What martial art do you prefer?

Question

Phoenix98 · Accepted Answer

I prefer none over the other I utilize Jeet Kune Do philosophy and combine martial arts together and I use everything I've learned and continue to learn. I take the strengths of some styles to counteract the weaknesses of others to create a balanced style.

I've been trained in and continue to train in these martial arts, and various concepts and techniques from their respected styles. I use these styles both by themselves and I also combine them.

Traditional/Original Kyokushin Karate of Master Masutatsu Oyama the God-Hand.

Tradtional Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate of Master Chōjun Miyagi.

Jeet Kune Do both the martial art and the philosophy of Master Bruce Lee.

Niten Ichi Ryu the art of killing and war of Miyamoto Musashi Sword Saint and Japanese greatest swordsmen.

The Killing Sword and The Life-Giving Sword of Yagyū Munenori founder of the Edo branch of Yagyū Shinkage-ryū.

Traditional Western Boxing.

Chinese Wing Chun.

Traditional Filipino Escrima.

Brazilian Capoeira

They all have their advantages but also have their disadvantages as well by utilizing and not favoring one over the other all the time you can combine them to compensate for the weaknesses of other styles. And reinforce the strengths of others. And other times you just use one of the styles because it, itself may be better suited to taking on an opponent of another specific style.

I'm not familiar with any of these. I'm a boxer and I think that is the best. I don't think it's the best in terms of effectiveness, because if a fully trained boxer faught a fully trained jiu jitsu guy, the boxer would probably lose. What I mean by boxing being my favorite is that I love the idea of only having 2 weapons (your fists), and only a small surface area to hit (waist and up and only the front facing part of your opponent). I feel like it makes it more of a chess game that involves thinking. This is not to disrespect the other disciplines, I just love boxing.

I tried bujinken taijitsu, and its pretty fun, lots of rolling. I think its best to have some combination of skills, but if I had to pick one, id go for whatever is most effective in an actual fight. I'm a small-ish female so I prefer any style that helps me against a larger opponent. I like Akito and Karate the best so far (although I have not tried them all)

Kung fu is not a martial art, but many styles of martial arts. Same goes with Karate. I like the drunken kung fu style.

Levin · Answer

I do Kung Fu, and about 7 different styles within that. I mean, sure it's not the most practical of arts, but it's the most interesting, and excellent for self cultivation.

They are all pretty cool. I wish I could do capoeira, that's probably my favorite. Taekwondo and Aikido I also like.

fauchelevent · Answer

I don't have much experience with any of them anymore. I got quite high up the ranks in karate as a child though, so I'll go with that.
