I practice Wan - King. Standing up and on the ground. Even sometimes on my knees. I fit in about 4 sessions a day.
Shotokan Karate. Boxed. have a school and teach. www.japankarateway.com martial arts if trained well can and are effective. if not trained well, and i mean realistically as a boxer trains or someone interested in the realities of actual combat, then most of them are worthless and dangerous. unfortunately, most people that come into a martial arts school have an unrealistic idea about what they are going to encounter. most think they will learn some sort of secret way to power or not have to work hard. most lose interest when hard work starts and contines or they get hit.
used to train boxing and kick boxing but mostly for fitness, no competitive reasons, judo from age 6 till about 20 yrs old, 1st dan...now mostly weight training and mma when i can fit it into my schedule....used to run judo clubs and ran an mma style mixed club for a year or so about 12 years ago!!
At the moment I'm only doing Judo. I recently tried JKD but the place was too far to go every week. I'm also going back to boxing in the next couple of months. The stuff I really wanted to try was BJJ, Krav Maga, and Muay Thai, but there are no clubs at all in my area. I'm hopefully going to substitute the Muay Thai with osme kickboxing, and the Judo will have to do for the grappling stuff, in place of the BJJ. Anyone got any ideas on something to replace the Krav Maga training that I'm missing out on?! Before you mention it, there's no Systema local either.
At the moment, I'm only actively training Boxing. I've done a few months of BJJ and occasionally roll with a flatmate, but I cnat afford classes right now. I did a bit of Muay Thai a few years ago. Other than that, I've mainly been a practitioner of LLap Goch. This content is protected
