Martial Artists UNITE!!!!

[Vampirekain]

I am a martial artists for years (although I stopped for the past 2 years due to arm surgery! Im in a restoration program) and seriously I love it!! I love seeing the world with a different eye and with many possibilities! I like how fear itself is a different thing to my eyes after I started doing martial arts! I want all of you brave souls to post here about experiences you had...Injuries during your sparring,what art are you learning/learned and generally anything related to martial arts that you can think of!

I've been doing Pangration (Ancient Greek art) and its also one of the deadliest martial arts in the world for the very reason that it focuses on breaking the opponents neck/limbs/sides etc etc. That's where I dislocated my arm for the first time and then I had major problems with it and had to undergo surgery! Other than the risk involved though its a great experience and has saved me from quite a number of situations back in high school and outside of it in the streets of my city! (Turn at the wrong turn and you might get mugged by thugs!) I also know Kung Fu/Ju Jitsu and a bit of Kendo! I even got a katana resting 10 feet away from me as I speak Anyone else having weapons like swords/knives/bows etc etc?

I used to do Kempo, my mom got pregnant which forced me to stop, and I just fell out of the loop permanently, I tried to get in again but it didn't appeal to me anymore.

To tell you the truth, I've only learned how to escape from people when the grab me [unless the grab my hand with my watch, I don't move suddenly in fear that I might break it] other than that, nothing much. I've never ben injuried in my 3-4 years doing Kempo either, actually I've never been seriously injuried in my entire life [other than that one time where I got hit on my head so hard it bled].

My twin bro and me took Shinto-Ryu karate while my dad was stationed in Japan for like 4 years. Check it, it's basically grappling, submission moves, and karate kid stuff. Greatest years of my life baby!

Lets see.....my boy Shade entered in martial art form tournaments while I "Da Alphamale of Alphamales" took names and kicked a. s. and ya know the rest in competition tournaments. Good stuff.

 

[pdk]

i took this (just think of it as taekwondo for rebels without a cause ; ) for around 6 months in 2004 and stopped for some reason i don't recall, got back into the loop just yesterday though so it's all good

i have 2 katanas,that thing that jet li uses in fearless with the 3 parts(4got name), and a rock solid stick that is about the same size as darth mauls double sided lightsaber.

 

[pdk]

if there's one thing that makes pangration awesome it's that you have this guy for a mentor:

 

[Vampirekain]

Pangration is deathlocks only But a nice look alike of my tutor!! /cower
C@sh a nice collection there! *_* I also forgot that I know some stuff 'bout kick boxing as well! Oh and Exodus...Can you tell me what Kempo is? Never heard of it $_$

 

[C@sH Mooney]

There are several types of "Kempo" martail art styles. Kokusai kempo,Nippon Kempo, and Shorinji Kempo.

Kokusai kempo-Founded By Master Ueki and came as a form of Kung Fu, The focus of Kokusai Kempo is free style situational defense as opposed to Shorenji's formatted situation defense.

Nippon Kempo-This is a Japanese Martial Art that engages in full-contact bouts using a full range of techniques wearing specially developed protective gear.Developed in 1932 by Muneomi Sawayama the art places an equal emphasis on striking techniques using hands and feet, immobilization and controls, projections and take-downs. Nippon Kempo is a defensive art that does not restrict students in methodology

Shorinji Kempo-I dont know much about this 1 but i do kno Shorinji Kempo teaches a wide variety of techniques, ranging from goho (hard techniques) such as kicks and punches, juho (soft techniques) such as grappling and throwing, to seiho (correcting methods) acupressure techniques for revival of unconscious persons. These three types of techniques are further divided into kogi (offensive techniques), bogi (defensive techniques), shuho (defence methods, mainly against soft techniques), tai gamae (body position), sokui ho (foot position), umpo ho (footwork), and tai sabaki (body movement).Hokei is practiced either in isolated form, or during randori (free fighting, a more literal translation being "to bring Chaos under order", which is philosophically rather different to simply fighting for its own sake).

The relationship between technique, hokei and randori is similar to that of the relationship between words, sentences and essays. A word forms the basis of the sentence, just like the technique forms the basis of hokei. The sentence forms the basis of the essay, just like hokei forms the basis of randori. In order to master the art of writing good essays, one must first have a good vocabulary (words), and how you put them together to form sentences that conveys meaning. Similarly, in order to master the art of randori, one must know how to perform techniques, and how to put them together into hokei.

ehm im not into 1 particular style of fighting like karate,kempo, or wrestling. but i like Genki Sudo's style. He's a very tricky/unorthodox/smart martial artist . ithink u guys would like him, at least better than that kunfu guy posted by smashplayer16

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7XbzXBB1uc (he may seem weird at first but its good, trust me!)

hes not good at all.and He was very off target.and his method of fighting is very childish.

 

[Strider.Mars]

how could you say genki isn't good? He has a pretty good mma rec and he even managed to beat royler gracie, a respectable bjj fighter, in an mma match. he also beat butterbean (the boxer) who greatly outweighed him. In regard to his method, its meant to distract the enemy, which worked particularly well vs ufc fighters who didnt see him fight in other fight organizations (like k-1)

butterbean won by methods of USA pro boxxing because of his size and wieght.otherwis hed be nothing.roylear gracie lost b4.he isnt the best,and this fighter isnt either.

 

[Strider.Mars]

ill agree with you that genki is not the best. But you dont have to be the best to be considered "good" or even a legend. Genki has indeed fought against and won (and lost) vs some of the "best" (since k-1 fighters are no joke, even butterbean, you must agree butterbean is decent at what he does beating other heavyweight champs, he even has some submission skills not just brute force) However your defintion of "good" just might be above my expectations. What puzzles me is if he isnt "good" are there any kempo practitioners that are "good"?. Cuz Last time i checked mma fighters are better at winning vale tudo matches than pure kempo fighters, and Genki is considered by many critics to be a "good" mma fighter (even in striking-only matches)

your reply to this message may be "he's not anything special" Genki IS special becausemany regard him as one of the best unorthodox fighters.

if u still think genki isnt any good please tell me who is. and please say someone who has actual mma fights (not point scoring fights or demos)

 

[trademark0013]

my experience would be at a jiu jitsu demonstration. they gave us partners and exercises to try. me and my partner AKA friend ended up just wrestling, then ppl were taking turns. I went against a 2nd year Jiu jitsu student. he was a good match. i slammed him and went for an armlock i learned earlier, but messed up. he rolled out and got me in an armbar. they called the match even tho i didnt tap. lol. there wasnt any striking or anything so it wasnt serious, but it was fun. i went to a few more jiu jitsu demos. i'm hoping the teach it at my college

ok.my brother that u have never heard of b4.thats who.and ive learned ur "unorthodox" way of fighting is very off balance and has many weak points.and btw kempo is bad i was showing some1 all the styles so dont push ur luck.and the fact i can master that "unorthodox" style ur talking about in less then 2 years if i wanted 2.

 

[Vampirekain]

I didn't like Strider's video as well And I didn't like kempo that much to be honest! But it's nice to learn something different I'll try and find a video of a famous Greek kick boxer against a Turkish one! That match was very nice! /drool I'll do some searching and I'll link it here.


Got it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZJfvQcZ8m8

 

[Strider.Mars]

ok.... i guess since only 1 person so far (me) likes him, i can realize the fact that he isnt so good. But just curious, does anyone on this thread like him at all?

 

[trademark0013]

i have no reason to DIS-like him.. so i guess...

 

[Vampirekain]

Well you can't say he's bad...But you can't say that he's top notch either!! He's alright! If you're into heavy fighting like Kick boxing watch my link to youtube a couple of posts above this one! And you can youtube other matches of Mike Zambidis as well! He's very good :D

My twin bro and me took Shinto-Ryu karate while my dad was stationed in Japan for like 4 years. Check it, it's basically grappling, submission moves, and karate kid stuff. Greatest years of my life baby!

Lets see.....my boy Shade entered in martial art form tournaments while I "Da Alphamale of Alphamales" took names and kicked a. s. and ya know the rest in competition tournaments. Good stuff.

^^Yep yep, what he said. Also, we've been in plenty of street fights so we have lots of experience in real life situations. Plus, we're first degree black belts.

I never had a close encounter with a person with a gun though, like Orion did. Did I mention that he got shot by this one dude 4 times? After he was done, Orion put an armbar on him, broke his arm, and went to the hospital on his own power! Maybe because he didn't get shot in his vital organs, or he's just super tough!!

So Orion, do you wanna spar later? Y'know, after you get out of class? I have this killer manuver I wanna test out.

 

[Vampirekain]

He got shot 4 times? After that he still managed to break the dudes arm? AND he got to the hospital after that? A bit hard to believe but I guess its not utterly impossible! Well my real life situations would be lots of street fights with some bullies from high school (They didn't know I knew martial arts)And a couple of times I got attacked by some chinese guys with knives! I didn't allow myself to be stabbed though! No experience with guns like handgun etc etc whatsoever.

Once I let instinct take over, I'm unstoppable cuz! Please, a little pricky gun like a magnum can't stop me! I'm an Alphamale and the man upstairs gots my back.

The gun shot wounds stung like hell, but when wanna live to see another day that badly, you'll do anything, and I mean anything!

I was half-asleep when I got to the hospital cuz.

 

[Vampirekain]

Orion, no offense man but should someone shot somebody with a magnum...The part that you'd been shot at will actually be completely destroyed! And if you say you got shot 4 times...Sorry but it doesn't seem realistic at all! I'm studying in medical fields by the way and I can really tell you that if somebody shoots you with a magnum 4 times you will probably have no torso anymore! If you got indeed shot at (which you probably did I don't doubt your sayings) it MUST have been a light handgun for you to actually move and not die by internal or external bleeding.
