Tien would be a good style to do then.

Yes.

Absolutely!

I'd absolutely love to see it! If you want to go ABSURDLY far back, there are some ancient egyptian wall murals depicting a wrestling match. I think the tomb name was "Beni Hasan."

Please also give some insight as to how martial artists really fought at that time. How their fighting styles, practical movement execution etc

Yessss! She is my new favorite character!

Nakano sensei of Japan Taido is the motion capture for Reina. I watch his videos on KZfaq as well. I would suggest you all check him out if you'd like.

@@astonprice-lockhart7261 he is amazing!!

Nah Asuka and Jun is loosely a take on Japanese jujutsu with all the counters, especially since they were a hakama. They just added some acrobatic moves

@@MarioUcomics Jun originally had more of a Chinese martial arts vibe in Tekken 2.

Exactly what I was thinking.

🎯🎯😂😂😂

It is maybe more related to kevins savate, cause it was thought to be used on a shaky ship

Same

Capoeira was also to be used on naval ports / ships also - so still relevant.

ROFL that is hilarious

That will be explosive

High level humor 😂

😂😂😂😂😂 beast

same lol

when he did a cartwheel I knew he wasn't gonna mess around 😂

Clearly a lot of practice and training, because he is naturally a bit stocky.

He uses his size to his advantage too! Low stances, low center of gravity. His movements are so fluid and awesome in the ring too! amazing dude!

That's because some movements in kicks, especially in Taido are combining them into a flow, like kicking every time in sparring for example

Combine that with bjj ground game and you're set

They have some good moves, but I don't know if I would want it to be my main style.

it's also similar in a lot of silat style but it's triangular instead of square and encourages realtime movement between both upper and lower body, it gets real trippy at first

Snap! However he made it look easy, my attempt went bad, real bad and ended in a mangled heap! He shows great accuracy from those moves

The kokutsu stepping is so cooool, man!

Why would you put your feet together like that

I noticed either. Also Capoeira’s Ginga is Triangle step too. Very interesting things for Korean myself

Capoeira has all of these except the Karate stance. At the base of it Taido utilises the same principles as Capoeira when it comes to attacks and counter attacks...

Do i want to know what Chinese Dog Boxing is?

​@@monkeyboy275bobo8 dog boxing or dishuquan is a southern Chinese martial arts with a wide range of ground techniques and takedown it has kicks while laying on the ground submissions and chokes If you want to learn more just type in dishuquan on youtube and a few videos on it while show up

It's a coincidence. The founder of Taido was a Karate master who used his experience in WWII to develop his Karate into a new style. Some of the moves look like other styles on the outside, but inside the body mechanics and timing are all Karate.

@@monkeyboy275bobo8 look at Karate Nerd visit to China.

@@GermanSausagesAreTheWurst Allegedly some of those Japanese soldiers in WW2 might have been spies. They would travel the world to study other fighting systems. To gain knowledge for their militaries.

I agree. Kevin is a good hype man, but it's a little overboard when we see something silly and he's like "Ahhh, wow, no one else does this, how clever!" There's probably a reason no one else does this.

​@@warldworZagree, and I think it's part of Kevin's focus on being so respectful to the host/speaker. Would be nice to get some more hard questions though

Agreed

Oh wow, I didn't pick up on that.

I understand the ability to generate power n essentially the techniques work against a slower opponent or catching sumone off guard. But like u said, without superior cardio, ur gonna be burning way too much energy. I also cant help but feel theres a lot of room for blindspots susceptible to well timed takedowns, especially if ur slower than ur opponent

Well said 😊 You nailed it on the head... Many have lost the original principles and training methods Wing chun and karate r based on the same styles etc But both have forgotten so much In regards of fighting That is in part to not sparring Mainly not sparring on a regular basis from the start... Most methods are self explanatory But get missed In my kung fu club We had no choice to sparr every lesson ..and mandatory you used the new movements from the forms you had learned or already learnt... By the time I had learned the 1st wing chun form I has used all the movements in sparring All these classes teaching kata But not doing said kata moves in sparring.. It's bizarre... In boxing u use whatever u no In sparring from day one hence y Boxing is effective... . Punching combos to develop basic skills r not combos you use in a fight Or sparring.. They have all been put into tbe same category You h

​@@nicholasgreen339 In my kung fu club We had no choice to sparr every lesson ..and mandatory you used the new movements from the forms you had learned or already learnt... - This is where I disagree with you / this school. You see... until you learn the very foundations of how WC works... you are not really capable of sparring. It becomes a waste of time, and effort.. that could be used to further learn and develop, the other hand techs.. as well as develop your special physical strengths, and correct form. - Heck, many cant even stand in the proper WC stance, for more than 30 seconds, without straightening their Legs (knees should ALWAYS be bent deep, so that they are directly over the toes, at all times.. and the knees in the training stance, should be no more than a horizontal fists apart from each other). If you can not even maintain the proper form for more than 30 seconds... How exactly are you going to maintain that proper form.. when sparring?! The answer: You cant... and You wont. This is why so many Amateur WC duses, are to EASILY taken down the to ground by grapplers. They have straight legs while sparring, and are thus easily toppled over. - I think it should probably take a year before you start to spar in Wing Chun. You should know, and have practiced every hand technique... very well by that point. You should have developed good dual arm coordination. You should have some level of Sensitivity and Relaxation. You should have some physical strength.. able to maintain your extended arm positions, and bent knee positions, without easy + quick fatigue. You should also have a certain level of developed Awareness... that you have developed from all of this time... that otherwise, wouldnt exist. By the time I had learned the 1st wing chun form I has used all the movements in sparring - The WC form, should be one of the very first things to learn, and practice. Its Far most than most think it is. Firstly, its an Introduction to the arts movements / techs. But it goes far deeper than that. The problem is... that the correct way to train the form, has been LOST to many modern WC practitioners. - While MOST of the WC form is meant to be down fast / explosive.. the part of the form that is Repeated 3 times in a Row... is Unique. Its called "Three Prayers to Buddha". Its designed to be performed, VERY SLOW, like a Tai Chi form. It should take about 60 seconds, to fully extend your arms.. and 60 seconds, to fully retract them. All the while, using very deep breathing.. to develop a higher level of Circulation, which develops your bodys tissues, in a very different way. - This Extended the time of that section, from like 2 min total... to a full 16 minutes total. But that isnt where things stop! After you have completed the entire form... you are supposed to keep Repeating the form, without any breaks... for a Minimum of One HOUR. Why? - Part of What makes WC so special, is its use of Internal Power. And part of developing internal power... is to develop Super-Strong Tendons.. rather than mere Muscle based forces. But how can you develop the Tendons? By having your arms relaxed (barely using any muscle at all), yet left extended into the air... for a very long time period. It might take about 30 minutes, before there is enough STRESS to start to really Tax the Tendons. Its that last 30 minutes, when you really strain them... to the point where they will actually start to develop stronger. - Even this, is a very shallow level of explanation. I could write about 2 or more Pages worth of other Developments that take place, from proper execution of the 1st WC form. This includes, developing "Surgical" levels of precision, and control, and Superconscious Awareness (due to more connections that eventually form within the brain). - You have to do the form like this, at least every other day... likely for a consecutive 3 months in a row.. before you will start to notice dramatic differences. Changing your internal body type, is not a fast process... and there is pretty much no way to speed this process up. There are no Shortcuts to Greatness. But not doing said kata moves in sparring.. - WC training has many partner drills, to develop the proper coordination and sensitivity skills. However, once you have developed these skills pretty well.. you then have to test these skills out, in a heavier / sparring context. The thing is... various drills are often not meant to fully represent actual combat... as they are tailored to repeated LOOPING, to maximize speed of developments (rather than having to stop and start, for "Resets"). - The other problem with Modern WC... is that while it trains to deal with WC based attacks.. it doesnt really teach how to deal with typical boxing strikes. How most people today, would likely try to attack you. There are many things that function the same way.. however, there are some things that you might never Realize... and will do the wrong type of responses... due to not having the correct understandings / teachings. For me... I also learned boxing strikes.. and I learned how to defend against them.. on my own. It didnt take me that long, to figure things out.. but not everyone is good at solving such puzzles. - Of course, the biggest Modern issue with WC.. is that they dont teach the Leg Fencing, until very late in the system. Without leg fencing technology.. any Muay Thai / Kickboxer, can easily take out most amateur WC dudes, with a single round kick. I realize why WC's Original training didnt teach this stuff first... but... today, its actually a real problem... and if it doesnt change, then the reputation of the arts failures, may cause it to become Extinct. Especially because many WC practitioners, quit the art, long before learning the Leg Fencing methods. hence y Boxing is effective... - Boxing is Effective? Boxers get hit like +50 times in a single Round. In a real street fight, you cant afford to eat ONE good punch to the head... as the next moment, dudes could be stomping your head on the pavement... into a pile of Goo. Boxing is a fun sport / game. But its not a complete, high level, combat artform. Furthermore, the moment a boxer tried to step without handstrike range.. Id have kicked his kneecap out. Boxing can be considered "Effective" in Comparison to any Combat artform. - Anyway.. I can only partially agree with you. Form, correct body type, and specialized skillsets... all really need a lot of specialized training efforts. If you rush into sparring too quickly, you often develop bad habits / bad form. And many never recover, nor learn past a certain "Sloppy" level of Wing Chun. Bad form, poor body type, unperfected skillsets, and overall improper use of WC.. is why you see so many bad WC sparring failures. Its not merely because of a lack of Sparring. Thats just one Factor, in a very long list. - It looks like part of your comment got lost, so this is all I can reply too.

Yeah that shift @2:54 is similar to D'amato Shift.

Already working on it 😃😃🤫

This is Taido, not Tae; it means "way (do) of the body (tai)"

It seems like a good second style, but I think I would want something more practical for a first style.

There vidoes of taido sparring check em out

I concur. I also disagree with the thought that "If I go tripod and kick, you have no targets to counter." Seems like a swift kick to the gonads is right there.

There's a sparring match between them look it up

Yes, TaiDo is to TaiJutsu the same like JuDo is to JuJutsu. It's just a name though. They aren't necessarily related by lineage.
