That's awesome, I really appreciate that.

Did you guys check out the second picture?

"Mr. Lee- Why you no wear uniform?" (from Enter the Dragon)

I've heard that Bruce always played by his own rules.

Kung Fu takes alot of patience, it's slow to begin because they work more on stances as the foundation. Once you get them down you pick it up pretty quick. I study Hung Gar Kung Fu and love it, it was hard at the start because with karate for instance, you learn punches and kicks very early in your training. It took about 3-4 weeks before I was taught any punches and about 6-8 for kicks, but as I said once you get the foundation right it's a great art form.

Best of luck with whichever style you choose.

 

If there's one thing I've learned over the years from being a Bruce Lee fan, it's that he's just the man... He had it all, brains, talent, speed, intuition... I real role model for me...

 

Good post...

Sucked that Bruce didn't get that "Kung Fu" gig. David Carradine?!!!!

 

Yeah, especially since he wrote it.

There can be only 1

 

I've done taekwondo, aikido, jungsuwon, but found kuksulwon to be the best for me, it suited my fighting style and abilities better plus combined all those arts I already took into one style It also has a hint of kung fu so forms look really nice. I think finding the right style that suits your body, fighting ability is pretty important in deciding a martial art to take.

 

I have trained in renbukai karate, akido, gracie ju-jitsu, and most heavily in tae kwon do. The thing that I liked about my school before I left (well, had to leave due to getting kicked in the back ) is that instead of just throwing the skills out there, the instructors first taught meditation and centering of the self, so that maximum power through maximum relaxtion could be applied, and I'll be damned if it didn't work. The same principle is what applies to Tai Chi, the relaxtion of the body and spirit so that when the time comes to move at great speed, it will be done with great relaxtion, maximizing the effect and reducing the risk of personal injury

I'm very interested now in learning Kendo and Iaido

 

im surprised that so few ppl (apart from LV) have done a form of BJJ. i'm doing it now and its great. i think if u have a boxing or striking basis, u should incorporate a grappling style as well like judo, bjj, wrestling to round out ur skills.

 

good advice

Although the koreans have Hapkido, which is sort of a melding between grappling arts and tae kwon do. Although ju-jitsu teaches a lot more about how to control the movements and energies of your opponent. Very fun, great workout, and very real-world useful I haven't tried judo yet, but I plan on it once I'm all better again. I have a few arts I wanna try

(although, staying on the thread topic, I have no relation to any martial arts greats except Master Yu, 8th dan black belt of Tae Kwon Do and a canadian and international referee. He's even certified to do olympic refereeing if needed. He was my instructor for the first 3 months of my training, and is internationally recognized as one of the best north american tae kwon do instructors.
