jiu-jitsu fighter Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 kensai, i haven't heard of the style you have mentioned, but i believe the mantis fighter will be able to handle himself depending on his skill level "When we go to the ground,you are in my world, the ground is the ocean, I am the shark,and most people don't even know how to swim"
jiu-jitsu fighter Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 praying mantis is a unique, chinese kung fu style, its strength lies in its practioners ability to use incredible speed , i will look into aikido also there are two aikido schools where i live and the "sensai" at one of them is said to have studied under "0 sensai" the dojo is called "aikido de la montagne" or in english aikido of the mountain, just thought you'd liek to know that kensai "When we go to the ground,you are in my world, the ground is the ocean, I am the shark,and most people don't even know how to swim"
Kyle-san Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 praying mantis is a unique, chinese kung fu style, its strength lies in its practioners ability to use incredible speed And if the practitioner isn't faster than the opponent?
Kensai Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 Have a look JJ figher. Very different from the BJJ you do. However always check the credability of anyone that says they have trainined with O Sensei, or any of the big Aikido names. Kyokushin fighter, is a nasty mixture of Goju Ryu, Shotokan, Judo and Mauy Thai. Its doing really well in K1 tournements and the like. It was created by the "God Hand" himself Mas Oyama. Here's a useful link. http://www.kyokushinmail.com/koya/Kyokushin.htm
MantisWarrior Posted January 15, 2003 Author Posted January 15, 2003 thanx for the info and advice everyone Fighting out of hate brings only disgrace.
rb Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 If you haven't already I'd ask your instructor about sparring at another school. This is a matter of etiquette and not about gaining fighting tips. If you can pass this hurdle then your teacher, who is familiar with your capabilities is perhaps best suited for giving you sparring pointers. Other than that, keep in mind that the Kyokushin students possess the same basic blocks, punches, and kicks that you do. You have to ask yourself if you are proficient in using those techniques. As for advanced techniques it is hard to know all that your opponent knows without studying their style and the particular person. good luck.
