Poll: Your fighting style

[Superhyperactiveman]

I started off as a Tae Kwon Do fighter at the age of 8. After I got my second degree black belt, I felt a need to branch out, so I started learning Muay Thai and BJJ. So... martial art.

 

[dalek sec]

I fight from a distance, I face my foes through the scope of a very high power sniper rilfe three towns over. Yes I am a coward.

 

[FinalGamer]

Taekwondo, so I guess that along with some dirty fighting including biting tactics.

 

[Lynx]

but it only works on people who are just as stupid as people who practice judo themself...
i kid, what im trying to say is judo doenst work in real life

If you've practiced it long enough to have developed extremely quick reflexes, then yes it helps (got a bf who's indeed quite fast), but I think we would both agree that you probably wouldn't make it using only that. Since martial arts use rules.


OT: How about ugly?

 

[Svizzara]

I fight unfairly. I'll use whatever weapons I have on me (I always have my Swiss Army Knife with me), and also my surroundings.

 

[Spudgun Man]

Bar Brawl!

Of course it is not a type of fighing that involves much technique apart form guard your spuds and kidneys.

 

[The Shade]

My fighting style would include one of two strategies:

1. Run away, fast.

2. Bring tons of dudes. Then run away, fast.

I'm actually a master of Con-Den-Su, i use the power of condensation against my enemies...confused, you should see my water bill.

 

[Calistarius]

→+↓+X always worked for me, people used to say it was cheating that I froze them then attacked... I maintain its not cheating, just there not good enough with there combos

 

[Azraellod]

Biggest load of bollocks I've ever heard. Unless you come up behind them and use the Master Lock, but then you can't hit them yourself.

maybe i didn't word it right.

i catch the opponents arms, get too close for them to kick, then shift one of my arms to their neck.

it works far better then it sounds, although it's still not great. i'm weak though, so it's the best i can manage.

 

[Starke]

Historically I'm prone to exploiting the environment, disarms and disabling blows (usually by bouncing heads off of walls, pavement, ect.), I know enough to be able to cripple people quickly, but it's never come to that.

Throw you're weight foreward, which knocks them off balance, potentially raising your legs, then spring back, it'll send them sprawling every time.

thanks for the advice, but it's barely relevant anyway.

i only fight in exceptionally rare circumstances.

 

[SlasherX]

Really other should be the only one chosen since you should really just win when your fighitng, aim for the nuts, eyes, and nose you will win everytime

No, that's how you break about 80% of grapples like the one you're describing. And why you're tactic is pretty poor if you're dealing with anyone with more than about 2 hours of combat training.

yeah...

if you do that, we are both falling over. i don't let go quite that easily.

also, why are you bothering to criticize my fighting style? i already admitted it wasn't very good.

 

[LilGherkin]

Like my comedy - improv.

 

[Jark212]

All of my fighting skills are strictly defensive...

Because you're trying (intentionally or otherwise) to sound like you're a better fighter than you are.

The first thing they ever told us about ground fighting is, sooner or later, every fight will end up as a ground fight. If you've got the weight advantage, there really isn't a lot of incentive to put it off. So, if you grappled me, for instance, I wouldn't have an incentive not to put us both on the floor.

I'm telling you, the style you're describing is a terrible idea across the board. If you want to learn how to fight, that's fine, most police departments offer self defense courses for that very reason, but, you're better off doing that, then trying something that can be easily turned around on you, and in a real fight, get you seriously injured.

 

[Starke]

I'm a sneaky bastard who uses a mangled cross-breed of martial arts, infused with surprising strength and inbuilt brutality and inventive evil. Basically, I'll pull something from about every martial art, or simply strike out with a cheap but crippling shot. Pressure points are a favourite

Which Arts have you trained in?

Kung Pow!

"That's like... wow, he just punched a hole in that guy's stomach, I mean that's something you don't see every day!"
