Martial arts

How come everyone here knows kendo T_T I want to try it out now

LoonylionShotokan Karate. I'm a 9th Kyu and it's the original form of karate. It is also the Japanese national sport, and they have lost to the UK twice in a row so far :)

If i'm not mistaken, Shorin-ryu/Okinawan karate is the original form of Karate.Anyways,used to do Taekwondo. Now I favor more modern styles like Sambo, Krav Maga, or Savate. I believe these are more efficient, waste less energy, and are more practical. Also I'm hearinggood things about Silat and Kali.

Yeah those martial arts came up in human weapon. Arguably one of the best martial arts are Wing Chun and Jeet Kun Do. Those styles were learned by Bruce Lee, and he focus on not wasting energy and breaking away from conventional style martial arts. He says that they are too rigid and slow.

I don't have an official school for anything but I do spar with some of my friends who do MMA since I'm pretty heavy. They use me to practice their wrestling and BJJ which I tried for a couple of months so yeah :P----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ninjitsu with the kill punch pwns all XD

well fight science proved that the one punch kill was real :P but its more than a touch :Dmmm pressure points

an uppercut to the nose can kill in one blow, but its considerably more than a touch. An elbow strike to the head could feasibly kill also.

Dont forget a nice strike to the solar plexus...is that how you spell it? Yeah it can mean death. And if im not mistaken, a strong blow to the neck can knock you out. Just try a light punch to your own neck, you can feel a little as though you are gonna pass out.

Bruce Lee invented Jeet Kune Do.

I saw this one. But I still dont believe the guy performing it. Also there is no "real" Ninjutsu. I mean its not a structured form of martial art, or a martial art at all. Go check the Iga ninja museum(google or wiki it) for details.

It's not really a touch perce, more like a strong hit. A hard punch or chop to the side of the neck can be fatal or can knock you out. My teacher wanted to demonstrate it on one of the students, everyone chickened out.

Replying to #30

just like a hard kick down there can make you throw up >.>

AnandjonesUsed to do Seido karate for 1 and a half years or so, was a Yellow belt :) Used to piss off my teacher Gary so much. I would attack people randomly in my class :) Quit as I developed my own martial art Anandojutsu, combines power, skill and mental thinking :) For more information on courses in your region, email me. Courses cost $80 over a period of 6 weeks, subject to change, no refunds. I will not take any responsibility for injured students in class. Go to http://www.anandojutsu.jones for more information.

http://www.anandojutsu.jones.net/islamelolI did kendo or something like that (can't remember what it's called) for almost a year. Very cool, I'm really not flexible but I developed it after a month or so.

Alot of guys at my highschool did this as "fun". They would hit someone really hard somewhere on your neck (I don't know where exactly), and you get Knocked out for like a few minuets. Apparently is really "thrilling"...I don't really believe in "chi" and how you can manipulate "chi" and produce energy that's must more powerful than a pure punch would

True or not, I must say I have seen some evidence that it does exist. Like I've seen a master monk being attacked by his students (practice of course) and they are all like jumping at him and with just one hand, he effortlessly pushes them away and even when they land, they go tumbling. He is not exactly ripped, so yeah, internal energy.

...That would be awesome to watch, some martial arts masters are really strong in their art, such as in a YouTube video I watched a while ago, there was this 40 year old guy versus 6 people. He wasted them with several palm punches, he didn't do them too hard though as they were his pupils. Though they were on the ground for a few minutes. I've also seen a 8 year old kid palm punch a fully grown man, which took him down. Not sure if it was real or fake, the lighting and camera was bad.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=eWR6ebmXMLgAndy Sherry does my gradings, and he's a hard sensei. My 9th kyu grading involved two hours of non-stop intensive training, followed by an hour of grading. This was the day after I returned from holiday so I had no food in the house, so no breakfast, and I forgot to fill a water bottle. Never again. I feel sorry for anyone who attempts to mug that 'old man'

Cahos Rahne Veloza · #36physical brute force pales into comparison to the master of manipulating/handling the key pressure points of the human body as well as chi convergence/manipulation.

I think pressure points or weak points is something that is vital in fighting. But chi, I've seen the videos of demostrations, but that can be acting. I guess I wont know until I get hit with a palm full of chi >.< *shudder*

No, the planet's life force is Gaia :D
