Becoming a good fighter...help!

it sounds to me that you like a highly competitive sport such as boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, vale tudo (no holds barred)

real fighting is just plain nasty and scary, there is no one there to stop it if you tap out... the above sports are good for the street too, 'cause you're used to pressure and contact.

 

yup

 

Sounds like the old joke.

Young man- "Excuse me, Do you know the way to Carnege Hall?"
Old Man- "Practice, man. Practice!"

 

heheh, yup

 

i uh, i dont uderstand why you guys dont like fighting, but still got involved in an art about fighting... im not saying that i just go and beat people up, i dont just walk into a mall and start beating the sh!t out of people, but i like the challenge of testing your limits in a one on one dual with a worthy challenger, damn, that sounded like something directly out of some movie ive seen.

 

haha!!! i am the ultimate poster, I POSTED TWICE, WAIT, THREE TIMES IN A ROW!!! but any way, what aspect of fighting do each of you think is most vital to winning a real fight, i think it is Speed/Flexibility, which are both equaly important to me... oh yea, are there any chicorita's fighter martial arts persons here? in other words, chicorita mean chick, or girl, if your a moron.

 

Boxing and submission grappling.

 

sorry if i offended you, kgirl , i did not know that i could edit my messages... uhh, lets, uhh, uhh, ehem, be serious i guess... i stated my opinion about the original question, so, see ya's

 

If you truly like fighting, then I would recommend go fight professionally. You will get money, challenge, fame and all that, but thats if your good enough. Just start somewhere, any art will do. Experience a real match, before you talk about fighting. And I'm not being disrepectful, seriously go to a thai gym, or boxing gym and see if they'll let you have a real match.

 

Fighting isn't limited to a lockdown.
Do them all.More knowledge means a higher advantage. But remember to not mix styles too much.

And maybe you need to ask yourself why you like fighting, other than those endorphins.

 

cool

cool why dont u just enter any kind of tournament whether it is boxing or muay thai championship .

u can enter UFC or K1 championship,sanshou tournaments or just practice with some friends from other martial art then you can test your skills

 

sparring comes close to competative fighting but it's still worlds apart. different levels.

competative fighting comes close to a real fight but it's still worlds apart. different levels.

you cannot love a fight (in the true sense) because a fight has absolutely no rules and no limits. in a fight, someone could bite an ear, a finger, any bodypart. gouge out your eyes, thumbing the eyeballs. a ballpen up the nose. ripping off ears. stabbing an unarmed opponent. (sh!t! sounds like a drunken night in tondo!).

 

do you weight train? if you don't i would start that can definelty help you be on you way to becoming a good fighter. also i would mainly look at the wing chun and most definelty JKD! i highly recommend jkd... also maybe boxing or kickboxing would help. tkd has sparring and thats ya know fighting opponents. so that would be good. and yes i think its possible to become a great fighter on your own... but the question for you is... are you willing to put forth the effort? and if you are get off your butt and start training lets make u a fighter.

 

im not raggin on you or nothing Darkiden, but how old are you?
you really don't wanna get into street fights
when i first came to the US i was the only korean in a school of bigots
i've been in more fights than i remmeber,
i know what you're talking about with all the "glory" in fights
two men
unarmed
going at it to see who is the better fighter
may the best man win
right...
I was in one of these supposedly unarmed fights
I beat the other guy, turned around, and one of his friends swung at me with a weapon
wanna know wut it was?
you know those hooks you can get when u take apart a can opener?
yep
he caught me just below the hairline and raked down toward my eye
by turning my head at the last moment i avoided the eyegouge and just ended up with a huge cut for a while
i suggest you join a martial arts club
i practice and compete in taekwondo
and that takes care of my "fighting need" plenty

 

Hey, how come you say "The only good martial arts schools out here in Hawaii are Wing Chun schools, there is JKD schools but I don't know how to tell if they are good or not. We also have TKD schools and Kung Fu schools in Hawaii."

I'm from O'ahu and there are tons of good school all over. Period. Some are pretty expensive it's true. But in Kailua/Kaneohe, my families homes, there are Universal Kempo, Kempo Unlimmited, BJJ, Okinawan karate, TKD, and who knows what else?

I'm a member of Universal Kempo Karate myself and work out in Kailua and Kalihi when I'm back. They have branches all over the island. Very good bunch of people. If you are near UH try out the Kyokushinkai karate at Kanewai Rec center tu/thur nights. Kyokushinkai spars harder than Universal, though there are plenty of guys who like to 'get it on' at Universal, too. Universal has more self-defense drills and less forms. Both schools are real good. IMHO kung fu an TKD might not be what you are looking for, at least now.
You enjoy fighting (I'd call it sparring, but who care?), so you want a school that does hard sparring, be it boxing, MT, karate, BJJ, or whatever. Boxing will teach speed, punches, movement, but it won't teach chokes, takedowns, kicks etc. Kyokushinkai will teach strikes and takedowns but is weak on chokes and submissions and ground work. Kempo (Hawaiian in general, not Parker's) and Kajukenbo try to include all ranges(long strike, short strike, clinch, and grapple), and depending on the school it can be great or Mcdojo (fake). There are lots of Kajukenbo schools in Kalihi and out around Mililani. It just depends what turns you on, Kyokushin is pretty strict and all commands are in Japanese, but they drink beer and eat sashimi after class! Universal Kempo is more relaxed and real friendly, but if you wise off, they'll take you right down. They also spend a lot of time, like boxing does, hitting bags and pads.

Check out the local martial arts schools, ask around, and for sure you'll find people that like to both spar hard and have fun classes. Aloha pat.
