sensei8 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) Edit: This topic was meant to be a poll. I couldn't remember how to make it so, until Patrick re-educated me on how to do make a poll. Please feel free to pick your poll choice, even though you might have already posted already your opinions. Thank you for your understanding!

Jeffrey Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I’m going to go with experiences. IMO it does not matter how many techniques you know. With out experience using them, they are worthless. And that is my 2 cents of Monday thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevinyrral Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Well it depends if you mean lots of weak techniques, because if they are strong and good I'd take more tehniques over the experience A style is just a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDPulver Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 in my younger days of learning MA i too wouldve gone with techniques. but....After many years of practicing, studying, working with other practicioners, delving into techniques to find the multiple meanings I'm going with experience...brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperki Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Maybe I'm missing something that's obvious, but isn't the reason we do anything recreational for the experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallgeese Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 The experience. It's what makes every technique you learn work under duress. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evergrey Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I think the experiences.Anyone can be a thug.It takes a special kind of character and experience to become a warrior. http://kyokushinchick.blogspot.com/"If you can fatally judo-chop a bull, you can sit however you want." -MasterPain, on why Mas Oyama had Kyokushin karateka sit in seiza with their clenched fists on their thighs.

KarateGeorge Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Most anybody can learn the mechanical movements to any number of techniques with a little practice. The experiences of the martial arts journey is what really matters the most to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 To (sort of) quote Bruce Lee: "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."No good having 100s of techniques if you don't know how and when to use them. Can't really teach the finer points of that, all comes with experience.And if we're talking about experience in the sense of life changing experiences, would take them over volume of techniques any day.

Nevinyrral Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Yeah, but the question did not specify that the tehniques will be weak.And if you dont even know how to jab properly, you wont get any experience coz you'll get knocked easily A style is just a name.
