I just got done fighting with some friends (nothing serious) and relized that we all had differing styles, some boxers, some martial artist(or wannabe\'s) and thought i would ask, what style you go for. personally i have been in martial arts most of my life, Kung-fu to be acurate, but i have never used it once, whether in real fight, or just messing around. I\'m a deffinit ground grappler, prolifically using joint locks. i have never lost a fight thanks to three basic moves, 1st a spear type shoulder tackle, then depending on which way they land i\'ll go for an arm bar/arm bar sleeper, or if everything goes right i\'ll go for my signature move, that i\'ve been using for around 15 years, the ankle lock. and if they are struggling to much i\'ll scissor lock thier leg. the only time i ever had a problem, was once my friend was waiting for the tackle and he slammed my face into the ground, luckily i reached out and hooked his leg, and got him to the ground, and it was over.

I have never been in a serious fight, outside of me being ticked off at my friends a few times and getting into a wrestling match. This is one of my biggest regrets too, due to one thing: Fight Club.
"How much do you know about yourself if youv\'e never been in a fight?"
-
we can start the "ps2 central fight club".
-
Well you just broke rules one and two.
-
I fight with my brother all the time and he\'s a martial artists...I however am a brawler..closed fists and elbows with a few knees, but I don\'t use my feet.
-
you will be a grappler till you stick somebody in the face and realize how good it feels.

I have trained under the ways of the Hiten Mitsurugi Style. My favorite attack is called Ryu Tsui Sen Its an attack from above which usually takes my opponent out. If it takes more then one attack to take an opponent out, I use Kuzu Ryu Sen, which is a 9 hit attack that is executed so fast that it seems like one attack. The final attack that I rarely use is the Aamakakeru Ryu no Hirameki, Which is impossible to withstand. Of course I use my sakobato to execute these moves. If I were doing hand to hand fighting, then I simply use my Futae no Kiwami. No one can withstand that. :laughing:

what type of fighter r u?
A Street Fighter. ;)
-
Ima lover not a fighter.. :thepimp:
-
is baseball bat a fighting style?no how bout kick to the groin
besides those the spear and hyperextending the other persons elbow works well i like the spear the best if you can put your shoulder right below the sternum and land it hard enough the fights over they\'ll think their lungs stopped working
-
Boxer/wrestling, a lot of my friends are wrestlers and they teach me all there painful moves. Teach me as in they use them on me.
-
At first when i was younger, i was thinking some martial arts would help me kick some A$$, :rolleyes:
But i then realized that it don\'t matter if you are some super tough mofo, you\'ll still drop to the floor after a couple slugs in your chest. So instead of working on my toughness and muscles, i worked on getting good friends. Guess what, i never had a problem after that. IT\'s who you know, not how much you can benchpress.

So far my favorite is White Tiger Kenpo. I\'ll stick with it. But after that I may try out Kung Fu or Jiu Jitsu.
-
i have to say that kung fu is quite interesting, and really can conform to you, because there are so many styles. my father is a red sash in kung fu so i have been exposed to it most of my life. unfortunetly it just doesn\'t "float my boat", \'cause i\'m a ground grappler by heart.
-
I hate the fights. Really, I\'ve never been into one of those... but I\'m noticing that boys fight more and more... I remember 1 year ago in my HS when 2 small girls fight and one of them pick up the hair of the other...
-
I\'m not a fighter really, but I think I could defend myself pretty well if attacked. I\'ve tried Han Moo Do, judo and a bit of boxing, and now I\'m totally hooked on aikido. Aikido seems to be the first really useful and truly interesting martial art I\'ve tried. I like the philosophy behind it all, it\'s so well thought out and there are no rules, anything can happen, you must always be aware of what might happen. Controlling a suddenly helpless attacker any way you like is just so damn... er... cool :)
So, as a fighter... err... don\'t know, could someone try attacking me? :p I\'m aiming for not having to fight, I\'d prefer running if confronted with a threatening situation, but unfortunately, I\'m not too fast of a runner, so...
-
I dont really have a style, I just use anything and everything. I mainly use knees and closed fists.
-
An F14 Tomcat !
-
I am a deceiver. I make them think i am going to do one thing but then do annother. I also use whatever i have to. But i wont\' kick a dude in the balls unless it is my last resort. :burn:

Martial Arts is not about just fighting. It includes that but also more.
-
Martial arts are learning NOT to fight. U start a fight, that\'s not martial arts. Masagatsu agatsu, true victory is victory over oneself.

Yea... whateveer....... sorry, Im maybe a lil bit drunk now, but after 5 years with martial art (Hung Gar kung fu, Yang Taichi and JKD) I have learned that to fight a person.... is different for each person himself. For me, it is to have em from distance. I like to use my feets, I can side/round kick over my own head (which is 1.90) and I am one of the strongest kickers when we train JKD.. When sparring, I usualy go in for some fast hits with my fists... then I go for round kicks, I dont like side kicks when sparring... since that is more uncontrollable :( In a real street fight sitauation (which Im still have not been in) I would use side kick and hurricane kicks (good for tricking the other fightier) . Intercepting kicks is also very good, but hard to use, since u have to time the other attackers attack :(
-
2 martial artists should never get into a fight. Both should be trying to avoid the conflict.
-
sorry to disagree emperor rob, but it has happened and will happen again. because unfortunetly some people only learn the physical aspects of the empty handed combat, and not learn the philosophy behind it. a true martial artist, yes they will avoid the conflict, because if nothing else, martial arts allow us to run with dignity.
*edit* oops misunderstood you, didn\'t see that u said the word "should"
