AndrewGreen Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Not stupid, just not fighting.Get's some traditionalists in a huff though...The flashy stuff is great, takes a good deal of co-ordination and athleticism and is lots of fun. I'd prefer to do that over traditional kata, of course I'd prefer to spar over either of those Andrew Greenhttp://innovativema.ca - All the top martial arts news!
Shorinryu Sensei Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 No huff here...sorry. As long as people understand that the flasshy stuff is just for fun, and doesn't work other than for show, I have no problems with it. My issue with it is instructors TEACHING flash as legitimate, good technique. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
Goju_boi Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 like mentioned already if it's for fun then yeah,but I wouldn't mind doing flashy stuff with weapons.Becuase chances are that youre not going to use a pair of sais , bo , escrima in a real fight.On the other hand empty handed all I want is usefull stuff. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
orion82698 Posted October 1, 2005 Author Posted October 1, 2005 I 100% agree with you all. I just want it for fun, and a challenge for myself. I love the traditional way as well. But, it's fun to change it up, and keep things fresh! Thanks for the replies! I don't have to be the best, just better than you!Working towards 11% BF and a Six pack
Meguro Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 If you consider flashy to be theatrical, almost every Steven Segal movie( where he's near a pool table and a bad guy happens to break a pool cue in half) features stick fighting. Also, the "Bourne Supremacy" (movie not the book) has a knife vs. rolled-up magazine fight scene.Obviously googling escrima, Kali and Arnis will dredge up many more examples and vid clips.
Goju_boi Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 also I think it's in tomb raider 2.Angelina has a fight between some dude with a bo staff and she's using double filipino sticks on him(cool scene) https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
orion82698 Posted October 3, 2005 Author Posted October 3, 2005 also I think it's in tomb raider 2.Angelina has a fight between some dude with a bo staff and she's using double filipino sticks on him(cool scene)I remember that, and the SteveS movies too.

Goju_boi Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 are you talking about steven segal? https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
orion82698 Posted October 3, 2005 Author Posted October 3, 2005 LOL, yeah... I was in a hurry, and just wrote that I don't have to be the best, just better than you!Working towards 11% BF and a Six pack
Goju_boi Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 oh ok. I guess he would do stick fighting being that aikido uses a lot of staff techniques. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
