THINK! In Korea, why would they envent those huge flying kicks? ...Answer: to nock an attacker OFF HIS HORSE.

holy crap...............

Strange sense of deja vu...

nothing beats vanilla

The vanilla you get in America is watered-down mcdojo vanilla. For real effective vanilla, you need REAL vanilla beans.

But it's not the ice-cream, it's the person eating it that's important.

Hi Szczepankiewicz (thank god for cut n paste)

My thoughts are that we should really only make fun of people who are close minded. Every style/system has people like this, it's not the style, but the people. We're probably more conscious of the TKD people because there is more TKD around than anything else, and they usually market in a very forward fashion.

I think BJJ is a wonderful system, but I would hesitate to promote it as effective street defence by itself, if only for the simple reason that taking someone to the ground is likely to get you stabbed in the back with a screwdriver by the guys mates. This is the problem. It's a one on one art, whereas some of the striking systems can claim to be more effective against multiple attackers.

At the end of the day, it's up to the individual to either make their system work, or supplement it in some way.

Just my 2 reubels worth

What, Wing chun is effective against multiple opponents? Wow, I gotta try that out some time.

Go for it.
I guarantee you, one class, and you can defeat 20 soccer hooligans at Millwall.
Sue me if they kill you.

Back under your bridge.
