martial arts: styles

[TheGodEmperor]

I must find a BJJ school in Toronto. I need to work on my on the ground stuff and my throws. AKA do more Judo, which is basically a more upright form of BJJ. But then again, if I'm up against an experienced grappler/wrestler, I'd want to learn groundholds besides submission, which I know quite well.  And SeBas, capoeira is effective kn a martial sense only because they use body fakes, so they have ypu going one way, and then their foot comes at you from a completely different direction. I heard that from this portuguese dude who knows a few styles of wrestling, upright fighting, and streetfighting. He was a beast, he showed me like 3 new holds in 10 minutes. Apparently, alot of the shit he knows is passed down through his family  :saywhat: My dad (who also does martial arts: wrestling, karate, judo, tae kwon do...) saw him practicing with a staff, and he was wicked  :thumbsup:

the guy with the blue gloves has power on his roundhouse kicks, but his technique isnt perfect because his pullback will kill his knees. 10 years from now, he wont be able to walk. And his punching technique needs some major work, but thats not his style of fighting anyway. He has perfect hipthrows though.
