karate_woman Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 There is a good chance that my gym might close so i was wondering if it is a good idea to buy tekken 4 or vitrua fighter 4 to see what style of martial art i might like to take. Is this a good idea or the worste idea that you have ever heard? Not a good idea, for the reasons the others already mentioned. Go to some gyms/dojo/dojang and check them out. Unfortunately, you may find your ideal style and not be able to train in it because of other factors (money, poor quality/no dojo near you, etc); might as well see what is really available to you and go from there. I'm a case in point: I'd love to take additional training in kajukenbo if there was a dojo near here, but I'd have to go to Toronto (3 hrs driving round trip for 1-2 hr class....not feasible on a regular basis, though maybe OK for a seminar or something). The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. -Lao-Tse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzcraig Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Tekken tag, tekken 4 and capcom vs. snk are super rad. But as for following MA's and learning from the games.....I dunno. You can get a small idea from them but thats about it. And if anyone learns how to do a lightning uppercut, please inform me. #1"The road to tae kwan leep is an endless road leading into the herizon, you must fully understand its ways". #2"but i wanna wax the walls with people now" #1"come ed gruberman, your first lesson is here.....boot to the head" #2"ouch, you kicked me in the head", #1"you learn quickly ed gruberman" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theswarm Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 most games are pretty inaccurate with styles but dead or alive 3 is fun tekken tag is great mortal kombat 5 is alot of fun but i dont take any of their fighting as 'this is what this art is' because i look at something like mortal kombat 5's conception of karate and go huh what the fuck oh yeah like my first strike is going to be an outside shuto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
