What martial art should I go for?

Exactly what I wanted to say.

If you really want an effective martial art, then go for a combination of Boxing and BJJ. But if you're little and small, there's not much you can do against someone who is really much bigger. If you're in the USA get yourself a carrying permit for a gun and learn to use it.

Try ninjitsu its got alot of discipline alot of stuff. On meditation in !
HAIL ZEUS!

Western and Japan-imported martial are really poor in content. This is because Western martial arts such as boxing and kick-boxing were created with xtard mindset. Xtard mindset breed nothing good or truly artistic/martial. Martial arts imported from Japan were imported when the Americans were illegally in Japan harassing them during WW2: Japanese master did not teach them anything of value. So, what we have in the west is, at most, incomplete, poor and of little use.

From my perspective, Chinese martial arts are the ones to have retained more of its rich culture and prowess. They are not only external but also external as they are supposed to be. Some RIGHTFULLY involve joints and fasciae preparation BEFORE starting any actual combat training, which is the proper way to go. This foundation stage is usually iron shirt/body or a variation of it.

This is obviously not true of all Chinese martial arts. Some are just for show and, in general, it is best to find a Chinese-born and raised master as most Western so-called masters are not psychologically qualified for training martial arts, due to xtart, new (c)age and buddhist brainwashing.

In general, a true martial art will have these two important points among many points to focus on:
:arrow: Calculated preparation (for both the mind and the body) as opposed to rushed preparation
:arrow: Slow and steady learning that leads to long-term (and sometimes lifelong) gains as opposed again to rushing through stages

With muay thai you can destroy bigger people with a single kick to the knee. Bjj you can submit bigger opponents but is difficult if they know what they are doing. Boxing is pretty good too. These three are probably the best. Never seen wing chun or krav work, hapkido or judo might work too joints are weak.
Been doing martial arts all my life

With common sense you can use one kick in the groin and remove yourself fast from the situation. :D

It has also been disproven beyond any doubt, and our HP's too have written sermons on how ridiculous it is multiple times.

This has no place on our forum and I suggest you gain some common sense and leave this flat earth idiocy behind.

Read the sermons and posts written about it to gain sense where you have none, and just generally understand reality on the level of an average 3 year old. Believing in a flat earth this day and age is beyond delusional.

Change or delete your profile picture and delete the stupid link in your bio while you're at it.

If you don't like the truth that's fine. I didn't post the picture and link to convince you, I posted it for those who have the ability to think for themselves to do their own research. The globe earth has not only never been proven, it has been completely destroyed by the flat earth community time and time again. You can't have a globe without curve and the globers have never proven curvature in any capacity. The video I posted clearly proves that the earth is a flat, motionless plane, with a small local sun.

If you think you are so right I encourage you to sign up and debate........NathanOakley1980..........https://www.youtube.com/c/NathanOakley1980c/featured...... .....or you should shut up. The earth is not a spinning cannon ball flying through space and their is no real science that proves it. All real science shows that it is a flat motionless plane.

Looking foward to hearing your debate. :lol:

Crippler: I found this theory that only existed ever since the Qu'ran was written, because it was inside of it and was another of before that. It must be legit!
Anyone with some knowledge of science and/or spiritual ability: Are you okay? Shall we remind you this is Satan's abode and not a islamic forum?
Crippler: No, I'm okay. *buries his head in the sand*

Meanwhile, an astral projector is eating astral popcorn and choking on them because of incessant laughing, before flying outside the planet and visiting Pegasus.

Can we now go back to martial arts?

The curvature can be seen from about kilometer upwards...

I jump in this topic because I am looking to learn at least the basics of a martial arts, for self-defence and also for mind training.
I read Wing Chun is aimed for weaker people. My right arm and shoulder have a nervous problem that cannot be fixed, they work 50% but are quite weak and cannot lift heavy weights.
I need to build my physical confidence and I have trained my legs' muscles to be strong for this reason, while upper area of the body is weaker. I am looking for a martial art or self-defense technique that is centered on legs, rather than arms, unfortunately I have no knowledge of this.

What size in length are your legs in porpotion to other parts of your body? This matters alot since your physical reach is important. It makes not much sense to bulk up the legs if other areas of your maneuverability suffer from that.

Other than that, I would say prevention beats the cure. So if your upper body is 50% disabled from one side, then it is best to avoid head on confrontation for as long as possible since fighting requires upper body movements, thus your upper body abilities. Since your left side is okay, then that would mean that you should use movements in such a manner that you "hide" your right side in combat and prioritize movements so that you can rely on you strengths while ignoring your weakness. Easier said than done, I know...

I can not recommend anything specific. I would in stead advise you to investigate and experiment with an open mind, and come to conclusions on your own.

Let's say my leg ankle-hip is 100, in proportion hip to head (top) is 80 and arm length is 125 (fingers top to shoulder)

Fully agree, this is what I was wondering about.

Just realized after typo : arm lenght top fingers-shoulder 75

Kung Fu

I am Japanese and I practiced martial arts as a teenager. Nihon Kempo (a martial art used by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces), Judo, Jujitsu, and Kendo. I was young and I wanted to protect myself and what I cared about. But eventually I came to see that there was no point in fighting physically and hurting each other.

Generally speaking, a woman cannot defeat a man, a small person cannot defeat a large person, and an old person cannot defeat a young person. Furthermore, one person cannot take on many, and a person with nothing can't beat a person with weapons and tools. That cannot usually be overridden by physical techniques.

In old Japan, there was a master swordsman who was said to be undefeated for his entire life. The meaning of "undefeated" is that he fought and survived. His name was Musashi Miyamoto. In his later years, he followed the path of Zen instead of the sword. Zen is a spiritual (mental) path that includes meditation.

However, that doesn't mean that martial arts are without meaning. One of the lesser known purposes of martial arts is to control fear. It is about training the mind to correctly assess a situation and take the best possible action. That includes retreating without fighting.

Martial arts activates the lower chakras involved in fighting and survival. The energy increased mainly in the sacral chakra is directed to the arms and legs. Practicing punches and kicks involves practicing breathing techniques without being aware of it. Also, imagining yourself and your opponent (shadow boxing) is a visualization training. In other words, martial arts training is very similar to spiritual training.

I know only Japanese martial arts, but probably the same is Chinese martial arts.

Thank you for your testimony. Would you care to elaborate on the highlighted statement?
Whenever I am about to get engaged into a conflict that may or may not end up in an actual fight. I always feel a huge pressure in my base/sacral area, sometimes in the heart. Is this what you are talking about? I always thought it had something to do with fear of the outcome and whether it ends up being an actual fight for survival or not. Do you know of a way to speed up the overcoming of this? I am hoping that improving my Natal Mars will work in this as well, as it deals with courage. But I was wondering if there was something else I could do besides getting back to Martial Arts which at the moment I really don't have the time to do so.

Traditionally, in Japanese martial arts, the "lower abdomen" is emphasized. This area is called "Tanden". Tanden is located in the center of the body, below the navel, which is the location of the second chakra. In martial arts, both punches and kicks are trained to move around this point as the center or axis. This is the center of gravity that keeps the body balanced. The posture of standing with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and center of gravity lowered is seen in all martial arts and sports. From this posture, the body is twisted to release a punch or kick. This is what I mean by directing energy from the second chakra to the arms and legs.

Now, if you find yourself in a situation where you have to fight, your adrenal glands release adrenaline, your heart rate increases, and your muscles contract to protect your body. At the same time, our thoughts stop.This is the state of chi (energy) being drained from the Tanden (second chakra). Adrenaline relieves fear, but it does not control it. In martial arts, by bringing this chi back to the Tanden, we regain calmness and control of the body.

To put it simply, it is accomplished by focusing on the lower abdomen. So, I realized that strengthening the inner muscles of the abdomen and the Archer Pose in yoga have the same effect. When I extend my index finger forward in Archer Pose, I can feel the energy leaving my fingertips.

Interesting, I'll work on that. Due to the nature of my profession, I have to run towards danger, rather than the opposite. And due to my astrological configurations (weak mars etc), this means that I am not really the person best suited for this job, however, being in such situations, forces me to overcome my own limitations. I have to create courage where sometimes there is none, and am forced to dominate fear and the barriers in my own mind. When the thoughts stop, like you mentioned. I will take your advice and work on these things. Thank you
