Icetuete Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 i'm looking for a specific martial art... i tell u about it: it has kicks, strikes, a few throws and joints locks is well (maybe not perfect) for self defense and a very good workout to stay/get into shape. weapon training, if any, concentrates on one or two weapons. what weapons is not important. any ideas?

SBN Doug Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 KSW = Kuk Sool Won But we and Hapkido both have a lot more than just a few throws. We also have quite a few weapons, but you only learn a couple to start. Some TKD schools have those qualities. Aikido, Hwa Rang Do, even some Karates have that kind of diversity, but I'm not familiar with their exact names. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.

Tibby Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 That sounds like both the martial arts I take, lol. Jujitsu and Isshinryu Karate. Isshinryu’s throw are infact not prefect, they focus mostly on strikes and kicks. Most Martial Arts have weapons training of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icetuete Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 what does infact and prefect throws mean? i am no grappler u know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibby Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Well, let me give you an example. In Issh, I learns a move called the Soto Makikomi, which looks like this: http://www.judoinfo.com/images/animations/sotomaki.gif The Issh version, you wrap around, till they lose or weaken their grip, and start hitting. It works if there grip isn’t strong. The don’t send them to the ground, and you don’t really get your body right next to the attacker, both things that make the move descent. And either way, you pull them close to you so you can hit closer. But, as you can see from the Judo pic, it is a little different. First day in Jujitsu, I tried, that, didn’t quite work to well.

Tal Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 this is my first post here, so, hello people Icetuete, what you are describing could be almost anything. to me it sounds like ryukyu kempo or some early form of karate. ryukyu kempo has a lot of karate type strikes, many of which sort of flow into throws and/or joint locks. it also involves some improvised weapons such as bo, nunchaku and tonfa. shotokan karate nidanjujitsu shodankendo shodan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icetuete Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 Icetuete, what you are describing could be almost anything. yeah, kind of... that makes things more difficult for me as well i was talking about some japanese style if that helps. focuss on strikes and kicks more than throws and joint locks. i am not sure but i think there wasnt even any kata... but i am really not sure.

Icetuete Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 what i forgot to mention, one of the weapons (the only weapon?) it involves is a staff and dealing with multiple enemys is part of the training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
