Hey everyone
I havent posted a DT type thread in a while and I am doing injustice to my screen name lol. There for I ask what martial arts or defensive training have you recieved what were your thoughts on the principles/ techniques in the system, would you train in it consistantly ? and have you had to modify it for security work. Lets start with me
Okinawa Goju ryu Karate-I find the nature of this style very applicable to work based of the close quarter nature of it (knee strikes, elbow strikes, forearm strikes, shoulder strikes) but I dont like the high and low blocks in the style I prefer to block kicking attacks with my legs (thigh block look at thai boxing for an example of this) and do body shift out of the way of high attacks. Goju ryu talks a lot about power generation at close quarters and doesnt rely on tappy tappy point fighting principles.
Yamanaka ha aiki ju jutsu-Great style. I like the over the hip style throws but they tend not to jive well with articulation in use of force reports, the arm locks and wrist locks have great use for low levels of force, I like the yasumi waza (striking in a totally relaxed manner) it tends to send a shock wave into the suspect
BJJ-I like the style for "live training" the takedowns are quick and realistic, but on a negative note I dont want to be rolling around with someone on the gravel when I have my duty belt or tactical folder on
stay safe
