ps1 Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Who do you feel is the most innovative modern martial artist. Clearly there were some greats in the more ancient times. Lets try to keep this to those after the mid 1800s. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
ps1 Posted May 14, 2006 Author Posted May 14, 2006 Oh yeah...be sure to give a brief...or long explination. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."

strangepair03 Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 I would have to say Shimabuku Tatsuo......but then I may be a little biased!!!!!!! A punch should stay like a treasure in the sleeve. It should not be used indiscrimately.Kyan Chotoku Sensei
BUCKEYE Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 I would also have to say Grandmaster Shugoro Nakazato. Not only is he the president of the Okinawan Shorin-Ryu ShorinKan Karate-do Kyokai, but the Okinawan Prefecture Board of Education awarded Hanshi NAKAZATO the title of "Kenmukei Bunkazi" - Intangible Cultural Asset.Respectfully,Buckeye "There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you.”~Woody Hayes
BUCKEYE Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 Although like strangepair03, I might be a little biased as well..... "There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you.”~Woody Hayes
DaltonX Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 I like Ed Parker...that's just me though...^_^; Dalken-my sword style, I made it up, this is so people don't look at it and go WHA?! Basically I put the first three letters of my name in front of the first three letters of kenpo lol...now for my actual quote:"Be as water, my friend."

patusai Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 ChibanaItosuToyamaFunakoshiNot necessarily in that order. If I had to pick one from my list it would be Itosu...because of personal bias among other things "Don't tell me the sky's the limit because I have seen footprints on the moon!" -- Paul Brandt
