ps1 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I knew a guy who took "freestyle karate." He told me it just meant that they weren't affiliated with any one system (shotokan, Ishin Ryu ect...). "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."

bushido_man96 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 "Freestyle" Karate may also be more sport-oriented as well. They may also do forms for tournaments that are more along the XMA genre as opposed to the more traditional forms. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy100 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I've started learning freestyle kickboxing, and while it's my first MA I've learnt, it seems to encompass all the 'standard' kicks and punches of kickboxing, with Muay Thai shins and some basic arm and leg sweeps throw in so far as well. As I've only been going for 4 weeks it's hard to tell what we'll eventually learn, but from the way we're taught I think that they'll be some knee and elbow strikes as well. As our instructor has trained in various MA's before (I can't remember specifically which off the top of my head now) I think he basically teaches wht he's found to be the most effective techniques for fighting - be it in sparring or a 'proper' street fight situation.From my own reading online I think 'freestyle' can mean a lot of things, but at it's best it can encompass a lot more versatility than just the set MA you're learning, thus making you a more efficient artist.Just my thoughts - I hope they make sense!Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
