This is some intersting stuff, a Turkic Martial Arts style which apparently traces back to the 5-6th century where its schools are recorded in Chinease records.

Anyway, some Turkish dude is taking it seriously and seems to be making this into a serious martial arts.

Do any of the Turkic members here know anything more about this or are there any participants~? here's the site.

I know one of my friends practices it, I dont know where he learned it from though...according to him, it's better for street self defense, than other Karate types, I dont know how true that is though.

I doubt he learned it from a master, since he doesnt have any belts or rankings...

Shocked There's some good moves.
 
Well with Sayokan etc first I thought it was nonsense but I've been looking into it and its accepted as a martial arts form by the International Martial Arts Comission. Also when you think logically about it Turkic people especially one's in the Eastern Turkistan and most Eastern regions should have martial arts because they were in such close proximity to the Chinease and other Eastern peoples. Since they were always in contact and fighting alot they would have to be as good as them and develop with them as this is nearly always seen between armies in battle with each other, the technology goes up in the whole region...

I didn't look through those sites yet, but I will later on.  This is great news for me, I'm a black belt in a few styles and have always wondered if us Turks have our own style.  I'll definetly try to find a way to practice these styles.
For Turks, the homeland isn't Turkey, nor yet Turkistan. Their country is a vast, eternal land: Turan!
