I've been wondering...for a long time..what type or martial art (if possible, arts) Syaoran uses to fight. I've done a little research, did this and that..I've concluded to maybe a combination of TaeKwonDo and Kung fu? TaeKwonDo because of his kicking, but Kung fu because of his flips....

I'm not sure..what do you think?

aishiteru · « **Reply #1 on:** August 30 2005, 01:18 pm »

i believe it's tae kwon do. my godbrother does tae kwon do and he says that it's mainly kicking. so i'm assuming that syaoran's fighting style is tae kwon do.

oh mann.. i want to know what happened to his eye. haha.

I agree.. I don't know all about martial arts xD but I think that shaoran uses the techniques of Tae kwon do o.o

yes! alright!
lol I have studied TaeKwon-do for 5 years and I was disapointed because I wanted to learn martial arts like Syaoran (from ccs) but there were no Chinese martial arts classes to attened. and now his style is much more similar to what I learn! (OMG Obsessed much)

I was really hoping everyone would say TaeKwon-do. I believe in CCS that his fighting was VERY chinese martial art influenced (obviously because he was from China and thats where he learned

But in Tsubasa, it is not. It is very much like Taekwon-do kicks yes. but TKD envolves some punching too. I fear though, even though I would --LOVE-- it to be Taekwon-do, that it might be closer to Karate as it is Japanese. Tae Kwon-do is Korean.(so would Clamp use it?)
but you never know, CLAMP may have decided to give him a non Japanese fighting style... or a mix of Karate and Taekwon-do maybe?

one things for sure, as long as he keeps up those flying side kicks and side kicks, I'll be cheering!

Syaoran is unique, he fights, well, in Syaoran style!

true about how tae kwon do is a korean fighting style but who knows.. CLAMP could have went, "why not mix things up a bit and have him use tae kwon do?" you know.. they go to different worlds and such so why not use a different fighting style from a different country? haha. i don't know, this post is starting to not make sense anymore. i think i'll stop. hah.

I was thinking maybe a bit of kung-fu too? I took kung fu for a bit before, we did a lot of flips. Maybe CLAMP also wanted a little CCS Syaoran influence in TRC Syaoran?

aishiteru · « **Reply #6 on:** September 01 2005, 02:47 pm »

ohh. that's a good thought, okamirei. maybe they did want to.

true, Syaoran is still Syaoran wether he's in TRC or CCS. Its nice to see a glimer of the old Syaoran every now and again. reminds me of why this whole obsession began anyway!

I don't really know a lot about fighting methods, although I can say one thing fo sure..........

Syaoran is simply great when he is fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Runs away laughing like a maniac crying 'SYAORAN POWER!!!' over and over again*

c3d · « **Reply #9 on:** September 27 2005, 10:16 pm »

hey had a style??

i thought that he never knew how to fight *shrugs* becuase his an archeologist
and i dont think many archeologist no any hand-to-hand combat.

in my opinion he just a natrual fighter.
It just happens at the appropriate time and uses his heart to fight, because he wants to complete his mission and would do anything to complete it.

so his using love to fight ^^

Kuro-puppy · « **Reply #10 on:** September 28 2005, 09:07 pm »

yeah! been wanting to learn martial arts for a while but didn't know which
one to pick

but since Syaoran is Taekwondo-fighter (probably)
that's my choice *does kick-attack and falls*

Becster · « **Reply #11 on:** March 25 2006, 07:35 am »

I know this isn't a fighting style, but has anyone seen One Piece?

The chef character - Sanji - fights in a very similar way because he doesn't want to risk damage to his hands (the chef's 'tools of the trade') and the spinning kicks Syaoran does reminds me of Sanji.

(I was so proud when I managed to flip a chair up like Sanji did in that episode after the fight at the Baratie had finished. Except Sanji flipped a table upright. I just flipped a chair. Oh well, I can practice. *MAJOR DORK**AND SANJI FAN* ^^...Ehehe...)

I'd agree with the Tae Kwon do, though I haven't studied it. I've taken Karate and know for a fact that the stuff syaron does is not anything that I saw. Kurogane yes, Syaron certatinly no. A combination of insanity mixed in with good looking kicks. There is a definate resemble in styles of combat from CCS to Tsubasa Chronicle with Syaron.

Mina · « **Reply #13 on:** March 31 2006, 01:27 pm »

I have absolutely no knowledge of different types of fighting but I always felt that Syaoran's "style" of fighting was his own... (or rather, Seishirou's... since it's him who taught Syaoran to fight)... he uses kicks instead of punches because of his blindness in the right eye. Had he not been blind on the right eye, he would probably use hands to fight as well...

or maybe that's how I think due to lack of knowledge in styles of fighting..

Xiao_Lang · « **Reply #14 on:** March 31 2006, 06:42 pm »

well, I'd be happy to try to help anyone if they want to know more about tae kwon do since I studied it for 6 years ^__^

To be honest I think CLAMP didn't really have one dtyle in mind but many different ones ^__^

absolutely right, though i think ... a cup of tkd with a bit of karate mixed in and a pinch of kung fu = syaoran's fighting style

Hello!

I took up a bit of taekwondo so I have an idea of how it's done. Now that you mention it, I guess Syaoran's fighting style is sorta like taekwondo, but I was thinking it was more of a street fighting like thing. Haha, either that or an anime-type fighting style. I mean, I honestly think almost all anime characters fight in the same way, I mean, if they don't give a definite martial art to it. But then, there are differences. Hmm... Syaoran's fighting style is purely Syaoran! Haha, even though we can't really tell, he's good at it, whatever "it" is he's doing.

syaoran's fighting style synopsis:

kung fu: no- not fluid enough. chinese kung fu is usually very... what's the word... loose and relaxed compared to the next two
karate: no- while karate and tae kwon do share some of the basics, karate does not emphasis kicks as much as tae kwon do.
tae kwon do: yes and no- kicking is a BIG asset in tae kwon do but we also use punches (tho i hate using punches because it requires you to get closer to your opponent and closes the striking distance) most of the kicks that syaoran does are very tae kwon do-esque but he never does a roundhouse kick which is the staple of any good tae kwon do fighter. it's always a side or an axe strike he does. effective but becomes very predictable after awhile. throw in a couple of flips and you no longer have tae kwon do but an anime version of tae kwon do.

i know for a fact that in tae kwon do we do not have flips that can be turned into a kick (refer to the oni-slaying syaoran). it's impossible to do a backflip and kick someone in the process AND at the same time and land perfectly. the first time we see his flying jump kick (ep.

it defin. reminds me of a tae kwon do flying axe kick. as for the rest, they all take after some tae kwon do kicks but at times, it looks like CLAMP may have added a little flare to it. the episode where syaoran is confronted by that stupid son who gets really jacked because of hijitsu for example- when he grabs syaoran's leg and then syaoran uses it to his advantage, that is more of a hwa rang do (different form of korean martial arts) than a tae kwon do move.

sorry for the long-winded talk but i got interested in this particular anime because a friend kept annoying me about these "awesome" kicks that this character kept doing. glad i saw this post. hope this clarifies things.

Did anyone else notise this about Syaoran's style?
Seishirou taught him, but it's very different to TB!Seishirou's style. He was much more a "stab em in the heart with your pointy hand" kinda guy. Syaoran asked to be taught how to fight because Seishirou was alao missing an eye. You'd assume they have the same style. So AU Seishirou fights differently... not really important but something I notised.
TRC!Kamui fights with TB!Seishirou's fighting style.
