Thanks stranger/fellow imgurian:)!!!!!!

This doesn't mean shit to me until I see this guy actually fight rather than demonstrate strikes and throws.

Savate look bad ass. Want to kick. Must learn kick good....
NorthCrown
Savate is pretty sick..people end up with broken arms in higher end matches..
escudonbk
Savate is done using the special pointed boots and they use them to kick with the toes, a lot. Not the best idea barefooted.
Vectron
But, you'll probably be wearing shoes if you need it for self defense. Karate also has similar kicks bfoot where you raise the toes upwards.
RyukR
My best friend does savate. It's pretty savage.
infiniteflux
All those kicks exist in most school of kungfu, tae kwondo, karate etc. most of his moves can be found in most kung fu schools too.
Macrobian
But it's french, so they probably teach you to kick while baking delicate cookies and drinking lattes.
circlebreaker
I think it was built around ship-based fighting (rigging & railings for handholds), which is why it's so leg-strike focused.

Savate was actually developed when for a period of time bare hands were classified as weapons.
circlebreaker
I've heard that too. Something about legal precedent and open-handed strikes being considered altogether different, by law/ courts.

orangemarmaladesky
That or Filipino Martial Arts. Krav Maga's knife defense really only works against people who don't know how to use knives.
KunFayyaKun
Pretty much. Krav Maga relies on the other person not knowing how to fight or defend. 75% is just crotch shots.
Crazynastyasshoneybadger
You're better off learning muay Thai if you want to kick gooder than your oppenent.

idk I've seen some pretty good capoeira knockouts :P
BronzeLeaguePro
There have been Savateurs kicking the SHIT out of Muay Thai fighters. Savate is fucking savage.
Metempiric
Savate is like Muay Thai. It's full contact and aimed to KO the opponent. It's only as good as the person using it but that means it can 1/2
Ryebread91
Does systema have anything to do with "systematic" movements?
circusactone
Not really. It's more a way of being. @PurplePixieUK is correct. Movements follow one another without tension.
PurplePixieUK
It builds and works the entire mind/body emotional system from the inside out. Good movement is one of its 4 central 'pillars'
Ryebread91
So similar to Bruce Lee's "Be like water"?

(4) seconds. Just completely destroyed them and he felt terrible that he had to.
Conflict
(3) hurt you all." They laughed" He said "really, I don't want to" then when they tried to grab him he knocked all 3 older kids within a few
Conflict
(2) and these old kids came up and were basically going to take what little money they had and this guy goes "Guys I don't want to have to
Conflict
My Dad had a friend growing up that was a multiple level(don't remember exactly) black belt in karate. One time him and my were walking home
Nord4483
What do they have to prove? I think that'd be why
beeratius
Plus in some places you can get sued for having martial arts experience even if you're defending yourself, if you hurt the other guy
lordmaxwell
JKD is not a martial art, it is a philosophy of martial arts, he's showing off Wing Chun, which was Bruce Lee's primary MA, he started JKD.
KunFayyaKun
wing chun is awesome, though.
grovberg
I get what you're saying, but this isn't a meaningful distinction, just pedantry.
lordmaxwell
It's traditional vs adaptation, that's the distinction.
grovberg
Except that you can go to a school of JKD and learn JKD, which includes this philosophy. How is this a meaningful distinction?
lordmaxwell
Unquestioned tradition, or evolution. Jkd is like water, as Lee would say, it is personal, it is not routed in a single tradition.
lordmaxwell
Take what is useful, discard what is not. That's the philosophy, every move is borrowed and adapted from another martial art.
Franksinatroll
In the Tao of JKD it directly prohibits having schools, though describes them as inevitable. Like scams.

HungLikeHorseFly
He would, anyone who has trained MMA or has general martial art knowledge knows what he is doing is for show mostly and not practical. 1/2
HungLikeHorseFly
Bruce Lee was the same, his speed was great but what he did would not work on people who trained legit martial arts who fought. 2/3
HungLikeHorseFly
That is why he never competed in anything in his life, he was an actor with some flashy skills. 3/3
andrewtbrown
What? Source? Bruce Lee was a pioneer of mma, JKD is a mixed martial art and it is said that he took part in quite a few underground fights.
HungLikeHorseFly
Source is first hand experience, I have trained Jiu Jitsu, kickboxing and general MMA for over 5 years. It is joked about.. 1/2
HungLikeHorseFly
fighting back especially someone who knows that they are doing then you will see a whole new look to what he is doing. 3/3
andrewtbrown
Yes, this guy is flashy and I would not punch a helmet except as distraction/leverage, I believe Bruce Lee, did more than you think for mma
HungLikeHorseFly
among actual fighters about martial arts like this. They look flashy and everything when the person is standing still but if someone is 2/3

Ah yes popping and locking, right alongside twerking and whipping as the deadliest martial art forms of all time

That's no judo, judo is about moving with your opponent and using their movement to bring them down. There's no hitting.

Well, he does practice multiple martial arts. Hi did hit the guy but that was still a legit judo throw.
Renda

KunFayyaKun
judo know nothing.
RNeao
I think what you're saying is aikido.
KnucleheadFlow
Ju and aiki are different but similar concepts. Ju is what happens when you quit dicking around and actually try to fight someone with it.
milkgoneoffbigtimestylee
To cut a long story short, Judo is a distilled form of a much broader martial art system and does incorporate strikes called atemi-waza.
Fivefingerheist
Really still a archaic form, not really taught to anyone but the most senior (or supposed to be) Judokas.
milkgoneoffbigtimestylee
That is irrelevant. Point is that Judo has strikes. Additionally, would you identify the art with what they teach newbies or seniors?
rawheadrex0508
Ahh yes, I see you know your judo well.

There are strikes in judo, they're just not allowed in competition
SweetZombiJesus
Isn't it that Ju-Jitsu, that Judo is based on, contains strikes, but judo, being the sport version, does not use them?
KnucleheadFlow
As a judo guy, very VERY few places actually practice them.
2flower
Have to agree, I never seen hits in Judo before coming to the U.S.
IHaveABridgeToSell
I saw a judo book by a US "teacher" that had various punches and kicks, including a hilarious two-handed punch. Probably McGyver-inspired.
IHaveABridgeToSell
No. Only strikes are to pose for strike-defense techniques and katas. Some idiots try to include strikes and kicks, but it's not judo.
BruceJi
If it's in the kata, then that makes it Judo.
IHaveABridgeToSell
Kata requires you to eat, heart to beat etc, but they are not part of the kata. Judo's pair katas need moves outside form that are not judo.

Axaxax, have you actually practiced it ? I think not, otherwise your body at least would take it seriously
finch181
It is, but it's also heavily modified.
AstrologyR
Yeah, something about clumsy and uncoordinated according to the wiki. Also, she doesn't even look like she's doing the stuff I saw on YTube
finch181
It probably has something to do with the fact that people who are small in stature can do systema adequately. So that's what they chose.
KnucleheadFlow
I wish you were kidding. Systema is a con.
Wombatant
You do know it's just a general word meaning "system"? You could just as well call Judo or boxing a "systema".
KnucleheadFlow
Sure, but you and I both know what it actually means vis a vis "martial arts".
Wombatant
Yeah, but there's two uses. One is the hooy-systema and the other is just general word similar to "martial arts" for some odd slavic reason
KnucleheadFlow
True fighting russians do judo, sambo, wrestling or boxing. They don't call that shit systema.
Wombatant
Weird that you are downvoted for that, you are entitled to your point of view.
Wombatant
Not saying there aren't any con-men teaching systema, but I doubt they are more prevalent than in any other martial art or contact sport.
EndgameArchitecture
Then I would love to see you put a guy who practices that against the guy who practices boxing, wrestling, Jiu Jitsu. No contest.
KnucleheadFlow
Believe it or not some martial arts & combat sports have methods that are tested against other practitioners. If you're teaching systema 1/2
Wombatant
True, but even those tried and tested ones have frauds. Since there's no ultimate authority to say who can claim to be a teacher of style X.
Wombatant
I've seen a couple people using the systema title and their stuff were nothing alike. I'd say the title alone doesn't mean it's shit.
EndgameArchitecture
How many practitioners of Systema are world champions?
KnucleheadFlow
you're either a fraud or delusional. It's rotten at its very core

Watch the video in the comment below. He is SO. FUCKING. FAST.

I think a part of it has to do with the frame rate of the camera. He is fast, and the camera just can't keep up, making him look even faster

121AAD
muscle memory, train enough and you can do 3-4 punches in a second, played any competitive sport that requires speed, seconds are slow
grovberg
I'm not suggesting anything about his speed one way or another, but these GIFs are very clearly moving faster than realtime.
ticklefin
the last one is faster the normal. the way the people move is a little off.
nycterelis
They're not. Watch them a few times. Hes just fast

When you train movements for many years they become muscle memory. Basically just keep doing it over and over until you're fast as fuck.

TorSverre
I agree, but then again he's passed 50, so I completely understand why ^^ Have you seen the Ong-bak movies and the likes, though? insane
sr3651
I always felt Ong-Bak was too obviously choreographed, but Tony Jaa is the shit.
othemehto
While I am a Bruce Lee fan, I have to state that some of the framerates of older b&w cameras made him look faster than he was
Textuality
Not to say that he wasn't insanely fast.
othemehto
100% agree. The man was a martial and philosophical genius, but mostly a great performance artist
Seven0seven
?? Films were already shooting at the standard 24fps back then, from what I read they either had to shoot at 32fps or he had to slow down.
othemehto
24fps existed but it cost more time/manpower than youd think to lug that giant equipment around -at that time- for things like demo footage
othemehto
Enter the Dragon, in 1977. 32fps, however. The B/W demo reels and B/W TV spots had framerates all the way down to 16fps.
Wgasa
Problem with rapidly switching directions on a hit is you lose half the force. You have 2 hands. Use them both for the best effect.
Wgasa
And remember that the more momentum, the more force so if you slam them face first into the floor, it hurts a lot more than a punch.
fizix00
It only takes a small fissure to shatter the dike.
Wgasa
But that metaphor doesn't work. You aren't trying to break skin with your bare hands. You have to impart force. Little flicks are useless
16745
That little flick packs a hell of a punch, plus he is going for soft targets as you need nearly no force at all to break a knee, jaw or elbo
Wgasa
No it doesn't. To hit someone hard you have to drive it through them. It may hit hard for a trained fighter, but not for untrained ones.
fizix00
What I'm saying is that getting the little flick first thing sets up for anything else.
Wgasa
Its superfluous though. Instead of a flick hit, grab the other person and pull them into your elbow. Similar movements but far better

Who gives a damn it's. Mike fucking Tyson damn it
Efreeti
The last two were incresingly fictionalized. Yen actually wanted to call it there but other factors made him sign up for the third (1/2)
Efreeti
Yen thought (and I agree) that there had been too many films about Ip Man in too short a timespan, it was confusing and maybe not respectful
nation543
i read a bit about his history and felt that the movies felt in line with it. hollywood had to over-exaggerate some moves, of course
