Becoming the Protector of Loved Ones
Posted: Wed May 28, 2014 8:20 pm
This thread will be dedicated to my incorporation of becoming the protector of loved ones.
I am interested to incorporate self defense into my life with either learning to use an easily accessible weapon, martial arts, or learning to use tools/gadgets to help me make life easier. If anyone has any recommendations/feedback that would be great. I'm looking for something that is simple and adds tons of value into my life.
*Sash is the same as a belt
Background in self defense:
Brown Sash: Yuen Kay San's lineage Wing Chun (Learned butterfly knives movements and applications)
Yellow Sash: Chen Style/Yang style Tai Chi
Yellow Sash: Chin Na (Chinese joint locks)
Unranked : San Shou (Chinese free fighting/sparring)
Unranked: Shuai Jiao (Chinese wrestling/throwing)
White Sash: BJJ
Weapons experience: Butterfly knives, 9-inch pole, saber
I'm currently taking a break until I have enough money to take classes again, but my main focus would be Chen style with San Shou. I chose San Shou because it's a workout and has its many applications. I chose Chen style tai chi, because it's relaxing as meditation and adds to my flexibility, the teacher is well known with great insight, an activity I can do with girls, and allows me to be more aware of the feelings in my whole body.
I might finish up Wing Chun sometime since it's also an interesting martial art.
