Crosstraining and multiple attackers.


Recommended Posts

Crosstraining... There is a contant argument that people who only stick to one style of martial arts are simply cheating themselves and are not serious martial artists.

 

I wouldn't go so far as to make the statement above myself, but i do think crosstraining is a wise move when it comes to serious self-defense.

 

Crosstraining can also be good if u r faced with multiple attackers. if u trained simply in a grappling art the chances are that if u take one guy to the ground or lock him up, the other guy is gonna smack u in the head. Conversely if u only train in a striking art and come across a better striker than u then u might be wishing that u had done some grappling.

 

It's a bit of a vague topic but open for discussion nonetheless. :up:

um.... well i would change the moves a bit if i didnt like it or if it was confusing i always do that but the problem is when you are in class and your teacher is telling you how to do it the right way!!! I hate that!!!

when you do your best it`s going to show.

U don't have to fight in one style dude, u integrate them all and turn them into your own unique style. I stand like a kickboxer sometimes, but other times i have a low guard and still fight like a kickboxer. I might do jiujitsu moves from a kickboxer's pose, it's all different stuff.

Um.... i don't really have a BASE BASE BASE style. I've done Zendokai karate, BJJ, Freestyle Kickboxing, Goju Ryu Karate, HapKiDo, Wushu, Boxing... i think that's all.

 

I try to base myself on the HapKiDo teachings (cos it's a pretty well rounded martial art) but i'd say i'm more of a freestyle kickboxer. I'm currently back at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu though, cos i love grappling.

It takes sacrifice to be the best.


There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.

Absolutely Bon... strikers generally have a hard time against grapplers, so if u can't beat 'em, join 'em!
