Internal and external arts

[nvinson85]

I'm a stroke survivor that's always been into fitness. I've also had the unfortunate luck of being in a physical altercation while in my current condition. At the the time, i was able to perform optimally. Thankfully he was drunk and we weren't alone but i still had to defend myself initially. Every since then, I've been researching the most effective combination of martial arts to end fights and improve my balance. The main 2 styles i found were Muay Thai and Yiquan.  I feel Muay Thai is excellent in the sense of a comprehensive striking system and Yiquan requires you to slow your movements down to fine tune the little balance issues i have. I just found Sylvie's YouTube channel and i wanna express my appreciation and genuine interest in the project she is pursuing. I hope to continue to learn and if there's anything from anyone that's helpful for a new fish, I'd very much appreciate guidance

You may find that if you look into the traditional side of Thailand's Muay Thai (how it is scored, and also in many ways fought), there will be some correspondence to the "inner" or "internal" forms of slower martial arts like Yiquan. We've discussed in the Muay Thai Bones podcast where Buddhistic principles such a "Ning" or "Samadi" are drawn on for Thailand's Muay Thai.

Here's a link to the whole playlist. Sorry I don't recall which ones, unfortunately they are very long podcasts.

In Sylvies words " i fucking hate being pushed"

If i could mix what Sylvie is doing with this approach, it's the style i believe would end fights
