Grego Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 my dad taught me by wresting with me and playing rough, starting at age two.As a result, I'm pretty hard to hold down.

Kuma Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 This used to be something that happened more often in the West. The old man would take the kids out in the yard, or the basement, or into the garage, and teach them the "basics" of fighting. Keep your hands up, punch straight out, etc., etc. I believe that this used to happen more, but doesn't really happen so much anymore.Did your dad ever teach you how to fight? I remember when I was younget that my dad would spend some time with us on different aspects of defending ourselves. I think it is something that should be rekindled, too. I hope to do the same with my son.He never did, but fortunately my brothers and I had each other to practice on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akusokuzan Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yep, my dad and grandpa taught me some basic SD... My dad taught me how to punch and how to use some dirty tactics while grandfather taught me basic judo... So i know some throws... But for me it's not enough... I really need a formal training... Humility is THE BEST POLICY... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderingbudoka Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 My dad taught me reatty young on the basics of most MA, punching, kicking, moving, open hand techniques, some throws, and gave me a good idea what sticky hands was before i knew anything about MA. He never really had a whole lot of formal training later in life, but he was pretty into kung fu as an adolescent. Good times. Not the "Y"!! A good school!!! I gotta learn Karate!!!
