Interesting idea. I had not thought of that. Instantly achieving something takes away the effort, and the idea that you have actually achieved anything. Just like infinite life is the same as death. Thank you for helping open doors in my mind ☺

Donnie Yen is incredibley humble. I think it was on the news several months ago that he fractured mike Tyson's finger during the filming of Ip Man 3, which seems like its going to be a pretty epic film. Apparently they are creating a CGI Bruce Lee for it:D

How practical are flexible weapons? In particular the rope dart and chain whip. I haven't trained in either but here's my opinion. Trade off between concelibility and damage: while the rope dart's easier to conceal, it does a little less damage then the chain whip, and vice versa But does anyone...

Its a mix of both person and style. E.g wing chin is a style that focuses on speed, while hung gar focuses on strength, but it depends on the persons abilities to make it work. As orange lightning said, it is a mix of both the biomechanics of the art and the abilities of the person.

Nice balance of arms and legs

What kinds? :)

Nice mix of internal and external there :)

I am superpenguin! :penguin:

Plum blossom mantis and Taiji mantis seem nearly identical to me... Can anyone tell me the main differences?

Traditional or modern :)

Nice :)

Hey I have a question. I'm really interested in how the MartialTalk logo was designed and does it have a deeper meaning? I get the yin yang is to symbolise balance but what about the unicorn and the dragon?

Haha

I guess hapkido is both a striking and grappling art

You must have a strong passion for....let me guess....hapkido? ;)

This is instant wishes:) I guess real life has a lot of twists turns, conditioning etc. But this is just whatever you want to learn;)

I see you like internal styles:)

Nice:)

Two and Two only! I'd go for CCK Taiji mantis and BJJ :) I love the taiji mantis philosophy of speed, precision and sticking to ones opponent, and I like the grappling and groundwork of BJJ:)

So it's that the more famous a martial art is the more schools there are that teach the art and the more fake or less professional schools there are? So does that means that rarer old styles are more likely to be genuine?

I have no ideas how the other thread was made.... Clicked post once came up twice...

Just saying this post is purely opinion based for individuals:) As in what works best for you:)

In YOUR opinion, what's the most effective style?

Good point. But those of similar skill could have a different outcome. I mean yes TKD is a very powerful art but in my mind it seems to be a little impractical. But then again it could be mastered. Then again again any art could be mastered... But could one create ones art and make it work. E.g...

Evil smile :)

Then would certain styles be more practical than others? Say for example would krav maga be more practical than tae kwon do in a self defence situation?

I'm just wondering if its the person not the style, then what's the point of MA? I mean I'm a great fan of MA, but does this mean a person who doesn't train MA but creates their own style could be just as effective as if they did MA training? If not then is it actually that some styles could be...

Mr bean - bean

This is not to say which style is better This is just to compare the styles and training time For example some styles are more easily learnt while others are more complex. The argument isn't what style is superior. It is more of training less moves with more time and more moves with less time...

Personally I think Taiji mantis has an advantage as it has both grappling and striking movements, but then again it may take longer to master
