What have you learned from your style(s)?

[NightOwl]

What fundemental concept have you gotten from any of the syles that you have trained in?

.......................................................................................................

TKD: it's been years since I've done it, but I it started me out in MA, and put me on the path to wanting to continue to study and learn MA as a longtime pursuit!

WingChun: Came across this after about a year of searching for a new art to study. Only did it for about 2 months before moving on to something else, but I'm glad for the little that I learned. It taught me that you don't have to be fancy(the sifu was fond of saying when it took someone too many moves during practicing against punches that' You know I'm not filming a movie! You need to get the heck outta there!'), and sometimes I still find myself using a little bit of the trapping when I get in too close while sparring around.

Boxing/striking: Did this at a MMA gym. It taught me how to punch and to bob and weave...saved me alot of hits to the head! The most important thing though was that it forced me on a daily basis to spar and get over my fear of fighting, and even though contact was not at a KO level, it got me used to having someone (usually bigger than me) throwing head and body shots at a realistic speed and learning how to deal with them.

TKD: I learned how important good technique is. Also, I learned that I like to kick, and like to push my body, seeing what it can do.

Hapkido: I have learned the little footwork involved with trying to manipulate someone. I also learned a little about striking when in close.

Kyokushin: Taught me good kicking combos, how to deliver a solid low round-house, and the the mentality needed to engage a person in a real fight.

Jujitsu: Taught me how to manipulate people on the ground, and some standup.

Shudokan Karate: footwork, power generation, speed, accuracy, flexibility, low kicks, agility.

Kendo: the impractical knowledge of how to whack people in the head with bamboo.

Yamanni-ryu: power generation, grace, bo techniques

Navaja Knife: commitment.

[MizuRyu]

Tang Soo Do: Basics, stances, blocks, snap punching and joint locks

Wing Chun: Actually my most used stand-up system. I don't use the triangle stance however because I've had bad things happen, I usually adopt legwork from boxing and apply the hand techniques, which works at an angle much more effectively (in my opinion). It taught me raw aggression, target prioritization (ONLY strike the face, unless you absolutely can't), not to throw high kicks, and how to crumple someone. It also gave me the ability to catch ridiculously fast moving objects lol.

Ryu-Te: taught me that the word 'traditional' isn't always the best thing. It also taught me that just because a teacher makes something LOOK effective on his students, doesn't mean it is... at all.

BJJ: How to work the floor. Probably the most life-saving skillset I have. It also taught me that there's almost no such thing as a bad position.

Judo: Taught me how to get someone on the ground aggressively and assert myself in my ground game. It's also giving me a wicked physique!

And boxing: Taught me how to hit hard, and how not to get hit.
