So whats everyones favorite Martial Art form? Im currently trained in Tang Soo Do and and about to start training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Judo at a school for a MMA league down here. I do however would like to say Ninjutsu is one of the best. Kung Fu is nice, although it all comes down to whose using it. But lets hear some of your input and see what the majority has to say. One martial art I dont really like is TaeKwonDo...basiclly because of my Tang Soo Do background lol..At comps this was a big rivalry. |

| I have my black belt in TaeKwonDo and Jujitsu. Growing up I was a tournament fighter, (real tournaments - 3 points you win deal. None of the MMA stuff) and the TKD was good for that. In a real life situation, TKD is useless, and thats where the Jujitsu picks up. | |

Well i'm also a black belt in TWD,been to tournaments against other types of marshal arts and always won.(In a real life situation, TKD is useless) i don't think that's true because Ive been in some dangerous situations and i always managed to protect myself and whoop some ass but i guess it all depends on who's training you,they all cant be good trainers. |

I like (and train in) jujutsu. I find if very effective. And the emphasis is on self-defence, not competition, which I prefer. But it's important to note that it's not just the style that matters; it's the school. I've been to a very bad jujutsu school. It'll be the same with other arts. There are good karate schools and there are bad karate schools; good aikido schools and bad aikido schools. |

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I always held Tae Kwon Do with contempt because of its practical inefficiency. Or maybe I was just pissed off at getting beat by someone from a Tae Kwon Do school in a tournament. Who knows. The style does seem to do well at tournaments, but the fancy kicks and low power behind them does not serve it well in a practical sense. I was in one tournament where a TKD student actually kicked me in the ass. Not "kicked my ass", he actually kicked me in the butt with the top of his foot. I think I must have had a befuddled look on my face after it happened. (Like "what in the fuck are you trying to accomplish with THAT bullshit?") Of course, my opinion of the "best" style will be biased, as are those here. I studied goju-kai for twelve years. It is a Japanese style of karate which uses a balanced combination of feet and hand techniques. Think "kick boxing", and that's goju-kai. It is not fancy, but the techniques are fast and powerful. In a practical situation, it is probably one of the most effective styles, but my school has never blown away the competition at tournaments. |

I am currently Studying Tae So Doo. It is a Korean Martial Art that I consider the best. We study many different types of combat situations as well as non practical but useful skills. We study/train in: Grappling (ground fighting) Sparring (stand up fighting) 1 step defense (defensive moves performed with one blow) Take downs and Pressure points (defensive moves performed with pressure points to submit opponents) Joint Manipulations (similar to pressure points but the pain is being placed on a joint.) Weapon Forms (Sword, Staff, nunchucks(sp?) , Kendo (I forget what we call it, it is the same but we have a funky name for it haha) Meditation and Ki energy (basically learning to control your mind and body as one.) The main reason I consider this martial art to be so great is because the range of education we receive. We learn a wide range of moves and movements. Hard and soft style offense and defense. Stand up and on the ground fighting. It is just a very wide range of martial arts. Also, one thing to point out is that Tae So Doo isn't the main part of my martial art. It was started to prepare the average person to train in the real art form which is Hwa Rang Do. So, once I obtain my black belt in Tae So Doo I will just be starting Hwa Rang Do. At that point I will already be as knowledged as most martial artists at their peak, and I still have years of training ahead of me. |

| I would also like to say that I am currently an orange belt in Tae So Doo, which is only the second rank. Excuse me if my choice of words for some things weren't completely correct. | |

| I myself study Brazilian Jiu Jiutsu under the Grace family. I box on spare time with friend nice guys goodfellas. I'm a blue belt in jiu jiutsu, it may be the second belt but it takes forever getting though the white belt and the 4 stripes. A year and three months to be percise. | |

It's all about Muay Thai! Great sport, I was over in Thailand training for it there recently. It's the country's main sport, everyone does it. I asked one of the guys I went for dinner with why our waiter had three eyes tattooed on his arm...it was one for each eye he had taken out with his elbow...bad bastard |

I took up muay thai for around 2 and a half to 3 years and I think it's the best thing to study as it's possibly the closest thing you'll ever get to street fighting. Anything goes, except headbutting lol. Some of the fights I've been to see are immense and it's getting quite big over here in the UK. I also know that they recently did a Contender programme (Previous ones were based on boxing, starring sly and sugar ray leonard) based on muay thai, which included thai boxers from around the world, was a good show from what i saw. Something i definitely recommend people to get into though. To be completely honest though, I'm trying to get back into my boxing right now, I love the sport and it's great for my fitness, it's not considered a martial art but if you can learn the techniques of how to throw a good punch it's always a good confidence boost to know you can handle yourself if it comes to the crunch. |
