Any one practice martial arts?

Just one argument about the gun issue again. I'd say 99% of the people will not squeeze the trigger when up close, especially the guy trying to take your wallet or rob your car. He just wants your shit and to get the hell out of there. And like these guys stated, you hesitate and it'll be too late.

I wouldn't bet my life on that...... Would you? You could find yourself in the 1% situation. More people have been killed by guns than some chop to the throat.

Me personally i would just say bro here's my money and my car. Fuck it, they don't mean shit anyway. Now if he wanted to fuck w/ family, friend, or my girl i'll be Mr.Billy Bad Ass especially if i'm close to the guy. Most people i know feel the same way. But then again there are those people, and i know a few of them, that go to these Aikedo classes and go to bars on weekends looking for fights, those are the psycho billy bad asses that will try to take the gun at any given opportunity just b/c they like to send send people to the ICU.

i've been taken martial arts (taekwondo) for the last 11 years. i've been weight training for the last 3 years. the weight training affects my martial arts because i am not as flexible as i used to be. as far as street fighting, if you use what you know (from any style) i'm sure you can apply it in a street fight ...i've never been in a fight before (except a few with my brother) but i could apply my 11 years of taekwondo training to beat the living shit out of anyone!!

for about 4 months i took wing chun, a style that was actually developed by a women ( i believe). this is the style that bruce lee mastered before the creation of jeet kun do. it is probably the most applicable style to bring to the street. it involved severe speed and moving the fight in close. out of 4 months, before i developed elbow tendonitis (from drilling with speed punches),

Yes, women can do martial arts to. If you got tendonitis from your chain punches, I'm sorry but then you were doing them wrong.
Wing Chun is shit for the street...it relys on intial contact to get the "stick" and that hardly ever happens. Plus there's no groundwork !!! Fighting in a phonebox, maybe you'd stand a chance.....

To qualify myself, I do: Wing Chun, Mantis, JKD, Wushu. Have looked at TKD, Karate, Juijitsu, Aikido, T'ai Chi, Thai, Boxing, Choy Li, 5 animals, and more.

Martial Arts should not prevent you from being a good body builder. If the extra exersize is making you loose weight then EAT MORE. You can be large, fast, and flexible. Anyone who says otherwise is just jealous. Van damme can do the splits. Tyson can hit quick. Neither man is small.

Final bit, yeah martial arts is relevant on the street, but without the will to win/survive it's about as good as wet loo-roll.

Can't forget that Tom Platz, the quad master, during his prime could do full splits.

Superbabe, if you added Thai and Ju-jitsu to your "I do" list, I'd be in love

 

[Superbabe]

Thaibox....they're on the list (just not my regular thang.....) and I also enjoy arm wrestling (good solid fun).

rissybizz007, d'you mean aiku jitsu (poor spelling, I know...)

why are you apologizing like you're correcting me about chain punches/ i didn't say it was the fault of the form. Did i run out yelling "wing chun sucks. it's bad because 4 out 5 dentists say it gives you tendonitis!" no. i just said that i happened to develop tendonitis. so what. it was just a statement to qualify my having to stop studying for a while.

and when i stated that wing chun was developed by a woman, you jump all in and are all like "yeah, yer damn right women do martial arts!" lighten up.

 

[Superbabe]

yo 18echo...I am sorry for anyone with tendontitis...it's a bitch, I get it myself (in my ankles of all places...f**king ballet).

Regarding wing chun, why does everyone feel it necessary to mention it was started by a women? It's no biggie, but every time I see wing chun it's "hey guess what, a women thought it up".

Specifically tho, doing chain punches wrong is a common cause of tendonitis and/or other elbow ailments.

does Aikido have to be done bare footed?
