which style of fighting is most practicle in a real fight.

[JT Rock]

I found Jeet Kune Do about 12 years ago and have trained off and on over that time... JKD makes you profecient in all ranges of combat. Boxing, Trapping, Kicking, Grappling... Nice thing is you adapt to the opponent, instead of a punch in the face I might utilize a finger jab to the eye or open palm strike to the face its very versatile and utilizes useful attributes of other martial arts.. But the nice thing is it stresses defense and getting hit very little in return... theres so much that it entails, this is the school I belong too check out the link and more indepth explanation

I would have to give it to Boxing, Jujitsu...and i have much love for all arts of combat...these are very practicle and effective...

However, i know a few practitioners of Hapkido, and they really don't waste much time breaking bones and connecting with pressure points...A friend of mine, tried his best to not fight with a fellow who had road rage...the man made a move, within seconds my buddy busted his forearm, it actually made a bang like a gun...bad stuff

is hapkido the style that steven segul uses in his flicks

Good point!! I think if I remember reading some posts of yours a few months back and if memory serves me correct, you do practice Filipino Martial Arts... Silat, Kali, Dumog... My instructor has his own system of Filipino MA called Kun Tao Dumpag.. I'll get you the link he is also a certified instructor of JKD and Inosanto Kali, under Dan Inosanto of course also teaches and practices Pekiti Tirsia Kali under Grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaje Jr

Here is a link on Kun Tao Dumpag... Most FMA people find it a good read, there is also a forum if you have ideas or techniques you want to share about the FMA'S from personal experiences or just sharing your knowledge...

i was watchin some judo clips on youtube and it looks very fancy

[Munkymagic]

Fancy?

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Munky when I'm 80 I'll have a dozen pitbulls to protect me.

JT I used to. With Dave Carnell whose instructors were Chris Kent and Cass Magda. From what I've read my old school has taken on bjj and the like and started to go in to comps. Things like jkd are not suited to rules, not saying that like that 'art' is so bad we daren't use it only you can't bite, scratch, fish hook, hit the balls, eye gouge which are things meant for self defence not tournaments. Back in the day I know a few of the lads went to those geoff thompson animals days. I also don't see the point in stick fighting comps, some of the ideas of the dog brothers were sound but again, you aren't going to be wearing head protection in the street

[Von Milash]

Anyone ever see "A History of Violence"?

The fighting that Viggo Mortensen uses in it is what I aspire to be.

No..thats Aikido..not Hapkido...very very different...

[Von Milash]

either way that shit's useless. like someone is just going to hand over thier arm or hand or whatever.

either way that S***'s useless. like someone is just going to hand over thier arm or hand or whatever.

no argument...

at the same time..."Most" non-skilled fighters are the ones wanting to fight in the first place. Anyone with a real backround of a discipline...isn't interested in dishing a punishment, unless forced upon...Then you actually do have a pretty decent chance of finishing your "non-skilled" opponent with a finishing blow...

agreed??

Remember Von to obtain pain compliance or joint destructions you have to create a distraction whether its intercepting the fist, parrying or deflecting set up mutiple combos depending on were the sequence flows...

example: if you attempted to punch me and I deflected with my right and simotaneously fingerjabbed you with my left to your eye, quickly grabbed your wrist with my right and then uppercutted your already hyper-extended elbow with my own elbow you are already such a mess that a 5 year old could grab your wrist and make you comply and thats just one possible scenario out of 1000's or it works well if someone grabs you, your shirt there are countless ways and styles.. I prefer the FMA's myself and as I been thinking it over for the past year, I might forgo the JKD and MMA aspirations and concentrate on the FMA's but I feel at 31 I still have a long time to go in MA's so I have time to do it all essentially but work is a heavy constraint on my time and growth

No disrespect mate it doesnt work like that in a real go. I would bet my house you would not be able to pull that shit off in a real go. Thats my opinion but its an opinion of experience. I have seen to many people try that stuff and get levelled.

Sorry
