Korean by Birth Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 I have been training in Krav Maga for four months and the school I go to has Akido and I have always loved this martial art. My question is should I train in a Full Contact style or a style with more technique? I want to do both.
Karateka_latino Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Do Both then. After a while you'll realize by yourself if you feel confortable doing that. If you Do, then its okay, if you don't, then stick with the style you like the most.
TJS Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Krav Maga and aikido have pretty diffrent approaches to things...it maybe difficult to combine them but definetly possible.
Pacificshore Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Krav Maga=Taking the battle to them Aikido=Bringing the battle to you 2 philosophies that couldn't be any farther from each other. It'll all depend on you as you train in each style . Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
Sens55 Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 If you have always liked Aikido, then by all means, take it. It certainly couldn't hurt anything....permanently anyway.
Korean by Birth Posted August 22, 2003 Author Posted August 22, 2003 Thank you I appreciate all the input.
massa Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 i wanna learn wing chun + another kung fu style , but i dont know what would be a good idea because the wing chun 99% frontal attacks , never attack, using a side of your body. i dont know if you got what im trying explain, maybe another wing chun can help me Help the world and I will help you
Drunken Monkey Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 wing chun takes a long time to master even the basics and it has some very idiosyncratic traits. i would suggest you concerntrate on just one style and get proficient in it before deciding on taking another. 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."
cross Posted August 23, 2003 Posted August 23, 2003 find which one you like best and try and stay with that.
kenpo4life Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 There really is no correct answer. Personally, I think that one should become really proficient in one art first as a base. You are not going to Pride or anything, so there is no need to try to duplicate their mentality in training. If my survival means your total destruction, then so be it.
