Posted August 2, 2014 Took Karate when I was younger. uhh does Tai Chi count? My father taught me a bunch of offensive and defensive techniques but I don't know if it was some form of martial art or not. I would say that Tai Chi has definite value when used offensively/defensively. The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

Tai Chi is a martial art^^ so yes With enough training it would probably be quite an effective one at that My own personal style has influences from tai chi (or maybe i'd call it a slower version of wushu) ====>The car thread<====>Dark Souls thread<====>Placeholder<==== "Life is like a raging river, Its gonna get rough downstream.

As for Karate I haven't been practicing for years now, I'm actually kinda outta shape now... Tai Chi was always done as a health thing for me really... Never though of it as a form of self defense.

Posted August 2, 2014 I've been a fencer for the last 4 years How is the visibility in a fencing mask?

Posted August 2, 2014 Fencing masks aren't as bad. As long as you don't mind if being much hotter, that is. The heat i can handle. Although i had to wring out my bandana after longer matches when i was doing kendo What style of fencing is it that you do btw? épée, foil or sabre? ====>The car thread<====>Dark Souls thread<====>Placeholder<==== "Life is like a raging river, Its gonna get rough downstream.

Posted August 2, 2014 Sabre I'm not a point weapon peasant The sabre was the only one that i had any interest in^^ I mean. If you've got a sword. Why not use all of it i should be able to train with a sabre in HEMA as well. But my favourite weapon will always be the spear or staff ====>The car thread<====>Dark Souls thread<====>Placeholder<==== "Life is like a raging river, Its gonna get rough downstream.

Posted August 3, 2014 I Just Played Street Fighter X Tekken if that counts Uriah Hall claimed that he used Tekken as a way to pick up on some moves. Considering this exists. Along with frame analysis videos. It wouldn't be a surprise that someone could learn based on videos (games). Hmm, it'd be cool if he was featured as a guest character in Tekken 7 just as an out of the blue sort of thing. not to change the subject but has anyone else practiced Kenpo Karate? also thanks for all the replies None around my area that I'm aware of. I know Kyo Kusanagi's fighting style is based on Kenpo though. | CPU: An abacus | Motherboard: Tin foil | RAM: 2 Popsicle sticks | GPU: Virtual Boy | Case: Cardboard box | Storage: Cardboard | PSU: 3...
