Taikudo-ka Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Taikudo Taikudo is a Japanese style of karate, developed by Grand Master Hideo Kosone. After studying various Japanese martial arts including karate, judo and jujitsu, he incorporated points from each art to create Taikudo Karate. Taikudo features its own set of kata, but is not kata heavy, requiring around 6 for shodan rank. Kata one is called Ten Ni No, but bears no relation to Funakoshi's Ten No. KarateForums.com - Sempai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radok Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Tyson dind't stand a chance against Lewis either, but he's still my fav boxer. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.

Kensai Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Pankration. A ancient Greek martial art. That could be the basis of Kung Fu, which some evidence suggests. As is was created in 628 BC. It is very simplar to modern day wrestling, with the basic rules of no eye gouging and biting. All else goes. It has highly developed kicking and punching techniques.

KickChick Posted October 22, 2002 Author Share Posted October 22, 2002 ... any other "uncommon martial art styles" that you may have ifo on?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Mine .... well, the style I study is definitely not well known. It called Kwok Wu Chuen ..... a mix of WTF TKD and Shaolin Kung Fu. We do all the TKD belt ranks and Taeguk forms, but at red belt, we start learning Kung Fu forms, and weapon forms. From BB and up we learn one TKD form, one Kung Fu form, and one weapons form for each dan rank. No offense to the Kung Fu people, but I like the TKD part better That's just me, though.

karatekid1975 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Yea, I guess it is. I'm only a green belt, so I won't learn the Kung fu for another year or so. I like the Korean arts, and my honey always liked Kung Fu, so we have the best of both worlds We do learn Chin Na for self defense (at every rank) also. I do like that. It's sort of Hapkido-ish (which I learned with TSD), so I enjoy that alot. Thanks anyways X. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superleeds Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I thought I would start up this thread to shed some light on some "lesser known" martial arts that come from various countries from around the world. It is amazing just how many "martial arts" there are out there. If you have some info on an "uncommon" or "lost" martial art... post it here! Here is one: (I came across this surfing just the other day) Stav (a Nordic Martial Art) http://www.einherjarve.org.uk/s_overview.htm In English "stav" means stick. The art was developed or at least utilized by the vikings. There are very few people today that know this form. Read a book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
