Engineers: If it wasn't for us there'd be no mechs for emo pilots to fly

I used to train <i>ke jia quan</i>, literally "Hakka fist". Hakka is a dialect group in China, and this martial art is in the Southen Fist style, which emphasizes more on direct muscular training and more... well, it's more of an "outer" style, as compared to the Northern styles, and generally has less leg work and more emphasis on stability. Tae Kwan Do is similar to the Northern styles, which makes sense since Kora is closer to the Northern parts of China.

I used to take fencing too.

Pity that I dropped them to focus on my music.

Fencing is awesome.

I keep thinking the topic title says "marital arts"

The style I learned was Moo Duk Kwan Tang Soo Do. It's tight, yo.

I took tae kwon do and I'm teaching myself boxing.

I honestly believe that this can only work for Bruce Lee. And I also think it is only oriented for fighting people WITHOUT weapons.

Is this Chuck Norris's style?

Anyway I am studying under the Bukinkan Organization. There are nine schools taught under this organization:
Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu
Gyokushin Ryu Ninjutsu
Kumogakure Ryu Ninjutsu
Gyokko Ryu Koshijutsu
Kukishin Ryu Happo Hikkenjutsu
Koto Ryu Koppojutsu
Shinden Fudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu
Takagi Yoshin Ryu Jutaijutsu
Gikan Ryu Koppo Taijutsu

The sad thing about fencing and other related martial arts is all the equipment you have to buy and wear. It's a serious pain on your wallet and I'm always so glad to take it off and stand in the wind.

Fencing looks like a lot of fun. I read that Bruce Lee based a lot of Jeet Kune Do on fencing.

I wouldn't be surprised. Fencing is all about hitting your opponent while avoiding attacks yourself. It seems an ideal influence for any modern or recently developed art.

Um, no. He wrote it in his book.

Wouldn't that be valid for most martial arts? I'm pretty sure that the martial arts encouraging you to take hits are a minority...

I don't mean that there are arts that encourage the act of getting hurt, but some do focus on grappling and maintaining proximity, making oneself a more available target. An example would be what I've seen of Judo, which, while not really intended to be applied to life or death situations (at least I hope not), isn't in any way an effective means of not getting stabbed.

Hue.

there's another, properly spelled thread to use. see "martial arts". Focus more strength into your kicks, and learn to use your punches, you'll come out a better fighter for it, if you're a typical Taekwondo fighter.
