Do YOU do any Martial Arts?

I wasn’t even talking to you, mate. You’ve been off topic since you came into this thread.

But for the sake of it try to learn how to throw a straight punch and then try a roundhouse kick. See which one is easier to learn.

Maybe Frank Shamrock can explain it to him.

Not you again with your no contact karate ass

Stfu

unfortunetly pedophilia seems to be a really growing problem in martial arts. people i looked up to or knew have turned out to be pedos. gross humans.

But but punching people is the most natural thing in the world that is why I only do katas…

true story, back in my hometown there was a scandal at the karate school they had with one of the instructors being a kiddy diddler.

This guy went to singApore and not thailand thank god

I mean having guys prey on kids is some creepshow shit. I mean we try to vet and keep kids safe

But that’s why you go there and watch them. It is fucking gross of anybody to take advantage of a student.

I knew guys who got their dick grabbed by a wrestling coach

Fuck this guy. Fuck lloyd irving. Fuck anybody using their Authority to convince kids they would be the ones in trouble.

How can I be off topic on a topic I started? lol, so what exactly is your point of comparing a straight punch to a roundhouse how does that disprove what I’ve said?

At first, it was muh takedowns. Now it’s muh punches

He is the guy who suggested wing chun as the best method of self defense

A martial art comprised of really shitty defense and punching

And he also practices no contact karate and says aikido is practical

Like come the fuck on

Like he has no idea how fighting or real combat training actually goes

Punching IS natural.

Natural doesn’t mean good.

Nobody did. But, I’ll heed their advice over someone whose first instinct is to KO someone on PCP.

I would rather just avoid any lawsuits and arrests and just control a fucker with good grappling and top control

Most people would avoid lawsuits that way

I know what’s he’s saying, even though I don’t understand Korean. Universal language of kicking properly vs not.

He’s speaking Japanese. He’s actually Zainichi Korean (Japanese citizen of Korean heritage).

Sean Shemmel took a karate class and sounded like Goku lol.

Also, the karate school I attended in Hawaii emphasized more on punches and takedowns than on kicks…

Yeah, that will depend on the school and style. Some focus more on takedowns.

Kyokushin or any derivative thereof is a good place to start.

dont ever let your kid have a karate sleepover. or let the instructor sleep in the same room as your kid during a tournament by themselves. both these situations seem to have a high pedo ratio.

shit this girl i know whos in her 20s…accomplished competition martial artist got caught messing with some fucking 10 yr old last yr.

It’s not easy compared to other martial arts man, someone that can do other martial arts well can’t just become an incredible boxer.

Fights are chaotic and dealing with asphalt, no gloves, furniture, other people etc. almost anything you think know about martial arts is irrelevant. Kicks are particularly bad as you don’t want to lift your feet in a way you can lose balance and most clothes people wear on a day to day basis limit your flexibility a lot, not good for kicking.

Street fights are generally who hits first and who hits hardest and being able to punch well is big for that, it avoids potential hazards on the ground you might have to deal with if you take someone down and try submit them.

The best thing to do in a street fight is not get into one as they’re incredibly dangerous, they’re not sport and you can die or get permanently injured. If you have to you want to keep it simple, quick and to the point and being able to throw a fast, accurate combination with power is one of the most to the point ways of doing that.

I don’t wear clothes that I cannot do my strongest push kicks or low roundhouses in. My arms may be preoccupied, or injured (say, guarding my nephew when he’s with me, or defending against a weapon), and I may need to rely on low kicks or theeps to get away.

I just think your striking is to create distance and avoid the shit

Like i would rather pushkick and get out than really anything where you get sued
