A different kind of post

[Sid Vicious]

All i've seen is "which style is better" so i thought i would change it a bit but still try to keep it comparative.

 

If you was going to make your own "style" of martial arts, which styles would you base your style on and why? And if you want to you can list some of the strong points and weak points. I know that most have already been "created" but i just want everyones personal opinion.

 

Mine: Muay Thai(spelling?), and BJJ.

 

(sorry if this doesn't belong here, i thought that since it discussed more than one style from different origins it should be posted here.)

I would use Muay Thai for the basic moves , JKD to get some moves that flow a little better and Sambo for the grappling.

[Kyle-san]

Aki-Jujitsu. If I can get to a level where I can teach it (brown or black) then I really don't need any other art to base a "new" one off of.

[rabid hamster]

muay thai for its effectivness in stand up fighting. TKD for it's cool kicks. boxing for punches, BJJ for graplling, aikido for locks, tai chi for chi, eskrima for weapons. of course there's no way in h e l l that i'm gonna train in all those styles and get good in them. so probably just muay thai, bjj, eskrima..

[Kensai]

I would agree with Kyle-San, getting to a high level in Aikido, I would not need any other styles. THere is nothing I would want to add to Aikido either.

 

Take Care.

I think I would mix my style of Tae Kwon Do with WuShu and BJJ.

 

This may seem like a strange mixture but I'll tell you why:

 

1. Tae Kwon Do - because I can't imagine life without this...

 

2. WuShu - to amplify the artistic beauty of TKD...I've wanted to study WuShu for quite a while now.

 

3. BJJ - to improve the self-defense of TKD...we don't have a very extensive ground fighting system.

 

So basically, I want to still practice my style but with a few added "extras" to make it even better

 

Sid Vicious - kudos to you for creating a calm, constructive post

 

happy posting, guys!

Like the rest of you I love my style -

 

Shidokan - the triathalon of martial arts

 

(bareknuckle karate, thai kickboxing, grappling)

 

but I also take BJJ and spar boxing. I could work a lot more on Judo for throwing and pure wrestling for takedowns but there's only 24 in every 1 of the 7. Plus I have a mutant ability to be lazy.

Monkey girl -

 

A combination of Wushu and TKD would give you MAD exhibition and fight choreography skills. I would love to see your version of a Matrix style fight scene.

[Karateka_latino]

My combo it is simple:

 

Do Boxing/muay thai and Wrestling... Combat sports against resisting oponents and for conditioning and tough the body.

 

Any martial arts of your choice ( karate, Kung fu, Hapkido, TKD, Aikido, Tang soo do, etc..)

 

and BJJ for ground fighting.

 

That combo will keep you busy for the rest of your life.
