What do you know?
There is a system, of which I was very much aware of, but did not realize until just recently, very much mirrored ours in some of it's philosophies and physics. Other entity's are different. This system's front kick, side kick and roundhouse kick all function pretty much the same with only the position of the foot changing. They say that they have an important principle of which is distinctive and that is to "always move forward, never retreat". They state that their body movements are more straight forward and more natural than other styles.
This sounds like a description of Aibudo, of which it is to this point, but the style info is of another art. Do you know what it is? I'll give you a hint. They say that you should "breath in" on blocks! They also state that you should never get accustomed to being hit or thrown down! Another philosophy of training is that, protective equipment is unnecessary, because actual striking should be done on such things as the makiwara, walls, tires, etc. and not on the person. I told you that they were different on some things! I see now why they wouldn't have to retreat in kumite, as they know that they aren't to strike each other! Not much of a martial art in that respect, but an art none-the-less.
