      When I get in a fight I never use what I learned, I usualy just use my boxing skills. Mostly because I'm to lazy to be doing flying hook kicks and stuff, so I just blast em in the nose a couple times then I'm done
      You smell like dookie... No really though.

        It's okay to mix peas and corn. But don't call it "porn".

          cris- that can be a very long conversation. i don't want to hijack this thread. and the topic could be highly volatile. some guys will defend their art to the death. others will always view certain arts derisively. so i can either pm you or i'll start a new thread. lemme know what you'd like me to do.

                  Crav Magraw? Personally i'd stay away from that one, but i'm biased.

                  I like brazillian jui jitsu because it has no forms, is easy to customize to yourself or situation, and you can practice it full speed on other people without neccicarily having to hurt them. It does teach all the stuff needed to finish a fight, but always puts you in a position of power so you can usually just get your opponent to submit.

                  But like i said i'm biased.

                      I studied a style called Ken-Shu-Khan Kempo for five years while in college, '94-'99. Now I practice it regularly when I have time. It's moves and disciplines are essentially 60% Okinawan, 20% Korean, and 20% Hawaiian in their influences and histories. Good martial art though...our philosophy is "Flow like water, Hit like steel."

                      My teacher also took various other forms such as Tae-Kwon-Do, Jeet Kune Do, Kung-Fu, Muay-Thai Kickboxing, Traditional Karate, and Boxing. He would routinely sprinkle in moves or techniques from some of these styles in with our daily lesson of Kempo.

                      I feel real lucky because not only was this guy my sensai, he has been a great friend of mine for several years now as well.

                        most of those "dances" were made up long before schools started opening up for profit. they're actually designed as a way to teach fundamentals and how to combine certain moves. any good form should be able to be broken down into easily applicable combinations or be seen as having merit on its own (strength training/flexibility/internal exercise).

                          LoL, All this talk about self-defense... If you REALLY are serious about defending yourself, learn to shoot a gun, and get yourself a concealed pistol liscence :P

                          ...i know I plan to.

                            It's all well and good, i'm not going to tell you not to get it, but you can be disarmed, and you can't realy take it everywhere. Besides there's more to martial arts than self defense. It's also dicipline and conditioning. More importantly these are far less likely to be leathal. This is a good thing.

                              im well aware of that, the thing is if i want strength training ill life weights, i have no need for more flexibility, and internal exercise, i have no idea what the hell that is but it sounds painful. theyre moves that are useless in real world situations. besides, i cant dance

                              my brother says this is a good one for those same reasons.
