I'm saddened by the fact that Mcdojos have ruined Taekwondo's reputation especially in America.
Krav Maga, A.K.A Jew Jitsu :v:
Those Judo videos are great. Fucking nice thread.
[QUOTE=lolwutdude;16558644]these are good except for the aikido and the other 'OMG KUNG FU' bullshit. They're only good for tournaments because [i]gasp[/i] they teach you shit specifically for tournament these days. My nearest TKD dojo or whatever doesn't even teach how to defend against a headbutt or a groin kick.
not to mention, most kung fu guys aren't successful in places like UFC, PRIDE!, K-1, and etc.
i mean, look at bonnar. Black belt Tae-kwon-do and lost to fucking Coleman. Come on.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, this is true, unfortunately. They [i]are[/i] designed most often for tournaments and demonstrations, but I felt that it was important to include them anyway because I'm sure somebody, somewhere can actually use them in a fight, and they're just nice for culturing in general and such.
I'm a green belt in Karate. Go me.
I used to practice Karate, but then, when I was 12, we moved and I had to quit. Went up to Green belt. Still have it in my closet. I really feel like going back after reading this thread. I didn't do it for the sake of beating the shit out of my friends though.
UFC 101 later on will be awesome. Shame I won't be able to see it live, I'm not paying the £9 per month for the ESPN channel. I'll have to get a HD rip in the morning, oh well. I can wait.
Not to mention WEC the day after.
I noticed you had a section on Capoeira but didn't mention it. Of course it's a movie but just look at it!

Another is drunk styles. They're not too practical but nice for training balance and flexibility:

Sweet thread man. I'm currently getting into Wing Chun. I like it because it's all about outmaneuvering the other guy's appendages and just wailing on him when he can't fight back. Really fun stuff, if not a little flashy.

yeah, capoeria is cool and very useful.
if you wanna get beaten up. While this dude is breakdancing, I'll be using his head/torso as a soccer ball.
If any of you want to learn some real self-defense: Learn kickboxing, BJJ, and work out in a gym.

For one thread?
[QUOTE=Scyze;16556538]Think I got something wrong, or you have more important information to add? Let me know! If it's good stuff, I'll add it up to the main post![/QUOTE]
Important info: How do you fight against animals?
Could a trained human take on a chimpanzee, gorilla, or a bear?
[QUOTE=phasebot-alt;16572677]Important info: How do you fight against animals?

unless they have a weapon of some sorts, they're dead. All of these above are proven to be stronger than human beings, and gorilla/bear can crush you with one hit yo.
Thanks for the positive feedback, folks!
Eventually I'll be adding sections on:
Savate Boxing
Regular Boxing?
Folk Wrestling
Jeet Kune Do (I'll make sure to emphasize its philosophy)
Capoeira
Marine Corps Martial Arts
Sambo
I'll also add a section on the basic gist of creating your own style (mostly for entertainment), finding a suitable dojo, perhaps a section on basic strategies during sparring, and also perhaps more information on the whole "MMA vs. TMA" conflict.
[QUOTE=phasebot-alt;16572677]Important info: How do you fight against animals?

I suppose it's possible--there have been stories of martial artists and just plain badasses taking on wild animals, but it probably requires a few things:
Balls the size of Pluto.
A death wish.
Insane strength and agility.
The ability to outsmart nature's [i]natural hunters[/i].
A lot of luck.
Basically, not us. :v:
IMO Taekwondo sparring is the best way to go. Lower risk of injury, more tactical than other sparring arts, requires a lot of strength and endurance training along with conditioning, and its not a pissing contest like MMA is. The only thing that can compare is some forms of Karate sparring and Judo.
But the most intense martial arts are Krav Maga and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by far. Although you can really hurt yourself in Judo if you don't have a mat.
Black belt (1st dan) in shotokan karate here, totally out of practise now though. This thread makes me want to get back to it.
Coming from a brown belt in XMA/Jiu Jitsu/American Karate, you did a good job, some of your information on stances and hand attacks is incorrect, but I'll give you your informative.
how the fuck did you even write all of that? how long did it take you? 3 hours?
Yellow belt in shoalin kung fu, it's one of the most fun, but difficult martial arts to master.

[QUOTE=StupidUsername67;16574514]how the fuck did you even write all of that? how long did it take you? 3 hours?[/QUOTE]
3 days, actually, with a good deal of procrastination and looking up more information on everything.

did you just call MMA a piss contest? I think you just mad because your TKD buddies can't do shit in major MMA promotions.

Taekwondo sparring is SHIT. Let's break it down:
Lower risk of injury? Yeah, that, and you never learn how to take a hit, you never improve, and you'll never be prepared for a real situation.
More tactical? Oh wow, you have to use timing to get a point and not let the other guy get a point? Wow. Not. Go watch a real professional fight at the elite level, be it boxing or MMA, and try to tell me they aren't being tactical. If you believe so, you don't know shit.
Requires strength and endurance? I lol'd. At best, you have to have mildly good cardio. Go enter a smoker (more or less, an unofficial fight) for 3 rounds at a decent boxing club and you'll learn what endurance is.
TKD is a shit martial art in itself.

You gotta be pretty fucking retarded if you think people do sports merely for the sake of learning skills applicable in day to day situations. People also do sports for fun or to relax and unwind, not just professional competitions or useful abilities.
If you carry that mindset, then you'd have a lot of sports that'd be complete shit.
That being said, TKD isn't completely useless in a martial arts competition. Serkan Yilmaz for example, is pretty good.

Are you high? Yilmaz is 3-7 in K-1. His 3 wins are fucking cans, nobodies.
Oh and Uno schooling this guy. But let's give this turkish samurai credit, he knows how to hug.

missed rapper kid's post. hey kid, I bet you go around in youtube and use movie as evidence how uber glorified breakdancing can be in a fight.
I did Budo Kai Karate-Jitsu or whatever it is for 5-6 years. I eventually got my 1st dan black belt around about 2005-6 i think it was and then quit shortly afterwards due to laziness. I recommend it though, I still remember a lot from the time I was there, especially knife & gun defence.

Topic and discussion in hand = Martial Arts/Fighting/MMA/Full Contact Sparring.
I'm discussing how I find this Kung Fu bullshit to be..well, bullshit. Only likes of Judo, Shotokan Karate(go Machida), BJJ, and etc is effective in sparring, fighting, and shit.
not this WUSHU AIKIDO ULTIMATE MARTIAL ART crap.
