Yeah man I checked it that out, I've heard of it before but I heard it was a myth. It kinda looks like a combination of a modified sticky hands, western boxing with an emphasis on close quarter combat. I dig how it looks but I'd like to see an actual application of the 52 blocks in an MMA setting and see what it could possibly add to an MMA fighters repertoire. Definitely a good street self defense system if nothing else.

Ya'll should do the knowledge on it if interested. -

Yeah 52 blocks LOOKS like a combo of boxing, "dirty boxing", and wing chun. Most of the emphasis is on blocking and striking and fast hand movements.

I studied Taekwondo for about a year until a year ago. Now pretty much everyone in my family is doing it but I can't afford it. I hope that I will be able to start again in a couple of months.
I've always wanted to try Muay Thai. Some day. -

I started off with kung fu, and moved on to practice judo, bjj, and catch wrestling.
