What do you think of this art?

Hi, so my plan is to invent my own Martial Art, after dabbling in Krav Maga, Escrima, various Karates, Jujitsu and a myriad of other arts.





I want to develop a knife fighting Martial Art that specifically trains in counters to common defenses %26amp; disarms. That's right, a Martial Art specifically designed so that if you have a knife, you easily are able to get past the substandard defenses taught in Martial Arts. It will include unconvential means of holding the knife that various Martial Arts have not addressed, along with a variety of angles and strikes, as opposed to the overhead "Pyscho" stab. Various slashes and thrusts and ways of concealing knives until in close range of your opponents. Also counters and ways to hold a knife at distance in case an opponent attempts to kick it. Additionally ways to throw knives in case an opponent runs.





My dream is to teach this Art to young struggling inner city youth in the worst neighborhoods for self defense from self defense experts.

What do you think of this art?
Wow, I haven't answered a Y!A for awhile. So, don't flame me if I forgot how to do this:





Aikido would beat your knife, hands down. All they need to do is Grab Your Wrist(tm). It's a proven fact. Stevey Seagull does it all teh t1m3z.





_ing _un...err...Wing Chun/Ving Tsun/Wing Tsun (but not Ving Chun) would invade your centerline and that would be very bad for you. I think it has something to do with double entendre of the saxuel persuasion. Hint. Hint.





Obviously Krav Maga would just kill you. With an M-16. At around 100 yards. Because nobody ever expects the Krav Maga Inquisition!





But, do it anyway. You'll make alot of money off the suckerrrrrr I mean the students of this honorable and underpriced system. Soke Necroth says that Soke Judomofo, 10th Dan of KnifeMagaJutsuDoSooDo is a great guy, a notable martial artist, and will be inducted into many Hall of Fame organizations (for a non-refundable fee of 250$ per induction, of course).





Now, give me two "t3h d34dl13z" and we'll call this one a lock!

good stuff with the right marketing u would probably get some students how about using pink gi's so the attackers think your harmless LOL
Reply:Ok let me see if I have this correct. You want to teach a martial arts that centers around knife fighting. It is okay that you want to invent a new martial arts, but what if you dint carry a knife wherever you go?





A lot of people in the Yahoo! Martial arts category ask "Oh what is a good self-defense" and people would say "oh just carry a stun gun or pepper spray" well the problem is are you going to carry that around with you everywhere you go? For ladies that might not be a problem because they have a purse. But for guys, where are you going to put it? In your pocket?





What I am trying to get at is, that you should also incorporate some hand to hand combat too, because I am sure not everyone is going to carry a knife with them wherever they go, especially in a school setting.





And it is really important that you are a VERY experience martial artist yourself. With years of knowledge and training. Because by teaching other martial arts your teaching them how to fight if their lives are threaten.
Reply:better to hit the martial arts forums then yahoo, its to broad and individuals dont quite understand alot of what your speaking. You could email the man at the link below, he created his own system.
Reply:Think you got all the answers, eh? What if a guy has a hatchet, biaotch?
Reply:What about pointed sticks?
Reply:Go for it!
Reply:Leave crack alone.





I really hope you are joking.
Reply:It's been done already.
Reply:I like Krav Maga and Escrima. I don't like Karates and Jujitsu they suck. You will need a lot of martial art experience to even develop your own fighting Martial Art. Have you studied other martial arts before? A lot of people that try to develop there own martial arts seem more like a joke. It seem like they don't understand what the movements in that system is all about. They just watch movies and try to take all the good stuff and put it into there own martial arts. That is crap. I am not trying to be rude but just some suggestions.
Reply:Someone correct me if I'm wrong...but don't the Black Eagles in the Phillipines already practice something very similar to what you're talking about?





You also failed to mention what would define this as an "art" as opposed to a system. It sounds like you are just developing a self-defense course for those who weild knives. Arts include a cultural aspect to them (such as how Karate upholds a lot of tradition) and you mention nothing about that other than your target audience.





Also, not to sound too disrespectful but, if you've only dabbled in several arts and systems...what would qualify you to become a creator of an entire martial art? Even Krav Maga, which is realitively new, was developed by someone that actually knew and had an understanding of combat. He didn't just take a few classes here and there and decide that he knew what was best. This doesn't even take into account the generations and generations of students and teachers that worked to refine their particular arts.


I guess what I'm getting at is...can you back up your qualifications for creating a new brand of martial arts?
Reply:you should find a way to incorporate the touchless knockout....but the broken glass for defense against takedowns is engenius

sensei tom camreon perfected the move after nearly losing his life in the southside of chicago
Reply:Hmmm





I think George Dillman, Ashida Kim, and Frank Dux will have competition!





Just a suggestion, can your curriculum also include techniques that are useful against an ultimate fighter ? ;-)
Reply:This is certainly a joke, but I must have missed what the object of the parody is. On a serious note, it might be better to develop an art that doesn't require carrying a concealed weapon.





Maybe just manufacture a suit with spikes sticking out in every direction, sort of the like Hellraiser guy's head.

Reply:You know, some of the Sayoc guys train with three knives in one hand. If you can teach me how to defend against that and add an additional two on there (just to say I more than one-upped them), sign me up.





Though I'm not exactly an inner city youth. Will that be a problem?

















Man I can't believe that people are taking this seriously. Priceless.
Reply:good one.





well written, even though it sounded looney with the "knife" comments it still left a shred of doubt that you were serious until the "broken glass" comments.





EDIT: you people really need to learn what the hell he is saying. the broken glass comment might give it away, but the knife thing is freaking funny if you get it. translate it.
Reply:I want my son to learn martial arts, but not what you want to teach, why would you want to teach some one how to throw a knife at some one who is running away, you sound like a psycho, I am sure your students will all end up in prison
Reply:hahahaha. LMAO. That is the funniest thing I've heard all day, thanks for brighting my day a bit.
Reply:Wow give it a try! good idea. Aim to teach it to women too. And dreams do come true so start making it a reality. let us know how it goes. I would personally like to learn that for self defense..good luck
