french fri25 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 sounds interesting. the only thing i dont agree with is when you said "Want to know if your martial arts works?" i think all martial arts work. i think it just depends on "how" you train, not "what" you train in.

marie curie Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 agreed- I doubt that a book will be the deciding factor in weather or not I can effectively use my arts to my advantage, but it does sound interesting 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...
learning kempo-karate Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hello, Most martial arts- teach a form of self-defense and make you believe it will work.The army/marines teaches their soldiers to fight in war like conditions...most will come and say it is very different from practice.To learn to fight like real is to practice like real ...anything goes, biting,up close,NONE stop,adenline flowing, fear, in a strange place -unfamliar against people you don't know? Hard to train like that HUH? In a real situtions..it will be harder especially when you do not want to get into a fight-back situtions.Ever see a street fight look like a Kata? Deep stances? arm way back like a karate stance? NO one fights like this? Movies maybe?These books will share something you may not be aware about? By reading them....you will understand...or if you get into a real fight? than you will really understand. ....Aloha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I honestly think that anyone's first fight is going to be a wake-up call. No matter how you train. However, that is not to say that there aren't better training methods out there. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
learning kempo-karate Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hello, Yes there are better training methods. The bad guys learn real street techiques that has been proven from experience.There style of anything goes,chaos,non-stop,anything for weapons can be use....NO limits..fight to keep you from fighting back. Hit till you cannot move anymore....they don't care. They been in jail before.Do you train like that? for chaos? Have you ever talk to these guys who fight on the street often? It will be very interesting to hear how they fight?I use to work with a guy who was a trouble maker...got fire for chasing a guy in a VW parking lot with a hammer for a weapon....VW said something and ...oh well. He survive the attack. (out ran this person).TWO great books worth reading: Gift of Fear...and Fighter Fact Book 2.....The real world fighting and world of martial arts? You will find is NOT the same thing! Please study this well....time is a good source of learning.Train in Shotokan Karate, Tang Soo do, Kempo, and a little JUDO....Still learning and still studying about the art of self-defence. My thoughts have change alot since the beginning of learning...still going thru changes....Aloha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightOwl Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'll keep an eye out for it next time I'm near a bookstore... sounds like an interesting read Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.~Theodore Roosevelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
