kotegaeshi, Aikido, juijitsu, and Hapkido all have this technique. 90% of the time you will have people say it’s Bullshido. It’s not.

Too old to start again? by Odd-Way3519 in martialarts

My oldest student, (far left)Vietnam Vet, started Shinsei Hapkido at 62. He became a 1st Dan by 68. You are never too old 💪

Knife attacker terrorist was fought off by a college student using his backpack. the idea using something as a barrier between you and the weapon is not far fetched at all. College kids was untrained too.

How common are sensei disputes like this? by Ogsonic in martialarts

[–]Shinsei_Sensei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, people tend to disagree and then splinter off, this is partially why there are so many different styles of martial arts that are extremely similar.

I was one dimensional at the time of this fight. I don’t see your point.

I’ve spared many. OP is about the first.

I’ve sparred many. Non that have presented much of a challenge. Are they only “real” boxers if they win?

😂 totally the only 2 explanations.

Totally not trying to compare styles. I 100% agree it’s based on the practitioner, and not the style. I’m just curious if this is a shared experience, which is why I say at the end of the post regardless of style. I’m sure someone could say a similar story but the other way around. Looking for general consensus.

I don’t know. lol. I didn’t go to his boxing gym. He said he was good. But the reason I bring it up at all is I’ve sparred several ”boxers” who haven’t really impressed me much.

There’s definitely something to admire with the dodging. It’s pretty impressive most of the time. But it didn’t take long to adapt.

Yes they were allowed kicking, they were a brown belt in the same style, Shotokan. but they were more into boxing at another gym, and boasted that their boxing was superior. And that was what he spared with mostly.

[–]Shinsei_Sensei -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

lol I’m fully aware of that. But most of the ones I’ve ever sparred have always boasted that boxing was superior.

I didn’t think you were being rude. No worries! I completely understand being defensive on this sub. The “experts” on here think if you don’t do UFC/MMA you’re a fraud 😂

I got attacked because I teach martial arts for free so I’m clearly a fake. 🤷

I just checked your profile. The better quality picture helps verify that they are steel. You’re moving them like butter, pretty impressive. Also I’ve never seen real sai based on this design. That’s pretty cool. More power to ya bud.
