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 actually taking two is a great idea, it will broaden your spectrum for style and i agree with scottnshelly as well, you can only improve. i'm at TKD any where from 3 to 6 days a week and beleive me if taken seriously like most martial arts. TKD is great, especially if your instructor like to teach traditional.It depends on where he is in his first style. I don't really recommend cross training in two arts that are dissimilar until you have achieved a fairly decent level of proficiency in your first art. Otherwise, you can confuse what you are trying to drill into your muscles and pattern recognition.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalRage Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I dissagree i wouldnt. IN your style they do not kick above they waist. If thats the style you train in I wouldnt want to mix 2 different pholosiphys together.You never know, he might need to kick above the waist someday. Cross training is the best way to become versatile and fluid with sparring, no system has an answer to every situation, and not every situation requires one response. As long as you have a strong foundation in your base style, cross training is very very important.FYI brawler, many of the US SBD Federation members and Dans crosstrain. Some schools offer groundfighting or even weapons training that masters have cross trained in. I myself took up Wing Chun for a couple years and a little smattering of BJJ.
