What's your styles weaknesses

[Kickboxer101]

I thought this would be a good idea. Everyone here should know there's no perfect martial art and even our own do have weaknesses I've always believed you should tell yourself what these weakness are instead of making excuses for them that why you can develop your own soloutions to these weaknesses.

In my opinion kickboxing weakness is obviously the main thing no ground game. Also when it comes to the street you have to think about your defence and realise you may have to do something different to the ring because obviously in the ring you have big gloves on but in the street you don't so your covering won't protect as much

The system in which I train does not have weaknesses. It can be applied in all situations.

However, my skills are less than perfect.

My style's weakness is that it is too strong. There are far too many accidental deaths even when training solo patterns.

Sometimes awesome, and sometimes ick?

Yeah, it is a gamble. The name in front of Kenpo is what you need to pay attention to; and, then you gotta worry about the guy running the school.

Last I checked (as we do very similar styles) White Crane doesn't have any ground fighting, which is why a lot of White Crane practitioners also train in Dog Style too.

Considering that the founder won a competition where 100 martial artist competed for a military position, I would have to say that there is probably very little weakness in the system and at such a high skill level, I wouldn't know what those weaknesses are. Considering that the founder of the system lost a lot of fights before he became such an expert, I would have to say that any weakness in the system is going to be based on the person using the system. I'm no where at the same level as the founder was. So any weakness in the system is going to solely be from my abilities and capabilities as a practitioner and not the fighting system.

I think like you say it is a good idea to develop your own solutions. Every one come with different criteria for what is a weakness to them.

However, do you resolve the perceived weakness in your system by adopting another system or its techniques?

I would be interested in what was your solution to what you have noted is a weakness for you in your kickboxing? like you said "no ground game"

Also can you elaborate on what it was informed you that this was in fact a weakness for you?

Thank you

In martial arts training I always follow the rule of never encourage your weaknesses, i do agree no one is perfect but a little imperfection helps to attain perfection in martial arts and karate. I use to experience some balance issue in beginning due to over weight problem but with passage of time i cover it so far by proper and quality practicing and exercise.

I would love for ours to also have some sort of dog brothers style stick and knife element.

Maby the head gear of kudo so we could get a bit schoolyard with headbutts and stuff.

I know kickboxers who fought with mma gloves in a promotion called caged muay thai. And i asked them what special prep they did for a fight with little gloves.

Ad they did nothing. The skills transfered straight over.

Depends on how you look at it, but no, not a weakness of the method there

Where do you get your info on a lot of white crane people training dog style? I certainly do not, and I would have no idea where to find a teacher of that style...well...other than internet porn sites, and I don't need instruction in that method, I understand it quite well...

And which white crane are you referring to? I do the Tibetan method. They are not all the same.

 

[Flying Crane]

I'd say how one answers this question probably depends on how you perceive your style. If you see it as a collection of techniques, then it is easy to see holes or weaknesses.

However, if you see it as built on principles that help you understand how to engage the body to deliver any technique, in a very powerful and effective way, then you can do whatever you want, with any technique, no matter what kind of technique it is. Then, there are no holes or weaknesses.

Sure, you would still need to learn the various techniques, but that part can be easy, it's up to the individual to get that experience, but there is no weakness of the system, only experience and skill of the person

Go for pro cycling then, lots of head butts going on in the Criterium de Dauphine at the moment, quite blatantly so. got to be a good thing if you can head butt someone while riding a bike fast. Orica Green Edge doing well though.

Honestly, I don't think that the focus of a system (whether to the detriment of other areas, or not) implies that the rest is a "weakness"… after all, no art is designed for all situations and contexts (it would be impossible to be so, really)… and there is the concept that the more detail you try to put in (to the different "requirements" to be covered), the more you miss out. After all, you're talking about kickboxing here… but you're missing a hell of a lot.

In my opinion kickboxing weakness is obviously the main thing no ground game. Also when it comes to the street you have to think about your defence and realise you may have to do something different to the ring because obviously in the ring you have big gloves on but in the street you don't so your covering won't protect as much

Okay, no ground game… nor group defence… weapon defence… weapon usage… verbal de-escalation… body language awareness… pre-fight indicators… HAOV awareness… escape strategies… legal ramifications… psychological ramifications… and about a thousand other things…

Me too. I mean, BJJ is so awesome, if there's a weakness, it must be me. Right?

 

[Ironbear24]

American kenpo karate, no ground defense.

Judo. Not much striking.

Shou shu. Little ground defense. (Tbh Shou shu is a lot like kenpo but has more trapping and low kicks.)

Wrestling, not protecting your head enough.
