What is you favorite martial art and why?

I am new to martial arts, I want to know what everyones favorite martial art is and why? Why do you enjoy this certain art more than anyone else?

 

judo, because the earth is my weapon.

 

MMA, although not actually a martial art, and more of a sport. I love practicing it because it is very close to real one-on-one combat as you can get. I also love the fact that I can incorporate anything I want into it, for instance today I was sparring with my little Brother, and I managed pak sao followed up by some strikes!

How cool is that?

 

Well that's the words that ran through my head when I done it.


Thanks for being a douche though, much appreciated.

 

You should stay on topic man, trolling isn't cool.

 

Idealy I would like to say my favorite style is no style at all. As Bruce lee said "I don't believe in styles." I try to incorpeeate my boxing wrestling and tai chi into one concept when fighting.

However if I had to pick one it would be tai chi. I benefit greatly from tai chi not just from a martial aspect but also from a mental aspect. When the stress of grad school or work or life in general comes down on me hard going through and doing my tai chi form helps clear my mind and helps me relax.

 

Karate - there's nothing in the world that moves and strikes like a top level karate guy. Nothing gives you a sense of humility like being kicked in the head or punched in the gut by someone who moves so quickly you can sense it coming but can't stop it.

 

Fencing - don't do it as much as I used to, but there can be no denying that attacking someone with a sword is great fun; what other martial art is there where you get to pretend you are a pirate or Errol Flynn or whatever lol?

JKD because I have ADHD and cannot focus on one thing








Plus I like biting people after nutting them straight in the face and kneeing their goolies

 

oh man what a thread! grab your popcorn guys

 

Just make sure you don't mix any of that up!

 

We actually do have a groin bite as part of our ground flow.......we don't usually mention it in mixed company

 

True, and we have it in kali too. However he decided that rather than comment on the topic he would just criticize me again, which isn't cool.

 

Maybe.... Ever heard the expression "Once you start to dislike someone, everything they say starts to annoy you."?

Same and vice versa here I think.

EDIT: Oh noes we are de-raaaailing, if you wish to keep up this discussion, feel free to PM me about it xD
