Martial Artists you love to watch. - 11/04/10 08:52 AM

Martial arts have a strong aesthetic qualities. Some are great to watch in a solo demonstration, or it is great to watch someone performing in a combat arena at a high level against a competitor.

Who do you like watching? It can be for any reason you like... you might find it impressive, informative, or you just night enjoy the spectacle.

Some folks I enjoy watching:

Roger Gracie (BJJ, Judo)




Chen Xiaowang (Chen Family Taijiquan)



Tommy Carruthers (JKD)

That's interesting. I trained at Tommy Carruthers class, I'd forgotten about that. Just one or two trial lessons, a long time ago. At the time it wasn't what I was looking for.
