Taku-Shimazu Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) I would just like to say Russian MA? Russian? No! What I meant was (No offence) Asia understand MA. I do not mean that all non Asian MA are rubbish except that they are not using MA to its potential. Edited March 1, 2005 by Taku-Shimazu The cool summer breeze passes me by.

kzshin Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 baji chuan is a very hard chinese style. It was widely used by Royal Guard during Chin Dynasty (the last dynasty). One of it's emphasis is to protect others, which is unique than other art. Some of moves were actually sacrafice self to protect other. It's a very "body gurad" style.

baronbvp Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Does it matter if it is technically a martial art if you are dead? I don't think so. Applied martial arts for life or death situations is the same as applied math for building real bridges -- what matters is whether it works. Only as good as I make myself be, only as bad as I let myself be.Martial arts are like kinetic chess. Your move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
