Our Outlook

Okay so this blog is essentially going to be an accumulation of ideas that we have discovered through various forms of martial arts. Some martial arts we have studied and that we like are:

  • Western Boxing 
  • Tae Kwon Do
  • Muay Thai
  • Brazilian Jujitsu 
  • Kenpo
  • Wing Chun
  • Aikido
  • Qigong
  • 52 blocks 
      And many more. We don't strictly practice any of these arts exclusively, but instead see what works for us individually and adapt it to our bodies. For example, adapting the power of a Muay Thai kick without using the typical thai boxing stance or getting the power out of punches that Boxers do but still being open to kicking someone or using joint locks.

     We don't necessarily believe that any one style is "the best", there are situations wherein one style may have an advantage over another though. For example a BJJ practitioner has an advantage in a 1 on 1 fight against someone in a secluded area, or in the ring, but not when that other guy has three friends around the corner. This doesn't mean that BJJ doesn't have techniques and practices to offer, it just means that other martial arts are required in order to fully defend yourself in a real life scenario.

Comment and let us know some of the styles you have practiced or you think are interesting and want to talk about!
