    Brave Centurion, do you ever take some comfort there?
    huh?

    thanks vuk! ive been working really hard (i have always wanted to box) and i think i have a prett good chance. not to sound conceited but i think i have strength and speed on my opponent but he is much more experienced than me.

    the only martial arts ive ever taken is a couple of krav maga classes (vicious stuff). can i presume you do tae kwon do?

    Yeah, lol, Taekwondo, Taijiquan, Judo (only a tiny bit, but more next year), and Wing Tsun. I love TKD and the TKD community. I used to participate in lower level TKD tournaments a bit, but I really have mostly stopped that. Recently I have moved to Wing Tsun. Krav Maga is some really good stuff. I wanted to learn a fighting system that would be really practical on the street and help me with competition fighting instead of improvising from TKD and Taijiquan, so I tried Krav Maga, Judo, and Wing Tsun. I went with Wing Tsun, because I think it is the most effective. I studied it in Hungary (my instructor was the second highest ranking female martial artist in Europe), and my Si-Mei was the direct Disciple of Sigung Maday Norbert, who is a direct Disciple of Great Grandmaster Leung Ting. It is not a bad lineage at all, but I am going to be improving it this Autumn.
    Good luck on your boxing match, and tell me how it goes!

    Go for kickboxing for some street skills the rest is useless in a real fight, It's a sport first any experienced kickboxer will completely destroy an eastern style blackbelt. I'd be happy for you but since you want to have me executed ;)

    Wing Tsun is one of/the most agressive martial arts there are. A fight in Wing Tsun is not supposed to go on for longer than two seconds. We focus on intercepting an enemies attack and brutally attacking their vital organs and critical joints to take them down in the shortest possible time. Wing Tsun is very simple, and most of the attacks go in a straight line, as they can always hit first.

    lol Frags, you know I was joking about that, right? :P
    Trust me, Wing Tsun is not a sport. If you practiced Wing Tsun as a sport, half the competitors would be dead in the first few minutes. :P Wing Tsun is a true martial art, and has no sports component. It is basically a scientific way of training your body and reactions to destroy a much stronger and even faster opponent in a very short time. Unlike other martial arts that emphasize one thing (grappling, striking, kicks, punches, throws, etc), Wing Tsun emphasizes winning a fight by using anything. All parts of a fight are covered in Wing Tsun.
    Nah, I don't think that an experienced kickboxer would touch an experienced Wing Tsun-ist.
    Here is a demo of Wing Tsun so that you can see what it is like.

    They aren't even hitting each other most of the time, last hit is cool though I know it from jiu-jitsu and it works. Doing it that hard is just cruel hehe. But I would love to see him channeling a few proper low-kicks. Martial arts in general only works against martial arts.

    lol, trust me, it works. In Wing Chun you use the legs to defend the lower half of your body and the arms to defend the upper portion. You would simply kick a low kick down and return with your own kick. Wing Tsun deals with ever possible (unarmed) attack type.
