Since i was a kid i always had interesting in Martial Arts. I don't remember well right now but i think i did Karate or Judo when i was a kid, but because of many reasons i stopped at that time.
Martial Arts are a really important part of the Shenmue Games, the care and attention to details about martial arts in the Shenmue games are really beautiful. In Shenmue III one of the things i love about the game is the attention and care with martial arts.
In Shenmue III we can train in many ways. We can train with the members of the Bailu hall and Wu Shen Hall, we can train with other characters too or we can train alone.
Alone we can train the One Inch Punch
Horse Stance
And Rooster Step
In martial arts training we need to repeat a lot of things this way, i love the training in this game for 2 reasons.
1. The game really shows what martial arts training looks like
2. Training is really important in this game, after training we can see Ryo getting stronger and i love that.
Another thing i want to say now is about this video. In this video Bruce Lee explains how he does not believe in styles anymore. Style is a crystallization that is difficult to change. Being style-less is the way to go. Incorporate what is useful, discard what isn't.
In my opinion Bruce Lee was not against Martial Arts styles, he is just saying that if you stick to only one style you limit yourself and i agree with him. Ryo is a good example for this, he learned with his father the japanese Jujutsu style but later he learned Kung Fu and Tai Chi Chuan.
One more thing i want to share with you all today is about the manga Kenji.
Synopsis
Kenji is a manga that follows the life of Kenji, a teenager who has practiced the martial art of Bajiquan since he was a child. During the manga and his training, he meets some real-life martial artists (like Adam Hsu and Liu Chia-Ling). This manga first introduces Bajiquan, but it also shows us many other martial arts, such as Tanglangquan, Baguazhang, Chen Taijiquan, Piguaquan, Xingyiquan, Xinyiliuhequan, Shaolinquan, Hung Gar, Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu, Shotokan Karate and many others and numerous styles.
Maybe Kenji was one of the inspirations for Yu Suzuki to do Shenmue, in the synopsis we can even see that the manga introduces Bajiquan. I will start reading this manga, looks really interesting and with similar things with Shenmue.
Here in this thread we can talk and share everything about Martial Arts, in my opinion this is a interesting subject, thank you
