sensei8 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 No matter the style of the MA, be it, TKD, JKD, Karate, Judo, Kung-fu, BJJ, and on and on, they share that one thing...CORE!!The core allows the expansion of the creation of its methodology and/or ideology. Therefore, we're of the same family.Yes or no?!?! Your thoughts! Hopefully, this small introduction can spawn some interesting questions as well as thoughts, including some concerns as well.Thank you, in advance! **Proof is on the floor!!!

quinteros1963 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Agreed. I always say a punch is a punch and a kick is a kick. I think we should embrace ideas from other styles. Doing so promotes personal growth and gets us closer to the origin of martial arts or as you put it the core. The past is no more; the future is yet to come. Nothing exist except for the here and now. Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what's clearly is clearly at hand...Lets continue to train!

lowereastside Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 My 3 cents - we have 2 arms 2 legs and 1 head. How many ways can we ...............? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagnerk Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I agree And unfortunately like any family there will always be the "black sheeps" (eg McDojo's/McDojang's) and the family members who believe that they are better than you........

DWx Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Sure they're all related. Same bodies and same tools to work it. Also all of these styles are connected in that they have been born out of one another so share the same base and methodology. TKD is derived from Karate, BJJ ultimately from Judo. Karate and Judo are connected through Jujutsu etc. The biggest disparity is when you compare styles which developed worlds away in different times in different places; Kalaripayat is different in many ways to Greco-Roman wrestling which is different to Capoeira which is different to Wing Chun and so on. A lot of stylist differences IMHO can be attributed to cultural differences impacting on methodology and ideology.

bushido_man96 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I guess the question is, what is the "core?" If the core is physical, then I'd say yes, because there are only certain ways the body can move and bend. Its different when you start talking about philosophies and ideals. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei8 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 PunchKickBlock/DeflectStrikePostureThings like these, we ALL have these in mind as a core; a core that we all share. Styles?!?!?!?!? We amend the core; that's what makes our styles' methodology and ideology and the like. **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
