Punchdrunk Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Kickchick is MOST correct. One cannot choose to be passive without the option to be aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai_Kick Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Running! Then why train in the Martial arts? Should you be training in track and field? Limits Are Not Accepted. They Are Elbowed, Kicked And Punched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KickChick Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Running!Then why train in the Martial arts? Should you be training in track and field? Okay, so "running" may not be a "technique" per se but a strong cardiovascular system may be the edge that differentiates between winning and loosing in a tournament or on the street. Endurance and stamina is developed through running and will prove to be invaluable in many self defense circumstances.... (as I know very well with having to chase after my purse snatcher last week!) I'm sure you'd like to think that all street confrontations will end quickly with some well executed strikes, but in reality this is not often the case. Your heart pounds and the adrenaline flows an you can exhaust yourself in a matter of seconds. Knowing that you have increased endurance can give you the psychological edge against your "opponent". So NO I'm not training in track & field! ... but as I can see from your response why cardio training is an area often neglected by "most" martial artists in their training routines, because it isn't evident to "some" just how it does directly benefit your art.

KickChick... I'm a Muay Thai fighter, I do more cardio and conditioning in one day, then most martial artist do in a week. Limits Are Not Accepted. They Are Elbowed, Kicked And Punched.

KickChick Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Thai_kick, you will notice in this particular post (and in most of my posts) that I make very good use of (") .... so you are not like "most" martial artists ... well, we are not all muay thai fighters and many of us (non-muay thai practitioners) may need to crosstrain with a cardio endurance exercise such as running. So in effect ... you are not disputing the importance? Or do you still believe "running" belongs only to those who train in track & field? Y'know ... Bruce Lee viewed "running" as the "King of exercises" And I do believe it is a valid self defense proponent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnraj Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 there is no techique that is the best. everytechique has advantages and disadvantages. but generally, almost all leg techniques are superior compared to hand techniques except for the three hole pu nch.

benedictbm Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 My most confident move would have to a roundhouse kick then a backfist/knuckle. I usually will throw multiple round house kicks at varing levels then end low and backfist high to the head or pectorial muscle area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I always find it was the first technique I learnt which is the most comfortable? Jab, reverse front puch kick. Anyone else find that?
