Anyone here create their own style?

Hello Everyone. I am looking to create my own style of Martial Arts. I was hoping some of you can give me ideas as far as what to include. Also if anyone has please email me at ihavequestions123@yahoo.com so you can answer some further questions of mine. Please give me some answers and email me. Thank you all for your time.

Anyone here create their own style?
first you would need a foundation art, something to start you off. then you need to try out other concepts, and the end result is that all of us eventually do have our own style, the style of our previous knowledge and our own preferences and needs.





we must all make our own path, using the information of various concepts as direction. accepting one belief blindly is to limit your potential.





it is best that you learn something first, and move on to something else, and then move on etc and collect a varied view.it is then that you can make a hybrid system detailing what you belief is needed, without the rubbish. but it wont happen in a year or two. this perfection takes a life time. I have been at it since I was 14, I am 35 now. and though I have my own concepts, I continually discover better ideals.





it is a constant learning curve. no ONE way is the way.
Reply:There is a great deal that goes into manifesting your on expression of martial arts. To begin with, you have to have a solid foundation upon which to build. What sort of training and experience have you had to help you with this?





The next important question is %26quot;why do you want to do this?%26quot; If all you%26#039;re looking for is financial gain, look for another hook. This is not a subject you should just slap together various techniques, call it by an exotic name, and market it. There are consequences and responsibilities to consider. Chief among them is the responsibilities to your students and the consequences they will experience due to listening to your teachings.
Reply:The big question in my mind is:





WHY?
Reply:Look I don%26#039;t know why you want to create your own styles, however I%26#039;ll do a walk through with you over few possible reasons:





-gain financial, this is a really bad move! Even if you do manage to lure students in, don%26#039;t expect to make much moneys. Teaching martial arts rarely get you over 30,000 a year, often you end up pay for many things out of your own pockets.





-You want to look cool when you fight, sorry but this will never happen. beside that is it really worth the time to go through all trouble to create one and never end up in fight or worse... Lose a fight?





-You want to be the next big name, the day of bruce Lee take over Hollywood is over! Today you%26#039;d be very lucky if anyone even recognize your skill. There%26#039;s million of martial artists out there who would love to act on the silverscreen. Today most big name martial artists are a fighter and NO WAY in the world you will ever become big name by create your own style without learn a lot from others.





-You want to make your name last in history. Sorry but there%26#039;s many people who can%26#039;t tell difference between wrestling and boxing who have open their own gym and teach a make up style. So this plan is out of the window. If you want to leave your name in history, go in political, win a nobel prize, or win Darwin%26#039;s award.





-You want to be popular, this will NOT work for various reasons! Girls will think you%26#039;re violent no matter what. Those who are fighter will laugh at you. Those who practice traditional martial arts will think you%26#039;re a nut. You%26#039;ll only attract a bunches of loonies.





So you%26#039;re better off take a LOT of classes and learn as much as you could, then after 10 or 20 years (if you%26#039;re natural talented) then you can reconsider this.
