Himokiri Karate Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I have been a member since 2009 and first time I am facing this problem in a real way. Perhaps this is something we all face but to me it cuts in to me in many layers. I have recently questioned the effectiveness of my style ( boxing/karate/kungfu) ever since I immersed my self in Sambo. This sambo is incredible!!!Let me tell you this...Sambo moves are actually closer to the original judo. Meanwhile modern judo has been watered down and it became its own thing. In the sambo I am learning, I feel so assured. Like I don't even feel like I could kick anyone's rear end, its the fact that it feels like coding. You add the html, the header, the body, the div and you create ornaments. Now I am new in coding and I see so much of it be like sambo.The difficulty is the fact that I have to acknowledge that there is a martial arts style that is simply superior to my style. I don't mean in a sense of who wins in a fight. But rather an art form that instills so much metaphoric goodness. If done right, moves look clean, teachable to civilians, great for sport grappling and its combat version is good for self-defense and combat sports format. It can be taught to law enforcement, nurses, doctors and paramedics.Overall I know that sambo learn its style from judo/boxing and various forms of miscellaneous martial arts and so its important not to get too attached in what you are practicing. For me I have reached a point where I have to give major props to a style of martial arts that is secondary for me. It begins with the knowledge that the severity of a strikes impact is amplified by a smaller surface area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Cobra Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Sometimes it takes a while to find the style that is right for you. If Sambo is it, go for it!

bushido_man96 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Sometimes it takes a while to find the style that is right for you. If Sambo is it, go for it!I agree. I think this just happens as we progress in our MA journey. It sounds like Sambo should maybe become your primary style, if you can swing that. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
