What style?Discussion started by woodj |
Subject Description
Not necessarily health related, but for the sake of socializing, what style(s) of martial arts do you study?
I study American Kenpo and American Kickboxing regularly, with some Judo, Jujutsu, and Hapkido on the side from friends.

styleI'm first dan in usa karate, though I haven't been associated with them in years. I've been in Krav Maga for two years, testing into level III. It's an interesting style, ruthless, very street orientated - I was a bit annoyed by the sport aspect of Karate, and this style doesn't promote a sport too it. Only real life training and camaraderie. Posted by bradyjfrey on Mar. 12, 2008 at 09:47AM |

I've not had much association with American Kenpo, do you like it? Anything you could say about your experience with it? Posted by bradyjfrey on Mar. 14, 2008 at 12:04AM |

American Kenpo gets a bad rep because a) there are so many bad teachers and b) students don't realize what the system is trying to teach. If you understand how the system is set up and how to utilize it, it is a very effective art for self defense and fighting. Much of the system is a study of motion and physical concepts. The people who buy these as actual self defense will get a rude awakening at some point (and likely give the rest of us a bad name). Those who learn the lessons hidden in the system will become excellent fighters. Posted by woodj on Mar. 14, 2008 at 08:15AM |

BJJ and muay taiJust started a really good BJJ school, and they also teach Muay Tai. The school is geared towards MMA style fighting, but its fun. Karate gets a bad rep cause of the sport aspect, but I have known some really good karate guys. Posted by jcrowe6 on Oct. 27, 2008 at 10:47AM |

Bjj and KenpoI've been training BJJ for about 3 years now and Kenpo only for a couple months. The kenpo is to help my pathetic standup but i love the jiu jitsu and the ground work :) Posted by sdabbott1 on Apr. 24, 2009 at 02:14PM |

Kyokushin and JujitsuI am a blue belt in Kyokushin and I take BJJ. I live them both but I have to say that I really love the ground game more. Posted by pandorasvise on Jan. 24, 2010 at 05:12PM |
