Kieran Regular 107 posts	Sunday 14th January 2007 at 16:58 I have been trianing in TJJ but in the last year the club has moved over and joined World Ju-jitsu fedration. I dont mind there style as alot of techniques are done from a boxers punch(Stance). But some of the stuff is a bit flashy and a bit over kill which I couldn't see relying on in the street. I'm combing this with full contact kickboxing under Paddy Toland (former world kickboxing champion) two nights a week. I'm also doing akido class on a sunday. Unfortunaetly we have no BJJ or Mauy Thai here in Derry. But i've recently been told of a kung fu class starting near by. I was wondering what your thoughts would be. Kickboxing or Kung fu

Kieran Regular 107 posts	Sunday 21st January 2007 at 01:47 Thanks for the advice mate. I went down to check the kung fu out. The sensi was bold and brash on a bit of an ego trip. He didnt seem to have a syalabus or a trianing method and his students seemed to trian on aggression being fired up. It s not my type of trianing or club although I wouldn't judge all clubs in this light. But Akido and WJJ seems to trian you in looking for weaknesses,exploiting weakness,staying calm and focused and controlling your breathing and has a natural flow to it. I can understand that in kickboxing you need a competive edge but this guy struck me as a nutter. I've always believed that if you don't have complete faith and respect in your Sensi then it's time to leave. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- We bow in respect but never in Submission
