It will take one more than his life time to learn the complete throwing art system. There exist no single person on this planet who can say that he has learned the complete throwing art.
The "completeness" is not the issue. The best training method is the issue. My long fist system has roundhouse kick. The day that I had learned the
- TKD roundhouse kick, I had replaced my long fist roundhouse kick training method by the TKD roundhouse kick training method.
- MT roundhouse kick, I had replaced my TKD roundhouse kick training method by the MT roundhouse kick training method.
The reason that I like the MT roundhouse kick training method is because it emphasizes on the
- downward force.
- 180 degree whole body rotation.
It's the roundhouse kick downward force plus the 180 degree body rotation that can generate the maximum amount of power. when it lands on your opponent's head that can knock him out. Both the long fist and TKD method that only address the upward force without enough body rotation are just not good enough.
The MA skill is just like the programming language. When Java programming language came out, it had replaced all the other programming languages. The Java programming language does not require re-compilation that no other "older" programming languages (such as C, Fortran, Algo, Pascal, Snobol, Lisp, ...) can compete with.
I don't think MA training should be like marriage that you have to be with your other half for the rest of your life. If you can find a better one, replace it.
