Being a martial arts media fan SUCKS!!!

Being a martial arts media fan SUCKS!!!

MY DAYS its sucks to be a consumer of fictional matial arts media. Don't get me wrong, there's many great Manga/Manhwa and the like out there, but after 6 years of being an dedicated reader, I can effectively say, I've run out.

Yes I've read/am reading all the big ones; the Baki series, KENGAN ASHURA and the rest of the Sandroverse, Garouden, Tough, Hajime no Ippo, All Rounder Meguru, RedBlue, Little Karate Prince, Lookism and the Rest of the PTJ verse, Study Group, How to Fight, King of the Octagon, God of Highschool and so much more...

I've come to read the more obscure but amazing manga/manhwa like; Bataque, RRR, Rikudou, Taekwondo Kid and the Breakers to name a few.

And that's where the real martial arts series end. I've become a big fan of **some** Isekai and Murim(a type of martial arts hero story) manhwa, bit good Lord to they Oversaturate what the genre of "Martial Arts" is, mind you Isekai and Murim manhwa don't even have proper displays of martial arts in the first place, it'll be some mf using the "18 methods destroying Sword" and all they do is throw energy beams everywhere. So the genre is, to say the least, lost.

Its come to the point where I've finally read stories with only like 30 chapters, The manga in the picture provide, is a Shotokan Karate story called Hanza Sky, in the 30ish chapters translated, its shown beautiful displays of Karate and the people that follow it. BUT IT ONLY HAS 30 CHAPTERS TRANSLATED, **MIND YOU** the story is apparently fully complete like 6 years ago and no ones picked it up since.

All in all, the genre right now isn't in a good state, there are new and good stories coming out like Invincible Meguru and Mumumu. But I don't know man, I'm just tired of seeing the genre taken over by the equivalent of action movies like Fast and Furious in the same category as Best of the Best, I just hope for actual martial arts series.

Thank you for reading.

What are your thoughts on hand-to-hand striking techniques? There are so many different types, and people only think of fists. Which martial arts excel at these hand-to-hand techniques?

Fucking Magnificent

Bravo Pinakataka,

If you see this, thank you

You made one of the best stories I've read in my recent life. No words can describe the joy and other emotions I felt reading this story. Comparing CONVICT COLLOSEUM to KENGAN ASHURA doesn't do it the justice it Deserves.

CC is truly an Original experience like no other and stands as a truly great display of Story and Martial Arts.

I truly hope you can continue to make the art you desire and look forward to that Greatness.

Greet experience

Osu, me again, I'm back training and had a truly great experience.

I was the only one training in the dojo today, because everyone else is busy with exams and other University work.

Its was truly a unique experience doing solo training like that. My dojo is in my Uni's gym and can be looked into from the second floor.

I did exercises and Kata with some cardio and shadow boxing to end. And as I worked I felt more in-tune with my training than before, even with passersby looking in here and there, with more eyes looking in as I refined my Kata and worked on my Kiai, which truly felt great as a refined and tweaked it by my lonesome.

The highlight of my day was meeting another Karateka who came in to practice 1 Kata of his own. He said he was from a Shorinji style (can't remember the fullname) and it was truly amazing seeing these new form and how different they where from mine.

His Kata was more fluid, but firm, and had many flowing motions. Truly amazing. He even said he might join us to train next time.

This solitary training truly helped me understand how much I actually care for and look forward to my future in Kyokushin Karate. I truly hope for grand things along the way. OSU
