hmmn funny ra kay basehan ninyo usahay sa dangerous is mga prominent fighting styles sa UFC or other MMA sport circles like K1,IFL etc...especially the fighter styles of recent years...UFC is a sport which means covered na xa within a set of rules making most dangerous/lethal moves invalid...dili gani allowed small joint manipulations like grab and break sa usa ka digit sa finger nor eye gouge...in-short, without disrespect to MMA fighters/players, UFC/IFL rulings nowadays are very limiting to the fighter's art nga dili nimo makita ang ilang full potential sa ilang fighting style...
and another thing...kana bang mu-ingon nga wala'y labot ang pusil sa martial art... murag wa man mo kasabot unsa ang meaning sa "martial" uy... "pertaining to war" bitaw na, from root word mars, roman god of war...so dapat ANYTHING goes...ngano diay sa gubat, ilabay diay nimo ang imong pusil kay kabalo ka ug some deadly martial arts? hehehe krav maga is one art that incorporates gun handling with hand-to-hand combat btw...or maybe inyo ra gi mean nga hand-to-hand fighting ra...
IMO wala'y lamang wala sad lupig if in terms of technique and basehan...i mean boxing has their punches, arnis have their sticks and joint manipulations, jiujitsu has their locks and chokes, ninjutsu and kungfu have their dim-makh or pressure points, and joint manipulations and throws too come to that, same as aikido, aikijutsu and judo...karate, muay thai and yaw-yan have their devastating strikes and hard body training, taekwondo, as well as kungfu, is prized for reaction and striking speed...and all the other martial arts have their special points too...it will all boil down to experience, presence of mind, and luck if mag brawl na tanan nga practicioners of aforementioned martial arts in a specific area. but if say pareha ra ilang experience in terms of number of ACTUAL fights not official tournaments or sparring...and pareha sila blackbelt or equivalent sa ilang art, "presence of mind" and "luck" ra ang mu-determine sa outcome...also determining facter sad diay ang location...kay naay uban nga arts nga mas applicable in some locations while others are not so effective...
...hmmn unsa pa...ahh.. JKD...clarify ra ko...Jeet Kune Do is not a martial art..it is a philosophy to combine/distill all the other martial arts, more like the foundations for today's MMA...which can be summed in one line kung si Bruce Lee pa.."take what works and use it"...an example would be: ngano man mu-limit ka sa imong skill sa jiujitsu locks and chokes or if you yourslef know that kuyaw sad ang striking power sa yaw yan and muay thai?...you don't limit yourself to one style, one discipline...instead apply what you know that works in which situation...so if anybody tells you that what he is demonstrating is what is "exactly" taught in a certain JKD school...even if he is a JKD instructor himself...then he is waaaaaay off from what Bruce Lee was teaching..lol...to re-quote the phrase posted at the start of this thread: "your truth is not my truth, my truth is not yours"...
hehehe senxa bored ra ko sa balay one afternoon...
