I take TKD, but am thinking of taking Wushu or Wing Chung for self defence reasons.

LOL!

Dude, you want to do self-defense, find yourself a PFS instructor and do JKD.

Go to www.fighting.net and use the instructor search.

I am into BJJ, but I would love to cross train with MT and maybe a little boxing later on.

If you want self-defense, Wushu ain't your thing. It's really fancy, really fast, and looks awesome, but self defense? Nah. Wing Chun, on the other hand, is some awesome self defense, when coupled with something like Karate or Muay Thai.

> Dude, you want to do self-defense, find yourself a PFS instructor and do JKD.


No, if you want self defense either find yourself a nice gang of mates, grow so big that people don't want to mess with you, or stay the **** out of trouble.

Everything else will either get you rammed, if not after your first opponent then after you step on toes of someone who took my tip and DID get a gang of mates, or in jail.

> Shitty schools are everywhere, for every art, but Aikido is good, practical self-defense. MMA grapplers especially tend to like it.


HHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This part about MMA grapplers is so retarded it is actually funny :>

> In fact, when PeepeeShaolin shows up he's going to say something like this "I've said it before and I'll say it again, Aikido is good for two things, Jack and ****" He's written that numerous times on ADCC.


And he was damn right every time.

> Shotokan kicks some serious ass, and includes groundfighting, which most people don't know about.

Uh, groundfighting?
Do you spar on the ground?


> And as far as Aikido's effectiveness, I don't know what the **** is going through that guy's head.


It is called "thoughts".


> Let's see him bad mouth Aikido when he's on the floor with his arm looking like a pretzel.


Hahahahahaaa :)
You mean, just like it happened in your imagination a million times?

Dude, it's like this, people who aren't big or tough enough to do wrestling do aikido. And women do aikido.

United Aussie Front? I'll take your word for it. As for that neanderthal Stipe: you are the dumbest ************ I've come across in a while. Your stupidity stunned me, dude. Aikido practiced properly is an awesome fighting art, and if you're too fucking stupid to understand it, go ahead with wrestling, it's good too. But don't mock styles you know jack **** about, you little roach.

:-)-: ,

This is an ongoing joke for me. For some reason I am at WAR with many Aussie MA! (Not serious mind you) Since they have started ganging up on me (and one is supposed to be my partner! :( ) I have dubbed them the United Aussie Front. See Cyberkwoon for more details.

As long as he doesn't go to Tokyo and cause a riot, he'll be safe in that belief.

Well it appears the whole bloody WORLD is too stupid to "understand" aikido, as aikidoka haven't offered ONE decent fighter yet. ONE.


Listen, chump, there is something you gotta understand here. I got no problem with disagreeing with you, or with you training crap, nor do I intend to make YOU switch what you train. Go ahead with anything you like.

Bud I do have a problem with you sporting flat out LIES around here, cause this actually looks like a promising forum and I don't want morons like you to turn it a shitty place.

You said "MMA grapplers especially tend to like aikido", which is a god damn LIE.

We have people new to martial arts here, who were smarter than to join the gym nearest to their home (which is what most people do, either that or whatever their buddies are training), we have them asking questions here, and you LIE to those people.


MMA grapplers do wrestling, BJJ and Sambo, period. ALL MMA FIGHTERS do wrestling and BJJ; it may not be their main art, but they all DO IT, cause they know they HAVE TO if they want to keep on fighting.

You're talking crap here, buddy, cause I don't see MMA grapplers liking aikido one bit. They're too smart for that.

"Well it appears the whole bloody WORLD is too stupid to "understand" aikido, as aikidoka haven't offered ONE decent fighter yet. ONE."

What exactly is your experience with aikido? I can name MANY but I would rather you go see for yourself! But you probably won't. Like many VTGs (VIRTUAL TOUGH GUY) they sound and act like they have a clue but are really sorry in person.

"MMA grapplers do wrestling, BJJ and Sambo, period. ALL MMA FIGHTERS do wrestling and BJJ; it may not be their main art, but they all DO IT, cause they know they HAVE TO if they want to keep on fighting."

This is not true. But lets see how smart you are in why it isn't.

I already said it, people who aren't tough enough to do wrestling and women do aikido.
In an aikido dojo you can find skinny men, fat men, and clumsy women who train twice a week, and you are highly unlikely to find big strong men there.
Let alone NHB fighters.




"MMA grapplers do wrestling, BJJ and Sambo, period. ALL MMA FIGHTERS do wrestling and BJJ; it may not be their main art, but they all DO IT, cause they know they HAVE TO if they want to keep on fighting."

This is not true.



Is this the part where I flood you with every last NHB fighter's name you ever heard of and ask you what was he training if not BJJ/wrestling/Sambo?


- Stipe -

GO AHEAD!!!

The problem here is you used an ABSOLUTE (ie ALL) All I have to do is name ONE that doesn't study BJJ, Wrestling, or sambo. (and yes they ARE OUT THERE!!!) To prove what I said is true.

GO AHEAD FIRE AWAY!!!
Then I will fire once and prove you wrong!!!
