If you would have to practice only one martial art, what would it be?

I'd stick to Modern Arnis. (pun noted)

It would really depend on the teacher. But looking back it's hard to say that it would be a certain styl. For each periode in my life there was a dominant style, and right now it's aikido: Nishio style.

Kenpo - following SGM Parker line. That would include most off-shoots.

Now to the reason why. Kenpo from that lineage tends to follow a logical path compared to a traditional path. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule.

I know this is a little off thread, but how can traditional not be logic? Or are you talking about a special form of logic?

HI All,

I would study Balintawak, for it will take
me a life time to get it all 100% Correct.

Yet, I enjoy it so much that I cannot stop!

Yari,

(* Note: Please if this post differs from you
history told to you, please do not take it
personnaly, only post it as you see it or have
been told. Thank you *)

Anciong Bacon was taught by the Seivadras (Sp)
before WWII. After WWII the Seivadras Ancoing
Bacon abd the Canetes and some others I believe
formed the Doces Pares. Due to some internal
issues GM Bacon left the Doces Pares. GM Bacon
opened the 'Balintawak Self-defense Club' on
Balintawak Street in Cebi City Cebu PI. Many
people stared calling it Balintwak as a shorter
name for the club. Then the CLub name become the
name of the art.

BM Bacon taught many many people, Villasin, Buot
Lopez, etc.,... . I will get a more comlete list
and post later tonight.

Balintawak is Stick Fighting, and after you
gain a certain level of understanding, you then
learn the emptyhand translations.

Like I said more later after I check my notes.

Thanks, I get the picture. And I think I've heard about Doces Pares before when practicing Modern Arnis.

I'd stick with Chen Tai chi - it gives one a chance to cultivate internal energy so I can live to be old and wise - also the martial applications are challenging and usually somewhat disguised so I can do some serious whomping when I'm old as well :D
