Martial Arts!

[Snowflake]

Baaji dvd is good depending on who it teaching but nothing like actually training with an martial arts instructor in a gym. I mean if you can practice from t hose aerobics showns on tele then you can learn from a vid.

You've got a point there chote bhai. I see how it can work by making a person familiar with the moves etc. I'd def give it a go now.

I dunno i just see what he does and work at it for days and days at a time...practise my footwork kicks and punches and learn alll my stances and forms and stuff...i cant say properly but i learned it best to what i could do without a teacher mashaaAllah....but naturally nothing is better than an actually sensai (sp?) and yes fighting someone helps too ...you cant spar alone

MashaAllah. I admire that sis. Seeing other sisters making the effort really inspires me to do the same. Don't give up. I love what you're doing.

What kind of stuff does karate do? i dont know much about karate...

I think it's when they break slabs and stuff with karate chops or head butts? :? If that's karate, I don't wanna know lol.


Anyone ever tried nonchakus? lol painful!

 

[.:Umniyah:.]

MashaaAllah. InshaaAllah i'll try. And you try too InshaaAllah.
and nope i never started fighting with weps. want to tho...have you?

inshaAllah

well my bro used to use nunchukas and I tried learning from him. But I hit myself a few times and it put me off lol. What kind of weapons would you like to try?

I'm also fascinated with how pressure points can be used to knock someone out or even kill them. I dunno which form of martials arts that comes in. But I guess it must be for the advanced pupils only.

Btw, can you recommend some vids for me sis?

Wow that mustve hurt bad! ive fiddled around with those things before and hit myself aswell but it was never for training or anything just mere amusement. I wasnt so amused afterwards :rollseyes

I found it surprisingly amusing the fact that pakistan is in first place in Asia in these competitions, you sure don't see that on western media

I know a great deal about maritial arts, grew up watching old traditional chinese maritial arts movies. I also have nanchaku but can't use it much except swing it from side to side like crazy

Inshallah i like to learn one day though. Personal interests are

Bushido (sword fight)
Jeet Kun Do (close range hand to hand invented by Bruce Lee)
Ji-Jutso (preferrably Brazilian as that is the best and most brutual/intense)
Shaolin Kung Fu (based on 5 animals, really good if you don't go to some smuck)
Kenjutsu (samurai's sword art)

I guess that's all for now

In taekwondo you have to break pieces of wood by kicking them- it is so easy, and you feel awesome knowing you can do it!

I gave up before I learnt anything that I can share with you. Nunchukas didn't appeal to me very much. It was more a fun thing really. But how do you defend yourself without having to fight sis?

Another question is that why does the mind goes blank sometimes in a fight and you can't recall some moments afterwards. That's pretty scary cuz it happened to me once.

P.S. Tnx for the link sis & Islamirama bro. All these diff forms of martial arts are starting to confuse me though.

Hehe! What about with your hands? Sounds painful. I think I'd only try that with polystyrene boards lol.

 

[islamirama]

The only thing know about throwing punches is that we should curl our thumb over our fingers as keeping it straight would break it. Got anymore tips bro?

puttg thumb on fingures also enforces a tighter control and more powerful punch. Best practices for girls are think are "hot spot" hits. Open palm jab to the chin, nose, ear slap/cupping to bothsides, thumb jam in eyes, knucle punch or karate chop or fist to the thorat, soccer kick to the groin. Unless you were very good in your fighting or great strenght, other moves won't help much.

One move is when someone grabs hand/fore-arm and don't let go is you twist their thumb back sliding it up against their hand. The sensei demonstrated that one but he kept going back and i was look, nope can't hurt me, try another move (or teach ladies another move)

 

[Keltoi]

I've been involved with martial arts one way or another since I was 6 years old, primarily Karate but also a little Judo. Did alot of tournament fighting in my younger days. Still keep it up a little, mainly just to keep in shape. I've found that kickboxing is probably the best discipline to get into if one wants to get into good overall shape.

 

[abu abdurrahman]

I've realy been into watching MMA for quite a while now, keep up to date with the latest match-up's. :thumbs_up

I love jujitsu...

haven't taken a step to go classes or anything like that but i would love to.

At the moment just grapple loads with my brother on the living room floor, doing submission moves on each other.

Currently nursing a bruised nose, sore shoulder, strained thigh and stiff neck... :exhausted

So yeah... going good, MashaAllah :rollseyes

 

[Malaikah]

I wouldn't try that.:X My arms are way to weak plus taekwondo focuses more in kicking than arm moves and stuff.

My bro showed me the thumb twist recently (I think he'd been to ju jistsu classes) and it was good move. He also showed me how to grab someone's neck from behind and push their head down with your other hand - this will make them pass out. Personally, I'd be too worried about breaking someone's neck in the process.

When you say, thumb jam, do you mean, you have to jab their eyes really hard quickly, or press on them constantly? And also how does the ear slapping cause pain to someone. It sounds really mild :?

Mainly kicking sounds good enough, especially as you don't have to be very close to your opponent. That's gotta be safer than being too close to them and giving them the chance to hit you. :thumbs_up

I used to have a lot of strength in my arms, but I guess I derived that from my mind, can't explain how though. But I've noticed that I'm a lot weaker now and start shaking if I use too much force - in DIY! lol. I feel I'm turning into a weak and pathetic little female and I hate it. :'(


My question:
If you're faced with an attacker, what is very first best move to hurt them before they attack you? Strangely since I've become more islamic, I find it hard to be aggressive. But I don't wanna lose my 'touch' if you know what I mean.

The throat is always a good spot. Right around the Adam's Apple. I'm speaking from experience here, so I know it works very well. I was on the receiving end too.

How much force should one use? That's the part I find difficult to grasp. I'd hate to hurt someone more than necessary. I mean what if I killed them? hew

That is sort of hard to answer. Hard to express levels of pressure with a keyboard. I guess I would say hard enough to make sure the only thing your attacker is worried about is breathing again. A straight punch or ridge hand to the throat probably isn't going to kill anybody, although they will feel like they are dying for a minute or two.

 

[Keltoi]

Yeah, I think those really loud siren devices for women are a good thing. That shrieking noise is usually enough to scare attackers away, especially in an urban area.

Kewl thread...Adam's apple area...you dont have to hit hard there for the person to feel pain, just try it on yourself now...just merely flick your throat with your finger... now imagine somebody punching it straight on NICEEE..

It's only the matter of getting your chance to hit that area if you ever have to...a sweet shot in the kidney area or solar plexus, watch them put there head forward and then KPOW catch them on the chin watch them fall down like a sack of potatoes

 

[H4RUN]

Anyone ever tried nonchakus? lol painful!

These things are awesome:coolious: i've tried them, had them, hit myself, hit myself again....oh and again, gained skill, hit myself again, gained more skill, got hit again...and then they broke:raging: They were made out of cheap wood from what i saw...i wana get metal ones now i think i should look for a helmet aswel

For one of the best demonstrations on the use of nunchuks/nunchuku watch Bruce Lee use them masterfuly! Sweeeeet
