How Much Karate or Kung Fu Are You Going to Need?
Here’s a question I shouldn’t be asking. After all, as a fellow who sells martial arts DVDs, I should be trying to sell you large amounts of everything, right? Because I prefer happy customers, let me answer this question.
You don’t need much, when it comes to martial arts. The truth of the matter is that when a fight starts you only need a few workable techniques. And, sad truth of the matter, most of the martial arts being taught these days are pretty much filler.
Karate, such as Shotokan, Uechi or Shito ryu, has dozens of forms, hundreds of techniques, fancy ways of taking apart an attacker, yet, all you need are the five or six that work. You need to isolate the five or six techniques that suit your mind and body, and then work them until they are second nature. There’s where the true discipline of the martial arts is, in spending the long lonely hours working just the important stuff until it works…every time.
Kung Fu, such as Shaolin, has amazing routines filled with acrobatics, yet, when was the last time you saw somebody do a somersault in a fight, unless he was the one that was getting hit? Or, maybe you want the mysterious chi building exercises of such arts as Pa Kua or Tai Chi or Hsing I, but, again, how many fights have you seen where people use Chi Gung to win?
Or, take kenpo, which has over five hundred death dealing techniques, virtually none of which work in the ring. Or Tae Kwon Do, with its amazing arsenal of kicks, but which kicks are of little value once the distance has closed.Or jujitsu, which has so many throws, but who can afford to take the time to roll around on a parking lot with more than one attacker to handle?
These arts that I have mentioned, you see have weaknesses inherent within them. And it would appear that I am just bad mouthing arts. Actually, there is a madness behind my method. If you are interested in learninghow to defend yoursaelf quickly, find a course, maybe even just hang a punching bag and start pounding.
A few months of calisthenics and sweat, and you will have what you want. This is all you need in the way of workable martial arts. But if you are like me, however, completely immersed in the martial arts, just cannot get enough of every system you see, then I have removed you from my arena, and given myself less distractions in the pursuit of my art.
You see, all of those faults I have mentioned, I study all the arts and figure out ways to fix what is wrong, and I am an artist of The True Art. You want to be able to knock somebody down quick, go away, if you want the real thing, then be willing to go all the way.
