there was a karate kumite last sunday at the toa payoh indoor stadium... it's the annual national "Pesta Sukan" championships. Anione went?

My friend was in the comp and i heard lotsa bloody noses and even a case of knee twisted

Maybe we shuld post if there are any comps going around nationally or interclubs that is open to the public and for those interested to watch could gather and go down

I wonder when is the silat's pesta sukan... i'll post it here if i find out and if anione interested to see could go down and watch casually.

haha i din noe so many pple here interested in martial arts. Think it's a bit late to post here but tonight there's a combined martial arts display at NUS UCC 7pm. Can juz walk in and buy tickets - 4 bucks only....demonstration of tkd, karate, capoeira, wushu, nam wah pai, judo, aikido, kendo, taijiquan...etc...if walk in muz go a bit earlier.....anybody interested in tis can juz go down if u noe the place or pm me b4 5pm lor.

 

As for pesta sukans, the 32nd annual TKD National tournament is on over the next 2 weekends - 27 and 28 Aug from morning 9am-evening 9pm, Yishun Sports Hall, open to the public. For me I feel the Sunday bouts are more interesting as the bouts are mainly more of the senior and very experienced players fighting. The finals (ie more action) are in the evening from 4-8pm onwards..do come if u live nearby and u're interested in some butt-kicking action...it's the TKD sparring based on point systems..KO rules apply.

 

Me juz a humble student.....not fighting but accompanying 2 of my club members down to de tournament

[br1an]

any one still interested in practising martail art on our own. we can go break down the kata and figure how to use the technique in the kata for actually sparing use.

legendary Bruce Lee still the BEST of BEST

I rusty already....learnt TKD 8 years ago...attained till brown belt only(poor exam grades forced to quit).Anyway it's interesting to watch UC in army. See a mixture of TKD,Judo and others.But so sad to see that they only teach the basic moves,advanced levels only to officers and seniors. See the cadets these days do UC cannot make it. Their execution so jialat also can pass.A lot of them kena unnecessary injuries because of wrong executions.

Hi There,

 

I'm also interested in Wushu. Been practicing in France for 5 years, know a bit of shaolin quan, Tang lang quan, Mizong quan (dun remember how to write it ).

 

Was looking for a good instructor in Singapore, anybody got good adresses. I have the list of wuguan in SG but dunno what to choose.

 

I've been taught traditionnal Chinese Wushu, not the one where you jump high and go fast that you see in shows. More melted with QiGong and TaiJi...

 

If you have some hints I'll be very glad !!!

 

Thkz !!!

[Kenzara]

Anyone noe where to learn Muay Thai???

[xiaowang]

Hi Fiip

 

Me too. I am also interested to learn taijiquan but there are not many places around to learn. Let me know if you have found one.

[berukblue]

Hey anybody knows where is the Hammer Headz gym located? I just found out it's an affiliate of Straight Blast Gym so i wanna check it out

[moccajava]

i studied aikido when young aboutish brown belt. i find aikido is a favourable martial arts in the sense that it is truly a SELF-DEFENSE art.

 

i saw a tkd competition some years back in toa payoh sports hall and it was a sad sight because you see kids sparring at each other... quite senselessly at times! punching, kicking, jumping here and there and repeating the violent sequence of actions. this does not look like self-defence... more like SELF-OFFENCE! is this the right approach for kids?

 

would you want to advocate youngsters who learned it as being feeling "big" always... sorta like big bully. aikido can equally fend off an attacker but is not mean to submit the opponent but rather incapacitate him to a point that you are able to flee off in safety.

 

ive nothing against aggressive arts but it defeats the title of self-defence. but i'm placing my bets in mixed martial arts since it readies one for the real world of street fights and one-for-all situations.

[Guest doremo]

learn TKd when i am 14 yrs old... yellow belt only... now still can manage only e front kick n side kick.

[Seastorm]

Learnt TKD but found out that when needed in real life situation, not really applicable.

Plus, kns TKD girl vs guy, in terms of strength, girl already loose before fight begins.

Bit heard Aikido would be better as it uses opponent's strength agaist him?

Anyone starting Aikido lessons anytime soon??

[br1an]

in any martail art, we learn many techniques. however most of us did not master all the technique if any not any. tat why it could appear inadequate for defence purpose. however if we could just mast one or to technique, we could easily defeat many opposition. say u just practise ur front kick 500 time a day for one year. and learn to use it for defencive, offencive. maneover, etc etc. wif it. u could find it very useful. just by master one technique. whether its tkd karate mui tai boxing chinese kong fu. tai chi. the key is mastering the technique/s.
