Member yojimbo Posted January 31, 2014 Member Share Posted January 31, 2014 Is there a purpose to the rigidity of karate? I've always wondered why it looks more solid and set in its ways than so many other martial arts. I recall reading that the writer of the particular book I was reading said that the short stocky Okinawan farmers couldn't do the fluid movements of kung fu and modified them. Kyokushin takes it to the next level and emphasizes direct hits and attacks. Shorinji Kempo is more fluid than other Japanese martial arts as you advance and shows its kung fu roots.

Member yojimbo Posted January 31, 2014 Member Share Posted January 31, 2014 Thats what I'm talkin about John thats all I wanted was a little feedback on it. I agree he does go on hella tangent (always does). I think he's borderline crazy. (huh ha borderline). There is no denying his knowledge as a trainer though the guy has many champions be them mma and bjj champs. Visit his site. It is just as scatter brained as the vid. Also, there has been a lot of drama regarding his school, students, and business practices. Don't know if his knowledge as a trainer is as good as people think it is. Talent people flock to his school because of it's reputation. He pays for talented students to train and go to tournaments to win medals. This in return others promising students. He claims a lot of wins and awards and trophies. However, few have been verified. I'm rather disappointed that so many martial arts teachers claim to be masters. And even use hokey titles such as supreme grand master. It goes against the spirit of martial arts and what some of them preach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member yojimbo Posted January 31, 2014 Member Share Posted January 31, 2014 So, is Jeet June Do considered an actual martial art? I know very little about it and always thought it was more of a mentality towards combat. Maybe some others can chime in on this because I've seen them advertise for teaching Jeet Kun Do. But it sort of goes against the things Bruce Lee talked about. He didn't stick to one particular style. He studies Wing Chun, then moved on to anything that would work. Like judo, wrestling, etc. He didn't blindly follow the notion his particular style was the best. He was willing to learn from other styles and find what worked. However I always though the essence of Jeet Kun Do was take what works and discard the rest. From anything you come across. Don't get hung up on special moves, kicks, and forms. Find what works for you and move on. Except for things that he wrote and drew. I didn't see a formalized program. Some of this was collected in the book Tao of Jeet Kun Do.

Member Secret Executioner Posted February 17, 2014 Member Share Posted February 17, 2014 Today, I started "training" using a really nice book I found some time ago. It explains a couple of taos from each of various styles such as Changquan (which seems to be a form of Shaolin boxing), Hung Gar, Northern Mantis (AKA Tang Lang Pai or Tong Long Moon) and Drunken fist (Zuijiuquan) - to name the styles I plan to work on (there must be about a dozen styles overall) - and the taos are described using text telling you what to do and illustrations showing what the moves should look like. Also, you get a backstory and details on the styles. Really cool book and I hope I'll be able to learn well from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted February 24, 2014 Member Share Posted February 24, 2014 I think this is awesome. An example of how traditional Wing Chun can be truly effective in a combat situation. I'm not sure how this fight came about but it's a full contact bout (no pads, gloves or head guards) between a Wing Chun student and a Karate student. And...well...it's quite amazing... 0j_Cnddke84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member yojimbo Posted March 18, 2014 Member Share Posted March 18, 2014 Enjoyed the footage of Sambo. The matches sort of remind me of the UFC fights minus the ring and better stag/flooring. The person cleaning up the blood after one of the matches reminded me of Bloodsport. I wonder what type of kicks they teach if any. One of the fights, it looked like one those crazy Kyokushin windmill kicks. Really liked the one with all the different takedowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member BaronK Posted March 18, 2014 Author Member Share Posted March 18, 2014 Kicks and punches in sambo are your boxing, kickboxing type. There is straight sambo, which is strongly based in judo and russian wrestling. It has those judo throws but uses more strength and power as opposed to the purer technique of J judo. It is also very heavily based on leg, ankle and foot locks. Combat sambo is the one with the punches and kicks. It was patterned for the military. Both have competitions but there is no gear needed for straight sambo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambo_(martial_art) Sambo: Combat sambo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member yojimbo Posted March 19, 2014 Member Share Posted March 19, 2014 Read up on Sambo before so I knew about the origins. Every time I have to give a quick description of what Sambo is. I usually tell them it is the Russian national sport that is a mix of judo and wrestling. Besides watching Fedor fight, I haven't watch much sambo videos. The Kyokushin style kick one of the guys did made me wonder what type of kicks they teach and it was one of them. Sort of like Wing Chun having kicks but some instructors telling their students not to kick too high because it is a waste of energy. Lots of Russians in my area but strangely no Sambo schools.

Member Drunken Monk Posted June 4, 2014 Member Share Posted June 4, 2014 The guy in the second JKD video had some serious speed but I wanted to see him throwing those chain punches against a bag or some pads. It's all good and well being able to throw a million punches in a second but are they effective as far as strength is concerned? Do they feel like being slapped a bunch of times or are they concussive and powerful? With that said, he's exceptionally talented. I was really impressed.
