Martial Arts!

A stronger i.e physically bigger, taller muscular person will generally take more punishment as they have that extra padding. I know myself because I used to be about 69 kg and after going to the gym about a year I reached 77 kg and hits and/or hits to parts of the body that were not sensitive were not as painful as before. Try ripping a massive Tongan in the guts for example and hell laugh at you. So in the end it would be a matter of quickly wearing him down with a number of attacks aimed for maximum damage, as mentioned before nose, ears, solar plexus, groin e.t.c Joint breaking is a perfect way to disable a large person. No matter how much muscle you have you cannot strengthen joints. as there is no muscle where joint is. You can strengthen tendons and ligaments but not to the point were a full force arm lock won't work. Another tried and tested technnique in our martial arts school is a finger inserted just below the adams apple in a gap between the collarbone and the windpipe. If it can be done as it may prove difficult for some people to locate while trying to fend off an attacker, it can cause extreme discomfort and panic, so much so that the attacker will have No choice but to step back from you if you manage to hit the spot with a knife hand strike it will cause difficulty breathing but will not be fatal unlike a strike to the adams apple. :thumbs_up

actually it was meant to be a SPEAR HAND strike not a knif hand strike.

Where r u if you don't mind me asking sis?




Btw, punchbags are expensive so does anyone know how to make one at home? What would you put in it? And how much should it weigh? Please don't say put bricks in it.

Yep some can cost quite a bit, but any old ragged one will do for starters:) So long as it's not torn, because then you'll have to tape it up, and basically do punch bag surgery on it lol. I think best bet is to look for a used one on ebay, you dont want one thats too heavy, i'd recommend the heavy ones for bigger people, who have quite a bit of strength and stamina. If it's too heavy for you, it may feel like punchin' a wall, too light and i dont know about anyone else but it cheeses me off a tad when you have to wait for the bag after it flys back and forth....

Personaly i like using one that is slightly weighted and controled, or sis you could always wear a pair of oven gloves and start punching the chappati flour bag:D

I bin learning thai boxing for some time, as well as shastar vidiya-which is an ancient weaponary fighting system, which many chinese and japanese systems stemed off from. It is a system which is imbedded into the sikh way of life, and is a must for evry practicing sikh, as order of the 10th Guru, Guru Gobind Singh jee. Any one wants videos of this, let me knw.

Muay thai is top notch so long as you get taught to move around as boxers are taught, which is why i left it. So does that mean all of the proper practicin' Sikh's are accomplished in martial arts? Only used with weapons or can it be just the fists elbows and legs?

that is interesting know, i would like to know more about these videos if you don't mind :)
 
shastar vidiya was the main system of bak in the day. they say it originates from the old hindu prophets, which is 1000s of years old. however alot of the system has been lost over the years. even the mughal armies where taught with this system. however, Guru Sahib made it a compulsion for evry sikh to practice, it is a deadly combination with spirituallity, meditation. Guru Sahib knew the power that could be developed between the two, and created a system for war, which allowed one man to fite against thousands. history also records this. in india, and parts of punjab, there are the sikhs known as nihang sikhs. they fully practice the martial way of life, and have alot of the original shastar vidiya. however, in UK we are mainly taught weaponary, tulwars, khanda (double edged sword), spears, lathis (staff) etc. il post a mix tape made by some guys in canada. ignor the music. the starting of the video is movement done in order to prepare mentally before piking up the weapon. it get agility, and basic footwork ready. Once the shastar (weapon) is piked up, it is used in accordance to full body movement. it allows the 10th Gurus battle system to be put into practice, that a sikh will never do a cheap shot, and attack from behind, and will never initiate the attack, even on the battle field. there are account from mughal generals that state the beauty of Guru Sahibs army, that there where sikhs on the battle field that where even bandaging, and giving water to the wounded "enemy". The art is incorperated into the first principle of sikhi, compassion. Sikhs have no enemies, however when all peacefull means of restoring justice have failed, it is lawful to draw the sword, as spoken by the 10th master. both practicing sikh men and women practice this art. rite to the video. by the way, there is tons which i havent wrote about, and forgive me if i have gon on a tangent!

Thanks dude, i'll check that out when i get off work. It seems sikhism has lot in common with Islam. If i'm not wrong i've heard that the original sikh, or the guru father of all sikh was himself either Muslim or very inspired by Islamic principles.
 
na Guru Nanak jees dad was a hindu, but 2 begin with, he was very anti religion, he wanted Guru Sahib to become a business man, but mahraaj had a different purpose to his life. There are many principles Sikhi has that is common in many religions, Sikhi is generally based around principles of humanity, whether ur religious or not, theirs always something to gain. this is the outlook sikhs should have in everyone else aswel, not look for bad, but look for good in everything. There are muslim people who where very close companians of the Gurus, and even some teachings of muslim sheiks have been included by the Gurus in the Guru Granth Sahib jee. This was a very clever thing done by the Gurus, as it promotes equality of the human race, no matter what you belong to.
 
Salamualikum.
Chiiiii Chawwwwwwwwwwwww Chingggggggg *Martialaw* is the best but can't bean 'Chineese blud'

not good enough. The idea of a punching back is to build strength. one normal punch on that bag would mean one hard punch on a person, who is softer than the bag. You would do better to start on the rice or flour bag :)

unless you got tomboy attributes, i don't think your little punches can punch any holes and waste food :D

another good idea then is the good old traditional chinese ways. Either find a pouch to fill with water and punch that, or fill a bucket of water and squat over it then punch into the bucket. Normally chinese have a few tile bricks in the bottom of the bucket, the idea is to punch thru the water and break those tiles. It helps build streangth and force in your strikes :)

I think i'll join Japan karate association in here locally :)

Practices are generally broken down into three parts: kihon, kata, and kumite.


Kihon consists of basic techniques. This includes punches, kicks, strikes, and stances. Here, the practitioner learns how to properly perform the techniques that make up Shotokan karate.

Kata are pre-arranged forms. They take what a student has learned in kihon and put it together into a routine where a student performs the movements against imaginary opponents. The kata get more difficult and involved as a student progresses through rank. The kata originated in Okinawa and have been passed down and changed through the generations.

Kumite is sparring done with a partner. Sparring ranges, depending on skill level, from pre-arranged basic three-point sparring to the more advanced free sparring. As well as practicing with the rest of the class, beginners are given time individually with senior students. It will take a beginner at least 3 months to get the first orange belt, after which each progressive rank will take a bit longer. It can take at least 4 years of continuous training to get the first black belt, but most likely takes longer.
