Treebranch Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 Mixed martial arts isn't a Martial Art. The most complete Martial Art I've seen so far is Togakure Ninpo Taijutsu. Sure you can mix other arts together and costumize you own Martial Art, but how well will they all flow together? Maybe there are contradictions from Muy Thai to Kali, or Wing Chun to BJJ? If you learn unarmed techniques that you practice over and over and then a weapon is put into your hand and you have to throw those unarmed techniques out the window, I'd say it's not an efficient way to learn Martial Arts.

King of Fighters Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 Mixing martial arts may not be an art but muay thai/bjj/wing chun/kali would be a mixture of styles that couldnt be beat. Muay thai has great, powerful striking and chinch techniques, hard training methods and full contact sparring and it is one of the best stand up fighting styles. Bjj is probebly the best ground fighting system and has great grappling, throwing, takedowns along with chokes and arm bars. Kali covers a wide range of weapons, how to use them, and how to defend against weapons. Wing chun has pressure points, groin kicks, and hits to vulnerable areas along with joint lock techniques. See, every range and aspect of fighting is covered. This combo covers punches, kicks, knees, elbows, grappling, clinching, groundwork, chokes, armbars, joint locks, pressure points, street defence, weapon use, weapon defence, pratical fighting skills, throws, takedowns, foot sweeps, and all types of blocks, and it probebly has even more. I dont think that you could find many defaults that with this combo except that it would cost a lot of time and money.

Well I don't have a lot of money, and Budo Taijutsu has nine schools that cover everything you mentioned, so I guess if One Martial Art covers all of what you mentioned it must be pretty good, right?

King of Fighters Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 for 1 What is Budo Taijutsu? Secondly I think that if an art covers so many areas, they will produce fighters who are jacks of all trades but will never be a master of a single range. Well thats just my thought.
paolung Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 budo taijutsu if i remember correctly is the modernized unarmed combat methods of the ninja, at least from the bunjinkan point of view. the bunjinkan is purportedly the only "true" lineage of ninjitsu left on the planet, and is headed by masaki hatsumi, a pretty famous guy in the ninja circles.

Treebranch Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 The areas covered in Budo Taijutsu are all based on the same basic principles. So from each school the learning curve is faster as you go along. They are not all different styles per say, they are a series of specialized techniques with the same principles. Your statement is better suited for MMA, not Budo Taijutsu, and just because you don't know what it is and you never heard of it, doesn't mean it's not effective. No one knew what BJJ was 50 years ago. "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"

King of Fighters Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 Well, first off, I had to intensions of putting down your style, and I only said that saying because a lot of arts I find that try to do too much end up producing fighters that know a little about everything but not a lot about a certain aspect (look at hapkido as a prime example). Does your style take a really long time to master? because i think that it would be very hard to fit so many ranges and techniques of fighting into a system and still have them effiective. I have never heard of a style covering so many aspects, but then again I havent ever heard of your style so maybe you could inform me about it. I still dont think that any single style or combination could be better than MT/Bjj/Kali/WC because each style is the best in its class and putting them all together would be like creating a perfect style.
