Karate is like that... the belief is that the one blow you deliver should be the fatal blow to disable your opponent. That is why you will never see a movie about pure Karate hero (its always a mixed style), because pure Karate (some refer to it as Shotokan) does not have all those fancy moves.

If I were to pursue a martial art, I think it would probably be either eskrima/kali or the Israeli Krav Maga. Stickfighting has always looked cool and can be adapted to empty hand or whatever is at hand (ballpoint pen, toothbrush etc). Whereas the Krav Maga appears to be down and dirty get out of danger by 'disabling' the attacker.

What made you think about those? They are not common choices at all except for the Israeli type of fighting made popular by JLo's movie (Can't remember the name).

Eskrima or stick fighting has been in a couple of movies:
Rambo (II) and "Kiss of the Dragon". The speed and concentration required for stickfighting is pretty impressive. If I were to try it, I'd probably knock MYSELF unconscious within the first 30 secons  ;D .

The coolest Martial Art style would have to been Jeet Kune Do.  It is seriously kick butt.  If anyone of you have seen the anime show called Cowboy Bebop you will know what i'm talkin about.  The main character Spike uses this style of martial arts and it just flows so well.

Hey, i told you about that style of martial arts Thomas.  I showed you the show with it on it as well, so basically copied everything i was going to say.

As I said in another topic, aikido is probably one of the best defensive styles. However, I am also very interested in tai chi chuan. Practiced as a daily exercise, it is apparently excellent in helping you to become more flexible, with much better breathing and endurance. I have understood that David Carradine studied this form and focused on it for his character in "Kung Fu". It was even more apparent in the short-lived resurrection of the series, as the movements are slow and very fluid, but very powerful.

I once skimmed through a book on tai chi, and it indicated that the "chi" or internal energy of a practicioner can be greatly enhanced through practicing this style. Many chinese healing arts, as well as martial arts, are focused on "chi".

From our religious viewpoint, this can lead to some VERY interesting discussions.

I used to wonder always how come his movements were so slow, I thought it was more because of TV than anything else . I'm slim but not atletic at all, I don't know if I can bend and touch my toes , I'm totally out of shape in the athletic point of view.
