Martial Arts!

[H4RUN]

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.

Done a bit of karate back in the day, not too keen on it now, feel as though it's not really for the streets if you ever need to use it, i mean generally speaking fights are over within seconds, and i doub very much you'll be going through the kata when your getting the 7 shades beaten out of you..and it takes alot of time and patience to master, so 'nuf respect to whoever is accomplished at karate...

Oh and bro or anyone else with proper karate experience, could you clear a lil something for me.. Are you allowed to hit the opponents face whilst sparring?

Peace b unto u all

Yes but you gotta understand that people are taking interest in some sort of combat for the reason taht they want to be and feel safe..

How many people actually go into competitions and so forth? The majority just learn it beacause one day they might have to utilise their skills, and they certainly aint gonna be doing this when theyre just casually walking in a deserted place...

It will mainly be a benefit for everyday life ie the streets, and for the streets in reality you dont need to know too much of this and that, like kata in karate, takes lot of time, u might just get mugg'd a few times in the years to which u think your skills are developed enough for you to tackle the muggers...

So in that sense, thinking for tomorrow rather than next year is more along what im thinking, know wat i mean.

And about thai boxin' being beaten, yeh corse mate, anything can be beaten. Thats why there's something called MMA and the UFC style, which is MMA in a way, All mixed, you do what is best for you from all the various different forms of combat, which goes back to the way how Bruce Lee thought and created JKD.

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

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

lol i have more strenght than i should for a girl. I onced punched my cousin in the chest for pushing me in the pool with all my clothes on and he couldnt breathe and before i became Muslim i use to fight alot of boys because the girls were too soft lol hilarious when i think about it now.

and the water thing i shall try...minus the bricks however, i kindda like my hands...in ONE piece;D

 

[.:Umniyah:.]

I haven't looked for a bag in some time now, but just came across a few...

This one is the longer ones, ideal for kickboxers, muay thai etc oh and ofcourse boxing...theres no mention of weight, but it looks pretty decent in weight...this should make u tired quik and going at a tenner http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BBE-Punch-Bag_W0QQitemZ260117515042QQihZ016QQcategoryZ30101QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

yeh i agree, thats why im saying that from the martial arts iv done, i feel thai boxing is the best for immediate results, and its practial and effective. i gained more from thai boxing in a year, then any of the others i have done in the same amount of time.

And its no fun without the tile bricks in the water. don't chicken out now

I am disappointed no one mentioned silat. I even heard there is a form of Shing-I Quan that is practiced only by Muslims. Does anyone know anything about the Muslim warrior arts?

 

[islamirama]

here's one that seems good for the ladies...

Aikido is a system of self defense based on relaxed coordination of mind and body, rather than strength. Although its primary aim is protection against physical attacks, the philosophy and technique of aikido can also be used to help deflect the stresses and strains of everyday life. At its gentlest, aikido helps you remain calm while having a pile of work to do; at its most strenuous, aikido is the art of dancing with a partner who is trying to kill you.

As a matter of fact i was thinking about mentioning that a few days ago, but i know very little about it, and have not seen it nor trained it...Just heard through my mate, who does this 'islamic martial art' as he put it...

I remember asking him what do i need to bring with me if i come? Mits? Hand wraps and boxing gloves...his reply was, we Muslims should be strong, we dont need any of that....YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN MATE!

I've already got a very vulnerable knuckle or two after i tried re-act what i saw on tv on how to hit harder than normal...Swing the arm continuously and then throw the punch...I tried it on a very light leather padded seat in the gym, well i didnt know it was light padded until i hit it ..I was jumping aorund like a kangaroo after i cracked it, oh yeh and it felt as if i cracked my hand aswel! I then thought i'd look again at the seat to see why it hurt so much...It was pure wood and metal under the VERY light padding:blind: :skeleton:

lol i refuse to take aikido toooooo soft!...im into all out action!!! screw tht mind body and soul stuff ;D no offense to anyone who take aikido...its just not my thing. TKD and MMA all the way! oh and thia boxing, and shoalin ( although shoalin is entirly to 'patient' for me , i dont like how they mostly fight defensivly rather than offensivly *shrug*)

First i was like nah, akhido ain't for me. but now that i think about it, i wouldn't mind taking it. It uses the oppenent's energy against him requireing you to use minimal amount of strenght and energy yourself. It's great thing to learn if your lazy or don't feel like doing too much action but still kick some butt

I should have added 'wait cant u see im trainin *Roundhouse kick on the bag* lol thing was he works there, so we were xpected to ask for things...i dunno wat kind this kung fu is, i guess the bro could explain a few more details on wing chun..

From the kicks that i saw, it was similar to what we done at muay thai boxin and kick boxing
