Martial Arts?

[Snee]

Jeet Kun Do is supposedly one of the best.
Not as much form and stances as the others, just a continuous flow, like.

I've watched people train, it is rather impressive. The instructor was one of Bruce Lee's students. An American chap who was touring if memory serves. Not Bruce Lee obviously, the instructor.

/me gets technical

The style Bruce Lee learnt was Wing Chun, which he evolved into Jeet Kun Do.

Wing Chun's pretty straight forward, no high kicks, pretty good if all you want to do is fight well instead of look pretty. There's nothing wrong with a stiff knee in the balls.

you were talking about kicking and actual fighting - well, if i can deviate from "martial arts" i'd recomend you some "modern" arts :-) - K1 (pride) - a lot of kicking and boxing and other things BTW, i'd never try it - too damn crazy!

I remember growing up and meeting a young fellow who was a master at Savate a French foot boxing style . It always made me curious as no one taught it where I lived . We fought with our feet as kids ,little pointy shoes to inflict the most damage .


Mind you the best fighter in our group was this little kid with the head the size of a watermellon , the old coco bonk was a killer .

Muay thai shows that small guys can do shit loads of damage.
Keep watching it through the first minute to see it in action.

if you get the chance to watch someone really good at savate work out, do, it's flat out insane. Tae Kwon Do is not just fancy kicks. it was originally created as a self defense art to help a little territory in Korea defend it's self from invaders. since then however, it has been morphed into a glitzy useless compition art filled with fancy jumping spinning kicks that look really fancy until you see someone try one in an actual fight and get creamed. It was and still can be a good self defense art, although it depends on who is teaching it and what their purpose is. I did Tae Kwon Do for 8 years, my instructer was pretty much nothing but self defense untill right up before I left, the empasis on the fancy stuff is a big reason that I left. Compition TKD is more common, and all it really is is fancy kicks that are useless in real combat. it was funny to see the people from my school rip up the compition people when we first started going to sparing tornements. I have a friend that is big into wing chung, for a while he was working out like five hours a day or more. he does things like hit sandbags with his hands to build up calcium in his hands (known as heavy hand) so that he can hit harder.
