BLueDevil Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 I think if your with a group of MA peers and your doing it to learn and you set some small boundaries it could be a great tool. Bruce Lee and Hawkins chueng and wong shun lueng set up rooftop fights all the time to learn what really works in their art for certain situations (among other things)If your fighting to imitate chuck's book with no underlieing reasons than your doing it for the wrong reasons and it will mean nothing, the book and movie where trying to make a point about society There is no teacher but the enemy.
Goju_boi Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 well a friend of mine goes to northern shaolin school and on saturdays nights its pretty much a fight club. Because anybody that wants to spar comes in with their gear or borrows some and pretty much just have good times fighing,and it's not just people from their school,it's from other schools and styles ,as well as inexperienced street fighters. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
Muaythaiboxer Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 cool i just hope no one gets hurt and they are forced to stop. Fist visible Strike invisible
Goju_boi Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 well the wear the basics, gloves and a cup,but if they feel comfortable with more gear they can wear it https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
Muaythaiboxer Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 a very good idea Fist visible Strike invisible
Goju_boi Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I like it,it lets you experience going up againts other styles or streetfighter guys.Beacause it's not no holdsbarred,they have rules,and they let u go full contact unlike most martial arts schools. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
Muaythaiboxer Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 great... that needs to be done alot more i wonder what would happen if you added grapling to the mix. Fist visible Strike invisible
Goju_boi Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 It certainly does need to done a lot more,but as for grappling I don't think it will happen at that school,being that Northern Shaolin practitioners are stand up fighters when they fight https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
SenseiMike Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 There's one in murfreesboro TN...The Rising Sun Dojo. We beat the crud out of each other on a daily basis it's not illeagal, and there's a lot more to it ofcourse, but we still fight pretty darn hard. You can become a great fighter without ever becoming a martial artist, but no sir, you can not become a great martial artist with out becoming a great fighter. To fight is most certainly not the aim of any true martial art, but they are fighting arts all the same. As martial artists, we must stand ready to fight, even if hoping that such conflict never comes.-My response to a fellow instructor, in a friendly debate
Ninjitsu Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 My friends and I used to go boxing in this empty field and box, with gloves. It was actually kinda funny though. It all ended when I broke a kids nose. To this day I still feel horrible about it. Thats why I dont like fighting. To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.-Sun Tzu, the Art of War
