DarklingGlory Saajei My first sparring match was at my first TKD tournament, I got axe kicked in the shoulder and started crying, this was when I was 6. Ever since my opponent have had a very hard time beating me, especially in stand. The first time you sparred was at comp? no practise before it? That's something I can't even begin to imagine...

Lets just say after watching a few Bruce Lee movies I overestimated my ability, luckily that taught me a very valuable lesson in life.

It was a good thing you learned this lesson very early on. I'm surprised they let you into the tournament in the first place.

Damn it was hard becoming a member, well Ill post my introductory statement here first.... Quote: Well Im obviously new, I would just like to say that im happy to be hear and I hope that I learn a lot now that Im a member of this guild. For thoughs of you who dont know, shidokan is known as the triatholon of the martial arts. The style consist of three fighting formulas, one is muay thai kickboxing, the second is Brazilian Jui-Jitsu(grappling) and the third is Shotokan/kyokushin(Bareknuckle) karate. The style is now focused less on the karate kata and more so as the modern MMA combat aspect. Ive been doing it for about 5 to 6 weeks and ive wrestling for a year. I practice shidokan at Trammell Fitness( http://www.trammellfitnessandmartialarts.com/ ) , I did research in the beggining to make sure it wasnt a Mkdojo, and I assure you its not. Its both a rewarding and fun class to be in, though it is very challenging though I will stick with it for sure. The competition is very difficult, there are 3 rounds of each aspect of shidokan with one opponent. Meaning, 3 rounds of muay thai, 3 rounds of BJJ, and 3 of Karate. Eac h two minute rounds. I think you must win against 3 opponents to win the competition. Shidokan is not just for competition but it is a great self defense system as well. Anyway, just wanted to tell you a bit about what Im learning right now. Really its more of an introduction of myself. I wanted to see if there were any shidokan practicioners here, and if so...Or if not...What do you think about the form? Ill start replying to all the interesting post I saw here soon.

The first time was a whole lot easier than the second. We spar full contact, no rules apart from no kicks. (wing chun front kick would just end a bout quickly, as well as the ability to walk).
I was newish so I was partnered with a newish guy who decided his tactic was going to be to not hit me at all. His bad. 3 minutes of me pounding him and he was mocked thereafter.
The second time I took a shot to the temple within seconds of it starting and took time regaining my vision and balance. When I did - it was quite nice of the other guy to back off just to check I wasn't about to die or anything, it really was a great shot - I dropped my guard, stupidly, and he got an equally nice shot straight to the face. Pushed the bars of the headguard into my nose and shattered the bridge.
I was not pretty for some time afterwards.

Without getting into the fray, Bruce Lee, even if he had no recorded fights, should still get a level of respect for popularizing and even showing some begginings of MMA. He trained in a lot of styles. He may not have recorded fights, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a good fighter. Not saying he was the BEST EVARR. I'm not a Bruce Lee fanboy, but I respect him because a lot of his ideas have translated into making good martial arts.
People seem to want to wank off solely to one aspect of martial arts. On one side, you've got the guys going "ZOMG ANY GRAPPLER COULD KILL ANY STRIKING MARTIAL ART". On the other, you've got the strikers who are busy yelling "NYYYARGGH! ONE PUNCH AND IT'S OVER!". In actuality, it's both. Martial arts are for fighting. There are two basic mechanics of human fighting. Why would you shirk one and concentrate solely on the other? It makes no sense. You have to train in both. That's why cross-training is so good.
No style is invincible. Despite what the Gracies might say, they have lost. Even with their love of finding good techniques, the sport based MA styles like Muay Thai, BJJ, Sambo, etc, need to train their students in non-controlled conditions. Or at least try to best simulate it. Otherwise, it's no better than any other pure style.
Just my opinion.
