Mars squared his Chiron, too.Sugarplumi would say mars-saturn, my bf has mars trine saturn, and he's an amazing martial artist. anonymidarknessIt’s mostly about Mars I think.*Angular Mars(1/4/7/10) *Sun-Mars, Sun-Pluto, Mars-Pluto, Mars-Saturn*Mars in 5th*Aries,Scorpio,Leo,Taurus,Cancer marsSnorkel quote:Originally posted by anonymidarkness:It’s mostly about Mars I think.*Angular Mars(1/4/7/10) *Sun-Mars, Sun-Pluto, Mars-Pluto, Mars-Saturn*Mars in 5th*Aries,Scorpio,Leo,Taurus,Cancer marsI got Mars right at the beginning of the 6th house - some chart systems place it in the fifth.

It's complex.12muddyMy master used to say that martial arts and fighting are different. Martial arts are more about style, artistic and character development. There are martial artists who don’t “fight” well. For aspects: My husband has mars square pluto, trine ascendant. He’s good at martial art and has won a few medals. The style he practices is more about having a calm and tranquil mind, so yeah the techniques are graceful and “clean”. I have mars oppose pluto, trine ascendant and Saturn, Saturn sextile pluto. The style I practice isn't “artistic”. It’s more about survival, hence it’s more combative and primal. I’m not that good, but I'm able to defend myself. My husband's martial art master is always like "Keep calm keep calm, clear your mind". Mine was always shouting "Do not get scared, get ANGRY" lol StarlightSmileSupremeI have lots of fight with my square between Mars and Pluto but the orb is wide.

How a lot of the movements in traditional martial arts aren't really useful in an actual streetfight which led to him creating Jeet Kun Do.I don't take a martial art, although I've thrown around the idea in the past during my Bruce Lee movie obsession years ago. I'm little, but I do absolutely believe that, if I were put in a situation where I had to fight and my life depended on it, all those Mars squares would come to the fore...I think I'd walk away just fine. I'm not so sure about my opponent.12muddy quote:Originally posted by Snorkel: Bruce Lee said the same stuff decades ago actually.

Years ago one of my female friends was attacked by a guy and she fought like a wolf. She got a black eye, cut lips and stuff, but the guy was in a very bad state lol.For me, my frame is small and I'm rather weak physically, so I need some techniques that can bring the attacker down quickly, or hurt them enough to buy time to run away.

I have the Uranian planet Vulcanus conjunct my Mars too so I'm really not that worried.depthI don't practice martial arts but am a good fighter, when angry. It becomes a kill or die situation for me cause I take my fights seriously.

The idea of taking all the practical and useful bits from various martial arts and adding it to your repertoire. These days, instructors offer "jeet kun do" as a martial art. It may or may not involve teaching a variety of moves from different martial arts, however ultimately it is something that a martial arts practitioner should embrace as an ideal and learning principle.Looking at it from the perspective of fighting, a roundhouse kick, is really not that practical. Nor is an uppercut. Practical strikes include, knee and elbow strikes, hammer-fist strikes and headbutts to name some of the most useful.If you want to learn to defend yourself I would recommend any of the following martial arts; Jujitsu, Brazilian Jujitsu, Judo, Aikido, Muay Thai, Boxing. Maybe a particularly heavy striking form of karate, perhaps Shotokan, which I practiced for a year, or i've hear Kyokushin Karate is relatively heavy striking. Krav Maga if you can find it could also be useful, although Krav Maga is a martial art, it is similar in principle to Jeet Kun do, a wide variety of effective techniques to use in danger situations.Fundamentally, the majority of fights end up, in close quarters grappling, doing something like Jujitsu of some form, will give you a huge advantage over those who do not know how to grapple. Most hip rotation for throws, pins and locks are very similar across the disciplines. Most forms of striking use the same techniques to deliver strikes, rotation, body position, weight transfer etc.My advice would be to take at least one grappling and one striking discipline for a minimum of 6 months, preferably a year. After either length of time, you can decide whether it is worthwhile to continue. It is important to make sure that you actually get to practice both strikes and grapples, in a heavy sparring environment. So you can use your whole force, and know how it may feel in a real situation.- Chris------------------Learn lots. Don't judge. Laugh for no reason. Be nice. Seek Happiness.
