Piedro Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 I was wondering what are some good defensive styles of martial arts... I am thinking wing chun? seem's very interesting.. ==========================Choose carefully and live with whatever happens...
Kirves Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 What do you mean by "defencive"? Wing Chun is very aggressive and offencive style.
G95champ Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 Akkido may be the most defensive style in that it has very little hand strikes and no kick to my knowledge. It is based on using the attackers motion against him. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
telsun Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 I was wondering what are some good defensive styles of martial arts... I am thinking wing chun? seem's very interesting.. You can make any(?) style defensive if that is the way you choose to use it. Although I would agree with G95champ to my knowledge of Aikido, limited as it is, I would say that it is the ultimate defensive style due to the reasons mentioned. If you are looking for an alround M/A I would suggest Jujitsu. Which includes fighting from all ranges. I keep asking God what I'm for and he tells me........."gee I'm not sure!"
slaine Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 hello my friend, well aikido as someone else put is a good chioce , but takes a long time to learn ( but one of my fave's) i would try something like muay-thai (thai-boxing) you will learn street techniques. i.e low kicks elbows, knees and clinch work (grabing and kneeing) also with the training you will become very fit ,so can react faster. I hope this has been some help Slaine hello,i am a karate student with the rokaki club, i've just passed my 3rd kyu (chuffed), i also hold a black belt kick-boxing and coaching grade in freestyle thai. i like motor sport, beer, and good conversation. My brother's a drummer so music as well. hope to talk to you soon. slaine.
Kaju_influenced Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 I agree with champ aikido is very defensive usually not intended to hurt opponent but to redirect his energy "Sweat more in the dojo,bleed less in the street"Kajukenbo fighters axiom.
Batosai Imora Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 If you really want to defend yourself well and not have to take forever on "mastering" anything learn how to box its a great martial art and if learn how to move properly , bob and weave and slipping punches you can easily defeat an average martial artist without too much difficulty its hard to learn at first but after a while its cake learning how to streetfight aint a bad idea either to add with boxing ladies email me for some fun
Piedro Posted July 12, 2003 Author Posted July 12, 2003 hmmm anyrighty, but what about wing chun... can someone tell me a little more about wing chun? ==========================Choose carefully and live with whatever happens...
Kirves Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 Wing Chun is based on the idea of intercepting the attack and turning the tables. A Wing Chun person will deflect the initial attack and then launch a chain of attacks of his own that will only stop when the opponent is down. Wing Chun doesn't teach any way to retreat, but you connect and go in and continue forward until you have stopped the attacker completely. Wing Chun is known for it's sticking hands methods. That means, that when attacked, you deflect the attack and then you keep contact with the enemy's hands. If he pulls the hands in to reload, your hands go in keeping in constant touch with his hands. And when you feel his hands are coming towards you again, you keep your hands sticky to his and deflect the attack. While doing this "sticking to him" you constantly seek for gaps in his defence so you can launch your barrage of strikes immediately when a target presents itself. A very aggressive style of self defence. There are several styles or branches of Wing Chun. The most widespread (so widespread, most people in the martial arts think it is the only Wing Chun branch) is that taught by the late Yip Man. Now his students have several organizations teaching the art in slightly different manner. Leung Ting calls his style Wing Tsun and they have modernized the training methods somewhat. One of previous students of Wing Tsun, Emin Boztepe, split from the organization and founded his own Ebmas which is taught is a slightly different manner also. Another student of Yip Man, William Cheung, teaches a non-modernized style with the trademarked name "Traditional Wing Chun". A good Wing Chun info site is: http://wingchunkuen.com/
