Treebranch Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Which one of these martial arts is the most brutal and realistic. Please explain why. Which one would work better against any style. Just curious.

Treebranch Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 I guess nobody wants to talk about this, or not enough people are familiar with these styles?

Drunken Monkey Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 depends what you mean by realistic post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Treebranch Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 Realistic, meaning fighting or protecting yourself against an attacker that is trying to maim or kill you. An attacker with true intent on doing you harm, not someone challenging someone to a fight after school.

JerryLove Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Having been involvedin the local San Shou events here before.. and having played with some of the judges from said events... and having had some students participate... Our students are better fighters than what I have encountered at the San Shou tournament. I don't have enough exposure outside the tournaments to make a more general statement. https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 JerryLove, San Soo Jimmy Woo's Kung Fu San Soo not San Shou. These MA's always get confused, but are worlds apart. One is a Combat style (San Soo) the other is more of a Sport (San Shou).

JerryLove Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 My bad... In that case, I have no useful input due to a lack of experience with San Soo https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 Well sorry to hear that, I was looking forward to your thoughts. You always have some really good points to make. I want to check out a Silat studio if there's one close enough to me. I live near Los Angeles, do you know of any?
