unknownstyle Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 i would think Judo is probably your best bet since isshin ryu is a fairly close range striking art. i would flow right into your natural fighting principles "Live life easy and peacefully, but when it is time to fight become ferocious."
StrangeBacon Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Isshinryu would be complimented very well by Aikido. This.We mix Aikido in with the karate too, it may be more to your liking since you mentioned you are quite slight and have trouble throwing burly men, Aikido is more momentum and balance based, a big burly man off balance.....if anything his weight is going to work against him "Get beyond violence, yet learn to understand its ways""Seek peace in every moment, yet be prepared to defend your very being""Does the river dwell on how long it will take to become the ocean..." - Sensei Bruce Paynehttps://www.shinkido.co.uk
isshinryu5toforever Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 Judo uses the same principles as Aikido. You just learn how to slam people to the ground. I'd say that either one would compliment Isshinryu well, but Judo is generally cheaper and more widely available in the US. I'm a big fan of Judo and what you can learn from it about momentum and body mechanics. He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened.- Tao Te Ching"Move as swift as a wind, stay as silent as forest, attack as fierce as fire, undefeatable defense like a mountain."- Sun Tzu, the Art of War
bushido_man96 Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Also in Judo, you will learn more how to break balance in a lot more ways than you will in Aikido. In Judo at times, you have to create the energy to break balance, as opposed to always waiting for it to come to you. This is a more valuable skill, in my opinion, and it tends to be an art within the art. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
