If you had the chance

[ppko]

If you had the chance to train with anyone in the past who would it be.
My choices would be:
Gichen Funikoshi
Oyama
Remy Presas
Wally Jay (though still around he no longer teaches)
Hohan Soken
Myamota Musashi

 

[terryl965]

Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, Remy Presas, Here in now the lopez family...God Bless America

 

[MichiganTKD]

Won Kuk Lee.

Would love to compare what and how he taught to what and how I practice and teach Tae Kwon Do, as well as get his input.

 

[karatekid1975]

I'm a TKD gal, but I would like to train with Gichen Funikoshi. And train with my old TSD grandmaster (he's still around in NJ). There's others, but I can't think of them at the moment (haven't had enough coffee LOL).

 

[The Kai]

Mas Oyama

Nick Cerio
Ed Parker

So far as hand to hand (or foot to foot) goes mine would all be more modern because sport style fighting appeals more to me. So for this it would be Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, and Bill 'superfoot' Wallace. For the sword though we are going to jump into the past and go with Miyamoto Musashi, Okita Souji and Tajima Juubei (yagyuu shinkage ryu)

 

[WLMantisKid]

Wong Long, the founder of our system.

Bruce Lee with out a doubt! But also, Reme Presas, George Dillman, and in october i actually do get to train with Wally J. he and my instructor Joe R. Lansdale are friends and he has agreed to do a seminar at our dojo! Also i would love to train with Uncle Bill. Anyone who knows who he is would have to agree! he has a difficult name and tells students to call him that. he is in my opinion one of the greats.

 

[Eldritch Knight]

Yagyu Munenori
Bruce Lee
Lu Bu
Bodhidharma

As strange as this sounds, at this stage of my development i wouldn't want to train ba gua with anyone other than my current teacher, Master Shao Zhao Ming. Not because he knows everything, or is the best practitioner of Ba gua zhang (although he's at least 500 times better than i can ever hope to be!), but because he is a good teacher with a strong syllabus and i trust him to have my best interests in mind as a student.
I recognise that the time will come when this may change, but that's a long way off right now.

O Sensei

Ed Parker

Jigoro Kano

 

[Tabris]

Yip Man
Yim Wing Chun
Toshishiro Obata (Not dead I know)
Chan Kong Sang (also not dead, but hell, my choice )
and of course Lee Jun-Fan.

[Fushichou]

James Mitose: At least in part to discover firsthand if he was really a great master or not.

Fujita Seiko: A chance to learn Koga-ryu before it became extinct.

Miyamoto Musashi: Learn kenjutsu from the greatest swordsman to ever live.

Morihei Ueshiba: Enough said.
