Fairfax_Uechi Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I am in TKD and I love it, ive been in it for about 3 years adn have done other styles but havent liked them as much as this one, i have recently earned my black belt and i am then going to find another style like kung fu to practice next, tell of your favorite styles!But if you just earned your black belt you've just begun. Why quit now?I study Uechi-Ryu and it is a very pratical art and more kung fu than karate. It's well suited for my needs. I hear people make comments like yours all the time and wonder why they want to stop one art and stop another. I'm at a point where I'm starting to learn about other arts and learn from them to complement my Uechi not replace it. But that's just my opinion.Good luck in whatever you do.

italian_guy Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I'm doing GoJu ryu karate and like it very much, I tried other three MAs (see signature) but in one way or another GoJu ryu karate is the art that fits me more.We do kihon, kata, grappling, sparring, bunkai it is very rich and has various aspects, this is what I like the most about it.

SubGrappler Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Well, Im sure you could answer this question by looking at the poster's list of styles he trains in, so I'll change it up a bit.Some of my favorite martial arts to watch include Muay Thai, Kali/Escrima knifefighting, Savate, San Shou, and wrestling.Muay Thai matches are very entertaining to watch- there was this huge venue over in Atlantic City this weekend called battle at the boardwalk, and I think it pretty much featured every martial art you could find.The Muay Thai matches were great- I like them so much more than boxing- there isnt a fight for 12 rounds- they go out there and try to kill each other in the first minute.Knife fighting is fun to watch just because they're so precise with what they want to do- its the only martial art that I would conceed has the possibility of defending multiple attackersSavate is like muay thai, minus the knees and elbowsSan Shou is also like muay thai, except they add takedowns- you get points for taking your opponent to the mat when you clinch up, although the match is restarted back on the feet (there is no groundwork).Wrestling is also very fun to watch because its very fast and very dynamic- I get to see guys with good takedowns work on putting the other on his back. Since I like takedowns in wrestling, Im partial towards freestyle wrestling moreso than folkstyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marie curie Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Yeh, Kajukenbo will give you a different approach to your training- more self-defense- less of the sport. It's awesome, though not in all areas yet. You suck-train harder.......................Don't block with your faceA good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. -Lao Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
