In addition to Jujitsu and Chen Taijiquan, which I studied for a number of years, I also attended various seminars for Wing Tsun, Krav Maga and Kobudo (traditional weapons such as bo, sai, tonfa and nunchaku), just to see what they were like. I've never tried boxing, which would interest me.
I discovered that whether you are studying weapons or empty-hand systems, it all comes down to balance, stability and the right body structure (stance, angles, etc.). ILC focuses on these issues right at the beginning of training, which makes a lot of sense.
