Cool man. I have been a practitioner of Martial Arts for 12yrs. now. Keep up the good work.

Right on! What do you study? If you don't mind me asking....

Ahhh, combat theory, philosophy and application. *nods* Makes perfect sense.

Why...Thank you good sir.

I am a practitioner of the Art of Combat. Sounds funny, but I am not focused on one particular style of Martial Arts. However, I'm not a Mix-Martial Artist either, for to me, that is not the answer(taking this style, then taking another, and another). A sculpture does not start with a blank slate, and add clay to it. They start with the clay and chip away to create a masterpiece(Analyzing those arts, and stripping away the fancy mess to get to what works). That's my approach to the Arts. I analyze a technique, and try to define if it would work for me, and if it would work in the real world. If not, then I find no use for it. I'm more into utilizing my entire body by the most efficient means. If I was to just study a particular style, then I would be governed by the limitations of that style. My ultimate goal is to combine my natrual instinct of defense with my learned techniques and ability.

Nice! Who, may I ask, forged your blade? I am also a practitioner and afficiando of the &quot;made-up&quot; arts.

"made-up" ?

Yep, take a little of this, a pinch of that and kick some ass. No real structure when it comes to streetfighting. I've just barely learned the defense for that womanly &quot;karachi&quot; jewel shot!

So true. It's also not the size of the dog in the fight; it's how much you want to kick your opponent's ass. I also beat the heavy bag and I'm into powerlifting. Gotta train the mind as well - I used to have a bad temper and when I lost it I'd lose. I'm my own worst enemy. How about you?

True, streetfighting has no structure, but it's a little more complicated than just "taking a little of this, and a pinch of that" to be a good fighter. You have to understand the value of timing, rhythmn, speed, coordination, control, the use of your tools, ect...

Exactly....Anger blinds. You use that to your advantage. If you can frustrate your opponent, you gain the upper hand. &quot;The mind is the General of your body(your army). If you upset the General, he can not organize his army.&quot; -- Bruce Lee
