Daeval Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 believe me I would if I had more options but due to current geographical position I am somewhat limited in choice;dojo's currently identified:one TKD at a local sports high schoolaikidoquankidokendo(swordfighting)kyokushinshotokanthere are more but I don't know them yet...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Aikido rocks! If you have any interest in a defensive art like the one L.S.D. was talking about, Aikido should be right up your alley. There usually aren't full-contact competitions though, as many of the techniques would leave competitors with fractured hands and wrists, among other things. Although I did know a guy who took Aikido to some kind of contact level; not someone I had any interest in messing with. ;P And if TKD sounds good to you, just do it, dangit. If you find out you don't like it, you can always look elsewhere once you have a better idea of what it's like (and have maybe made some connections with people who know of other places to train, etc).

Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 I'm looking for something that can whip me into shape and turn me from a fat kid into a full-contact fighter and I don't care how tought the training is, it will be worth it; I can't seem to get in touch with that TKD dojo though bcuz I don't have any other info on it, no master's name no phone number no nothing... I was thinking of calling the INFO HOTLINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw two awesome match before.1. A guy kumite, standing on one leg while the other leg is ever ready to dish out damage.2. I saw a guy in a real competition who use his leg to block, then using the same leg to kick out devastatingly! This is the most awesome move I have ever seen. Keypoint is: SPEED! and experience (know your opponent's moves) Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyokugenKiss Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 any martial art can be deadly if depending on the person, im a practioner of hung gar/wing chun, and tai chi and they can all be applied to actual combat so i wouldn't say anything about juijitsu being supperior in any way, it just depends on the person using it. DONT THEY HAVE RUSSIAN SAMBO IN ROMANIA?!! thats a great style for actual combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 sambo? never heard of it...and TKD is my best solution I reckon bcuz Kapoeira would do alot o hand-standing and that's not my strong point....ACHOOO!!! But I wouldn't fight for Justice though, just for myself(that doesn't mean I won't help other though)the idea is I want real life combat with actuall teeth nockingI don't wanna learn TKD as a sport but rather as for full contact fighting...

KyokugenKiss Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Sambo is a russian martial art that takes all the aspects of japanese grappling and mixed with european style wrestling and boxing capoeira doesnt really have alot of handstanding, your mixing up the true style with what you've seen in video games, the hands are basically used to balance and its a relativly easy style to learn once you've mastered the Jenga (the rythym based movement/moving stance) I took it in highschool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
