Martial Arts

Who like's Martial Arts? i do.

 

it's pretty cool. Fearless got me loving the sport. Watching Jet Li kicking ass is a great sight.

 

Watching Jackie Chans animated series is fun

 

Hahahhaha

Jackie Chan is so sick. I used to watch the cartoon series everyday.

 

Bruce Lee and Jet Li are better tho.

 

jackie chan used to be trained in a circus thats why he is soo good at all these stunts...so technically its not martial arts...the things that bruce lee and jet li do are martial arts

 

Did anyone saw Fearless? It was Jet Li's last hurrah and a pretty good one, even if it was historically inaccurate.

 

great martial arts.... jackie chan?

 

i do taekwondo... and bruce lee's cool

 

Whatever did happen to the Jackie Chan cartoon series?

 

I did it but then I thought it was boring

wow nice, lol my mate learnt valitudo and wanted to show me, i dident realise its all submission moves before i knew it he punched me in the face went up for a knee stike and took me to the floor, once there he put me ina arm lock and neck lock, he wouldent let go and i went blue was so funny gave him hell for it after, that fat lip sure shut him up

 

its actually quite painful =)

 

I hate to sound negative, but many martial arts are more for "show" than for actualy fighting. Karate for instance, has been proven ineffective against other styles of fighting. Boxing is often usefull though. It's just that alot of martial arts teach a bunch of things, which do not actualy help you in fights. I've also discussed how the ranks work in karate (and I expect it is similar in other martial arts) with an experienced user (my uncle he's been doing it for several years) and he said that your rank isn't determined solely by your skill, but alot by your connections, and whether or not certain people like you. Overall, you can't realy say a fighting style is usefull for you unless you've been in several fights which you applied it to. (in real life with people who were actualy trying to hurt you, not in a sparring match)
