Hells yea it would, I found out my master doesn't teach at the school anymore so I'm gonna have to find a way to get to his house. My mom said he does still live here in the town I live (he and my mom are good friends that's how I initially met him). Yea I have to agree with you the competitive teachings without honor alls you've got is just a bunch of sore losers. I mean it's just sparring, in a way it is a good way to figure out what areas one would need to improve but it seems all the ppl in my class just take their losses too personal and whine about it. It's disgusting. Absolutely! The more of a different style you can see the better the strategy you can build to win. MMA pisses me off. I mean these guys spend so much time learning all these different styles and then never really use them. It's just slapping pretty titles on street fighting. Real martial arts hardly (if ever) ends up on the ground w/o a death blow or incapacitating move involved. It's bs and it needs to be called what it is. Brawling. OMG!! Muay Thai is soooo sick. I used to go watch real Muay Thai fights in Bankok when I had the chance (my sensei would take me to various tournaments as a reward for doing well in my own tournaments) I saw one guy land a kick to another guy's head and it did a full 180 it was soo radtastic to see such a feat of strength. I was like Holy shit O_o. I knew right then I never ever wanted to fight one of those guys.
Thats sweet well I hope you have luck on finding his master that would be sweet. Yeah Aikido is about using your opponents force against him I would love to use that as a base then like you said fill in the rest with a great offense but I don't want to be taught with the competitive sports way, I like the code and honor I would love to learn back before it was a sport when the Sanurai used to use in close hand to hand when it was to close for swords. Yeah its always good to watch different styles mix it up a bit. I don't like all this MMA stuff though they reckon that it pits the styles against each other but in the end it all turns into a brawl or just wrestling. I was watching one the other day and it was a professional street fighter against I think it was a Muay thai fighter and the street fighter kicked ass all because he was the better brawler/wrestler I mean what good are most styles on the ground except Judo and wrestling. Meh but that's is just me, I love watching old school Muay thai matches with the traditional rope, the worlds deadliest martial arts apparently killed more people in the ring than any other.
lol I agree its nice to run into someone that knows wtf I'm talking about ^_^. Apparently According to my sensei his master was trained by a master back in the day. So if I could get a hold of my old sensei maybe I could be taught by his master (unlikely but worth a shot). I've heard of Zendokai, its usefulness is similar to Tae-Kwon-Do. Though it is horrifically weak and completely useless in a real fight it's a good beginner's style. Akido is a GREAT art I was lucky enough to sit in on one of my brother's classes and (of course) pit my style up against his. It was a lot of fun in terms of finding out my weaknesses and finding his as well. He totally won the sparring match, but in a no holds barred fight fight between us he can overpower me in brute strength (since he is older and stronger) but I beat his ass every time in terms of ability. If I might make a recommendation for styles to learn I would have to say Judo is far better than Akido due to the fact that Akido demonstrates a passive grapple style of battle that can put you at a distinct disadvantage against many other styles. Judo fills in that disadvantage with non-passive grapple based art. I'm currently taking Judo that's why I don't have a whole lot of time to keep up on my Jujitsu art, but my new sensei has taken a shine to me in sparring due to the fact that I don't like to follow rules that expressly prohibit combining arts. So my other classmates don't like to spar against me. Even some of the higher students are intimidated XD. The rest want to test their abilities which is funny cause they are looking at me as though I'm unbeatable and I know I'm not I'm just inventive.
Yeah I don't think ninjitsu is widely taught in this century I guess it was very secretive and I don't think are to many real masters left today, I have an awesome book about the nine arts of ninjitsu a professional ninja (he wasn't a full master) went around and interveiwed old masters. Well thats one thing we have in common because I to would love to learn it, In fact when I was younger I always wanted to travel to Japan and traverse the mountains to see if there was still any that lived there lol I used to study Zendokai thats what I started in but it wasn't for me it had no code or skill it was just purely self defence its just freestyle karate. I want to go and study Aikido thats where I would like to start, then probably Shoalin kempo, and maybe Kenjutsu. Wow its good to be able to talk about martial arts with someone haha
I keep up periodically when I can. I started when I was 8 so I graduated by the time I turned 18. The style I learned was Japanese Jujitsu. I would like to learn actual Ninjutsu (Jujitsu is the "sport" form so I didn't learn all the fun stuff like killing blows and what not) but it seems that I will never find a proper teacher.
Thats awesome do you still do martial arts, what discipline/style do you do?
Rly? thats awesome I participated in a junior division martial arts competition in Sydney once a few years back. I enjoyed it there alot it was nice. Hot but nice.
