That's old- but still. That guy knows kali!
Windmilling in =single six
I feel so proud :D
LOL, :D :D :D, sheer class, I have seen it before, but it was just as funny the second time around. But its so true of the way the typical guy fights, I know it sounds ridiculus but it is useful to train to defend yourself against windmill (haymaker)punches since they are so common over here, systema blocks are excellent for this.;)
excellent stuff good old fashioned visciousness a very powerful weapon.
headbutts are great very easy to defend against but if you land one its usually game over.hard to train though without gettign a splitting headache!!!:D :D
dont need ot train it - just need around 10 pints so you cant feel anything :D
dawood
that's comedy! :D
cheers
:D
Excellent!
And actually, if there was more training like that, we'd see better schools.
I'm going to post this on EF. Thanks, ST00 :D
Karate used to be a very popular MA, and it's maybe the most famous MA style name in the world, as most people would say "Oooh, Karate!" if you mention you practise MA. But the style have degraded in popularity, ever since the UFC/NHB/MMA hype that have risen a few years ago.
Does anyone think Karate as an art will ever prevail and be respected in the MA community again? Is it worth it? Is it really a good style, and what do you think Karate should do to be respected again?
opinions maybe from Budokan and Rogue would be great ;)
:o
Ah,there´s popularity and then there is popularity...
Mass media,UFC,trends and all this,then there must be serious involvement down there.
I said USED to be popular, you know in the 1960-80s period.
Actually Karate is as popular as ever if not more so.
UFC and all of that is a fringe activity. Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi and Judo rule the mainstream.
Just because people who post on the web disrespect karate, it does not follow that the "martial arts community" thinks that way.
In reality, it is the UFC and MMA that does not have the respect of our society at large.
Oh. did'nt see it that way. The McDojos are anyware, in any country in the world, and it's mostly karate that is taught in these.
I could rephrase the question: what could karate do to gain respect as a REAL, efficient combat art? I don't think personally that they could do anything, if they don't take some good things from other arts as well. It's not a very varied style (or style-s, there's hundreds of Karate styles as well)
