Martial Arts

[Sarayashiki Punk #1]

Who here does any type of martial art? Alot of anime deals with martial arts so I was wondering who actually does any.

I am a black blet in Tang Soo Do/Moo Duk Kwan
and have trained in Hap Ki Do, Ai Ki Do and Jujitsu.

[Akihiko Yamamoto Hozagaki]

I have a black belt in Kajukenbo which is a form of street fighting. Very viscous (SP?) o_o.

Ka - Karate
Ju - Jujitsu
Ken - Kendo (yes, I really used swords XD!)
Bo - Kick boxing

However, I had to quit since my school shut down. So I just go into a new type called small circle jujitsu. On top of that, I'm starting escreama (Serata style) classes, which is a form of Korean/Filipino/Japanese stick fighting. Yup, I'm really excited ^^!

Closest thing I have had to Martial arts is probably boxing, I did Aikido for a couple of months, that's a pretty useless art to study unless you go on for years with it.

[Twig Ee]

I do Ishinryu and im almost a black belt

[Sagat]

I have experience in jiujitsu from mixed martial arts club I am in (although that is on hiatus cause of my knee injury) but the majority of my martial arts training comes from Muay thai kickboxing ... hence my username and everything else.

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

Soon as I raise enough money, I'm going to try and take one. I'm not sure though, for I have little knowledge of what I can do.

Well it depends on your build, if you are a small skinny man you might want to attempt a martial arts that uses the opponents strength against them, like Aikido, ninjitsu etc.

But at the same time if you want something more body strenuous you might want to go for karate, kick boxing etc.

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

I am Skmall and skinny...Hmm hopefully they'll have classes like that around here. If not...I'll just break down and cry.

[Nosferatu Karyuudo]

Ummm..I do boxing...

[Sarayashiki Punk #1]

I'm also looking for a new art to study but I'm having trouble deciding. I want to do something that focuses on the art more than competing. Any Suggestions?

[JuicedUp]

I did a form of Tae Kwon-Do for only two or three years, but I can still kick my friend's butt at sparring. And he's a 2nd-degree black belt.

Traditional karate. The kind that teaches you endless amounts of kata, how you "should" block with an upright fist against a certain attack, one that makes you meditate and learn the teachings of some dead guy. You know, like Shotokan, Goju-Ryu, something like that.

Useless as a pack of pixie stix in a real fight, but it's chock full of that yummy art you want.

[Hamashimura]

I train Kenjutsu...
I just love swords,and I do own a japanese katana...
There were times where I was asking myself - kenjutsu or taijutsu?
I love both,but since I love swords more...

[Eris]

I've been wanting to learn Zui Quan ever since I saw that Jackie Chan movie about it. Just because it would be so immensely cool to know. But it's not going to happen, mainly because I'm about as agile as a rock, and have the dexterity of a bulldozer.

I have developed my own style of martial arts. It is entirely devoted to the flawless execution of a punch straight in the face of the opponent, without them seeing it coming or knowing what hit them. I've dubbed it "the furious fist that breaks your nose and sends you flying on your butt."

[lordrellik8]

I have done some karate, boxing, and kick boxing
but like free style the best?

[ParaParaJMo]

I started out doing Tae Kwon Do from 1st to 6th grade because I got bored of it. Then in Jr. High I tried wrestling but it didn't work out for me because I didn't get along with anybody at the school.

Then I learned catch wrestling from a family friend in high school.

Then when I was in Japan last year, I did Judo, Brazilian Jiujitsu, Boxing, and Kickboxing.

Now I train at an MMA gym.

[Zoga]

I train Boxing . Best and hardest sport in my life after soccer.

[Nausicaa]

I do many different kinds of martial arts, I like to learn different martial arts and put them all together.

[Buruku]

I did Karate for two years, I stopped going because I got way to busy with school, but I think I should have stuck with it.

Out of all the things I've done Karate was one of the ones I enjoyed the most, and I'd definitly get back into Martial arts if time and money is in my favor. Its just so much fun, as well as rewarding.

[The Castle]

Same here so... yeah.

[niKopol]

I was learning Brazillian Ju Jitsu... I didn't care for it too much.
It seemed almost as if it was mostly defence movements. Because the main thing that was constantly banged into my head was "90% of fights end up on the ground".

I was almost level 1 qualified. Which is the basics.

Kie- "Kung-Fu Grip of Death"
*squeezes a random newb* -99999999 hp
newb - "ow"
*newb dies*
Kie - ZOMG, what have I done?!?
Mysterious Voice - Its ok. Hundreds join everyday and never come back.

[drm0ney]

I do judo and Tae Kwon Do. I've done Judo for almost 8 years and TKD for a few months. They're totally different so its nice to have moves that aren't all the same just another name. Whats kinda cool is they're the only types of martial arts in the Olympic Games.(Or that's what I've read)

[DOOM!]

Martial Arts? No seriously, you'd look like a douche trying out those.

[Tetsanosuke]

I have taken Karate several times in my life, but after a while I found that I couldn't commit to it anymore. Now I just try my best at what I know and use it accordingly. Mostly for spiritual purposes, but I can own Faro and Jack of Blades in a two on one fight.

>.>;;

And well.. I was thinking about getting into a Kendo Club or Dojo at UoM, but then I realized I wouldn't be able to motivate myself or stay committed.

As much as I love martial arts and swords, as much discipline as I have already, and as much as I know ~ I just can't bring myself to get into that anymore. At least not at the moment.

[riyo himura]

i just started teakwando few months ago and i'm having yellow 1 for the moment. will be going for grading in sept.
