aznkarateboi Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 which style is more geared towards self defense? what are strengths and weaknesses? how do they compare?
TJS Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 kickboxing is a big word...it can mean alot of things..you would have to narrow it down.
Karateka_latino Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 Kickboxing as it is, its Just a sport. If you say, Muay Thai, then that can be consider as a kickboxing style with self defense use. strenghts: quick to learn, awesome conditioning, real contact training. Weaknesses: too sportive (limited to certain techniques), sometimes not even consider as a self defense art. Kung Fu. Strenghts: training and conditioning of all part of the body. Weaknesses: sometimes tends to be too flowerish and contains too many fancy techniques, too much into forms without applications, takes too many time to start using the techniques. Again, depends on the style.
Karateka_latino Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 Correction: i meant, depends on the TEACHER, not the style.
aznkarateboi Posted July 7, 2003 Author Posted July 7, 2003 i mean american kickboxing, not thai kickboxing
Treebranch Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 Kung Fu depending on what kind. "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"
Kyle-san Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 Kung Fu is a huge, general term that doesn't even specifically apply to martial arts. Kickboxing is another general term. That makes it kind of hard to compare and contrast, eh?
StoneSkin Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 I agree with Kyle-san, there are many types of Kung-Fu styles. Kickboxing is also a pretty General. Which Style of kickboxing? American Kickboxing. Muay Thai. Savate. Le boxing de francais. Im sure there are others just cant think of them.
