If you're interested in kenjutsu, also consider shinkendo. It's taught at my dojo, and I enjoy it. We do iaito technique/handling as in kenjutsu as well as bokken sparring.
thanks matveimediaarts. I'll be sure to be strong enough to unite the martial arts world. Thank you all for your guidance
...Look, kid. I admire the fact you have dreams and ambition, all power to you. But you have to be realistic about your goals in life. And do some reseach. ....And join a good dojo.
Dear me... Have a week break from the forums and come back to this.... You will get nothing out of your routine as it stands apart from joint problems later in life. Don't worry about fixing the MA world, that is out of your reach at present, concentrate on getting a foundation and build on that, review that in say thirty years. Self training is going to cause more harm than good as you will have to break all that incorrect muscle memory you have drilled into yourself, also dont mess around with weapons without formal training. What training is available near to you? I say this as it is important that you can get easily to and from training as you will be more likely to stick with it after the honeymoon period ends, we all experience it at some point, Stick to one system for a few years before thinking of cross training, I say this as an avid cross trainer. Good luck. Dan93
Yo, I'mma be that one guy who doesn't unite with the rest of martial arts just to **** the rest of you suckas off.
Y'know, I think I'd actually really respect a martial artist who got to where he was without a teacher. It wouldn't matter if he was self-taught, so long as he could kick some serious... serious. With that in mind Mugen, I think you should start taking some amateur MMA matches or, better yet, underground unsanctioned martial arts matches immediately. Just be sure to toughen up first. You might be able to throw a punch, but unless you know how to take a punch, you'll never go anywhere. Fortunately, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has a great training method.
Thanks Philosoraptor :') nice name btw, and cool profile pic too but just asking what would it mean if one does complete my insane training regime?
Is this Okay 2 Okey guys this is my new regime. I call it my Earth level training Starting 1st week 10 push ups 10 knuckle push ups 10 fingertips push ups 10 tiger claw push ups 10 sit ups 10 reverse crunches 10 crunches 10 seconds of v shape 10 squats 10 siff squats 10 sets knee to chest 10 sets heel to butt 10 toe raising 10 (you know the crescent feet? the one you use for taekwon-do side kick. yeah raise that part instead of toes) 10 seconds middle split 10 seconds each for left and right split after the first week i add five to everything until i reach 100 how's this?
There's a reason there are different martial arts, just like there are different fruits or desserts. You can enjoy each one individually, and you can combine them to make sometheing even more delicious. But you can't make them all the same - and apple will never be an orange - but why would you want to? Each offers a new flavor to your diet. Look at it that way. Get a trainer and try out your first "fruit". If you like it, stick with it for a few years and get good. Then branch out. Good luck.
That you are training for quantity over quality? That you don't really want advice, even if asking for it? That you don't understand the concept of overtraining? That you want to ingrain bad habits and not learn from a qualified instructor? That you are choosing self admitted insanity over an inteligent workout? That you want to unite a community you don't really understand in the first place?
I think you need to invest in either some proper training or else a proper manual Try "never gym less" by Ross Enamait
