hi
![]() i pratised taekwondo since i was 9 but stopped at age 14 due to a technical injury in a competition and also due to the fact that my dad was actively practising yokushinkai karate and traditional aikido during his time. he doesn't like taekwondo and seeing me training hard for the national team is nonsense. so he searched for a budo school and found an aikido dojo near home and ever since my dad left the country, i was under my sensei's guidance for 10 years and counting ![]() ![]() a few months back, an office-mate tagged me into studying wing chun. so far i'm enjoying it but not to the point of giving up aikido. |

I am now doing Goju karate, but will be changing to Shito ryu in January, and I agree, what we were trained on are not too competitive once on the ground, thats why I love K-1 more than anything else.... Luckily, I also have some on and off training with a friend in BJJ, which gave me some exposures.. right now i am trying to figure a way to strike at them when i was locked on the ground.. |

I opened up my gym recently in rural Thailand: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Although it's not finished, and I need to further develop the facilities, I've started taking some kids to build up long term. I only accept full time and long term students below the age of 10, and they have to be willing to commit to Boxing professionally in the future (more so, their parents have to commit, and understand sending them off to uni in a distant city when they reach 18 is going to be a waste of a dozen years of me training them - they'll leave just when they hit their professional prime and I stand no gain given I train them for free and my income is based on taking a 50% cut from the purse of fighters). The gym is centered around Muay Thai and Western Boxing, and that's what I mostly teach. I'm also going to teach my own version of Ninjutsu to some of my students (namely, my own children and adopted children). I started martial arts when I was 14, joined the Infantry when I was 18 but got the boot because I was in trouble with the police after completeing 9 months of full time Infantry training. So I went to Thailand to learn Muay Thai when I was nearly 20, been here since. I'm 24 next month. Married a Thai and knocked her up and made a daughter. Been training and fighting, now I've got the skills to start teaching kids myself. Muay Thai is great, I really like it. Great conditioning for the body and excellent lifestyle. Have become a powerful fighter now, a long way since when I was a kid doing Wing Chun and Ninjutsu. The eternal Saint is calling, through the ages she has told. The ages have not listened; the will of faith has grown old…

The reason being is that you wont have time to execute the knee once he's gone for the shoot as a good BJJ fighter will pick his angle and close the distance fast. Even if you do connect the change in distancing will likely make it inneffectual. I actually just started BJJ. It's pretty eye opening as I used to think like you and am used to striking arts. As for the Judo fighters... um.. their specialty is throwing on their feet. Good luck trying to throw one with ease. |

I didn't know you were familiar with Western Boxing, Tenchu? I've been considering getting a taste of that, these days.

Though, you do have a point about Judo's standing throws. In any case, it's all about the artists not the art, right, Ronin? |

As for Judo - it's a joke. I guess you won't see it unless you've done Muay Thai. They'll just get kneed in the gut a thousand times the way they fight. The eternal Saint is calling, through the ages she has told. The ages have not listened; the will of faith has grown old…
