tRiistaNzz Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Hi, I was wondering too if anyone goes to the gym, does bodybuilding or any martial art? If so which one? and what ur goals? I quitted Muay thai to gain some mass, I was practicing it for 1 year and did 1 year of english box aswell. When I feel like I'm ready I'm gonna follow some mma lessons for awhile I think. Quote

Kempo Karate. Three stages of Kempo: 1) Kihon: you become the equal of ordinary men 2) Kumite: other men become cattle to you 3) Atemiwaza: other men are blades of grass The goal of Kempo is to avoid conflict altogether. Once trained, you should never have to use it, like a nuclear arsenal. There is no reason for anyone to fight you, cause they would lose. Kempo is not a sport. Someone thows a punch at you, you block it, twist the arm out of socket, hit them in the neck, and they are dead. Not fun to watch. Quote
tRiistaNzz Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 Nice, never saw someone practicing it before.. I want to do some kravmaga later too, it's much self defense and situations like in a bus versus 3 guys, alone on the streets versus guy with a knife, etc .. Quote

Not fun to watch. isnt it what steven siegal uses? i had privilege to spar kempo, normal karate, and muai thay. kempo was the hardest to beat, just knock my kicks out, its scary lol. muai thay was hard also, insanely fast kicks, i wasnt used to fighting them. got a kick in the guts, and i got pissed and kicked him in the face lol Quote
tRiistaNzz Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 haha nice story desu but I for me the best is MMA Quote
Desu Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 haha nice story desu but I for me the best is MMA well MMA isnt martial arts. u can use martials for MMA, but it itself is pure violence. martial art is about discipline, mind over matter, stuff like that. basically learn to control yourself through rigorous training MMA isnt that...

tRiistaNzz Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 Yes I know but I was speaking for myself ( I'm tired of the discipline I think ) so it's better MMA. I did Muay thai and English box each for 1 year and I liked it but now I wanna go more hard maybe? Everyone his thing, I almost never fight on the street, I'm a nice guy but in the ring I'm a beast, you know ( if you already stood in a ring ) the feeling it gives you And I really look forward to learning the brazilian jiujitsu in MMA and then gonna go follow some kravmaga lessons.

In the style of Kempo I studied (Hanto Saichen Rui) we only had five kicks. We had hundreds of Tuite moves though. Tuite is how to block and use locks. So you kick at me, I block you with my knee, then you kick again, I block again with an elbow, nothing happens, etc. Then you kick high at my head because you can't get past my legs, and I catch your foot and twist it, knocking you down. I laugh and wait for you to get up. I had this experience sparring with a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. It was funny. Tae Kwon Do is useless against Kempo (or AIkido, or Ju Jitsu, or Hapkido etc). It's very hard to find anyone who will teach Kempo anymore. During my training I had three broken toes, broke my left middle finger, and had one tooth (back right lower molar) smashed. Another student had a broken rib. Another guy injured his foot when our sensei blocked his kick and he quit. It was brutal. I was in my twenties, I could never do that again. But now I am a tough old bastard. Quote
tRiistaNzz Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 Nice, I'd like to learn Kempo but I didn't see any club yet.. I saw a savate club, an ex-paracommando teaching there, but is savate good? Quote
Desu Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 p. I had this experience sparring with a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. It was funny. Tae Kwon Do is useless against Kempo (or AIkido, or Ju Jitsu, or Hapkido etc). funny how i beat people using them. taekwondo isnt also about kicks. most retards rush in and blindly kick, and will get his asskicked. use feints, lightning quick kicks, and such. a strong enough axe kick at the right time will even go through Kempo's twist or w/e Quote
=FA=ArmTheINSANE Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 I train at a MMA gym. I do judo, BJJ, boxing, and Kickboxing. I don't fight in any competitions but I train with all the fighters that do. I'm in this youtube boxing video. I'm in the last 40 seconds or so in the black and grey shirt. I'm sparring against Brian Olsen. He was the former WEC heavy weight champion. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Brian-Olsen-11562 I love fighting against black belts in Karate, Tae Kwon do... Quote
