I am training in Olympic Taekwondo (I wish I knew what Olympic meant before I joined :/) and we are forced to use striking, kicks only, stomach height. (no groundwork, no anything else) I thought to myself in that moment that I would move to ground work (I couldn't stand right) but I can't - forced to use striking, and striking only, legs only.
He actually aimed for my thighs (I was told that I hit people in the thigh also in other fights, accidentally of course) and this was a kind of a punishment that I was supposed to learn from NOT TO HIT LOWER THAN THE STOMACH, even by accident.
So in this "punishment fight" I hit him 1 time in the ass or thighs, cant recall, and he started aiming lower, for my thighs (the punishment for my sin).
That is not the point, the point is I failed to defend from low kicks appropiatley so I am asking, which arts focus on the full body, thighs, shins, arms, elbow, fists and so on. I am talking both defending, deflecting, dodging from those body parts and attacking with them. Also, which arts are more hybrid and less focused on 1 style. (Taekwondo on striking and Jujitsu on grappling and groundwork for example) So Ive heard that Ninjutsu is hybrid.
I respected that I was crippled temporary and I wanted to continue, but I could not stand and kick and also I could not go for other style (I almost tried to knockhim down with some ground grappling technique)
That is why I want to see and learn - which arts are more loose and let you have a more variety of styles (striking,grappling, counter attacking, pressure points, bone to bone attacks and so on) and not forced to use one in the trainings and that will also teach you things that on the street will let you be more flexible, like when u get injured and you want to change your style for grappling in that specific moment.
