omnifinite Posted October 23, 2002 Posted October 23, 2002 I've talked to someone who studies Aizu (name originating from the island I would guess). Supposedly very old. Sounds like aikido in some ways... sounds like ninjitsu in some ways... a lot of lore incorporated... more of a lifestyle than an art I think (or maybe I should say more like an "art" really should be). I'm curious if anyone else has ever heard of it... but I don't know enough to give any other input on it. 1st Dan HapkidoColored belts in Kempo and Jujitsu

daeinwolf Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 Thaing--It is a Burmese fighting style that I think Bando is a part of. I have seen Bando practiced and it seems fairly intense. Peace favor---Joshua There are no limits.

Shorin Ryuu Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 Savate-This is a French martial art that I believe involves lots of kicking. Sources vary on its origins, and range from the 1600s to the 1800s I think. I really don't know much about it, I was just amused that the French had their own martial arts. Anyone know much else about it? My knowledge of martial arts beyond superficial facts is pretty much limited to Eastern styles. Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/

Shogun Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 Systema, AKA Russian Martial Art. I think its really slow and incredibly boring, but the masters do some pretty cool things. https://www.russianmartialart.com Man to man, Soldier to soldier, Dust to dust.
StormKrow Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 of the ones I've heard of: Maharklika Kuntaw - (which I've studied) comes from the philippines, gets its origins from several systems, 3 filipino, 3 non-filipino primarily. Pankration (spelling?) - comes from Greece I think. Krav Maga - I "think" is an Israeli system There's also a russian system who's name eludes me at the moment. ---You can run.......but why die tired?
