I%26#039;m trying to find a [or a few] martial arts style(s) that I%26#039;d favorite. I%26#039;ve basically narrowed it down to Ninjutsu, Jiu-jitsu, Karate and Hapkido.
Aikido seemed interesting, but I wanted more attacks rather than pure defence. And from what I%26#039;ve researched so far, every where I go I read that Judo is a %26quot;watered-down%26quot; version of Jiu-jitsu.
I%26#039;m into defense obviously, but I%26#039;m assuming that comes with everything to some degree - so it%26#039;s a given.
Other than that I%26#039;m into: Wrestling/ground fighting/grappling, strikes [but more so hand techniques], learning to cope with/handle pain, and having control mentally/spiritually.
I guess thats a pretty general mixture of styles though.
[[We can talk more about it over Yahoo/AIM/MSN too.
I like meeting new people anyway.]]|||Judo is not a %26#039;watered%26#039; down version. I take offense to the term watered down as well. I have practiced Judo and Jiu-jitsu for many years as well as Wrestling and Tae-kwon-do.
Judo (the gentle way) is a branch off of jiu-jitsu that was adapted for sport. It is very deadly and very practical. Judo emphasizes many more throws than jiu-jitsu which emphasizes take-downs. In Judo you can practice all your moves in a tournament (excluding the forbidden ones which you do learn at a higher ranking including different locks and strikes).
Tae Kwon Do is somewhat similar in SOME aspects (but certainly not all) to Karate and after practicing it for 7 years I much prefer the grappling martial arts. Aikido was explained to me to be one of the martial arts that would be good if you could practice it for 20 years and dedicate most of your life to learning it whereby you can use an opponent%26#039;s energy against themselves. Judo and Jiu-jitsu are much more hands-on and you can use things in the street right from your first class (especially ground work). Ninjitsu is a breakoff of some of the fighting styles used during the Japanese feudal times. It is effective to my understanding but utilizes weapons in some scenarios that you will probably not have access to when walking down the street. Judo and Jiu-jitsu are what I would consider to be the most useful of all the bunch for MY PERSONAL strengths.|||I would recommend Jiu-Jitsu and Hapkido - these are styles I am the most familiar with that you have named.
Jiu-jitsu is usually more grappling and competition based - like Judo but with more allowed. If you are preparing for Jiu-Jitsu tournaments you will definitely know how to grapple well and since most fights end up on the ground, add a few pokes to the eyes. Hapkido is less designed for competitions and more for pure self-defense. Your training would include punches, kicks, standing grappling, weapon defense and how to fight with basic weapons such as knife, walking cane and belt/rope. Hapkido is a complete are with elements of the other styles - but unlike the peaceful philosophy or Aikido, Hapkido also includes strikes and more live sparring. Hapkido is more %26quot;strike, takedown, submit%26quot; in the mindset meaning to distract/hurt with a low kick, slap or punch, then throw them to the floor and submit them on the ground with pain compliance such as arm bars, finger bending, wrist locks, neck cranks, chokes, etc. Plus, there is good crossover between these complimentary arts - what you learn in one will not have to be relearned in the other.|||i would definetly recommned ju-jitsu
because its the orgional one harate and jdo wouldnt of exsisted with they took bits from it and made it their own. your right Judo is a %26quot;watered-down version
ju-jisu has everything you are looking for
%26quot;Wrestling/ground fighting/grappling, strikes [but more so hand techniques], learning to cope with/handle pain, and having control mentally/spiritually.%26quot;|||You sound like your into the grappling types of martial art. Hapkido and aikido are jokes. Those are just grabs and push. No attack at all.
Jeet kun do has the attack that you want. Its more of a counter attack, so you still will have your defense with that.
Or somethin that maybe of interest is Chi Lung. Its a breaker form. Its considered schinese street fighting. Thats what i take and i love it.|||There are many styles of fighting, and almost all martial artists will tell you theirs is best, probably because they have grown into the style so it works best for them. Personally I do Karate, which is very effective IF you look around for a club that trains for defense and full contact fighting (some can get spiritual and historical).
In a nutshell its all about hand fighting and blocking, our belief is that your hands are the fastest and we aim to neutralize the situation in the mid range (arms length, imagine a crowded bar).
A core part of Karate-do is self defense joint locks and pressure points, again in that mid range standing fight. If you fall over Karate becomes difficult, but that%26#039;s the point... dont fall over
The more important thing is to find a good club, dont get disillusioned with a whole art from one club,
