What style of martial arts do you train in?

A while ago I trained in Gojuryu karate for a couple of years. But I quit that becuase it sucked. I was an Orange belt or 7th Kyu rank.





I took Shorin Ryu for the past 2 years and have a blue belt (5th kyu). That's mostly just kata and forms training but we use weapons like the bo and sai now. I also take these Self defence and fitness classes at my gym where the instructor teaches a mix of different styles like hapkido, jujitsu, free style karate, and alot of grappling.

What style of martial arts do you train in?
Right now I train in jujitsu, kickboxing, and MMA. I did tae kwon do in college, but found it wasn't a great fit for me. I really enjoy the full-contact sparring instead of point sparring.

they love it!
Reply:i took taekwondo for 2 years starting at 6 yrs old and now im currently studying choy li fut kung fu which i love more than taekwondo.
Reply:I am a student of Wing Chun Kung Fu.





I've tried TKD and Kenpo but found that WC fits my needs best.
Reply:San Soo for life. I had a Big brother that taught me better- believe in what is fact and not what is fiction. I dabble as all should, today we are lucky to have such skilled folks ready and willing to share.


What works, works!
Reply:Probably limited to whats available. I took kung fu style and some tai chi.. but if you are young and flexible i recommend wu-shu. Dr. Ing brought it here and John Dufraysne who was the nr 2 in weapons style some years back was my close friend. Its an amazing form. heres a link to you tube but all you have to do is put in wushu and watch them all. John went to beijing every year to study and help teach with this group. I think you will enjoy it.. ps i love the spear form.

Reply:Tang Soo Do as an art and Freestyle Wrestling as a school sport.
Reply:I started Jujitsu at the age of 9 but stopped after a year cause of feet injury (well it wasnt so dramatic but I was afraid that I would give good kicks).





Started again after around 7 years with the same master in Greece for a couple of years. After that I stopped for exams for a year and then I did for another year and went to a panellenic championship where I got to be with all the master athletes cause in my division there werent any others... and I lost :P





I left Greece to study in UK and I ve been training Capoeira for a year in Cardiff.





Now I wanted to start Wing Chun along with capoeira, cause Capoeira is non-contact and I wanted some more sparring but there arent any masters near here so I decided to take up Tae Kwon Do next year as it has more sparring and that way I can improve my kicks as well.





What I decided to do after these years of martial arts is to train under different arts after getting a solid foundation in Jujitsu and my master and fix my acrobatics(which still suck) my kicks and my sparring in order to be good in everything.





The funny thing is that I had never watched a Bruce Lee film till recently and as he decided the art of no art, I said the art of all arts and here I am :o)
Reply:Ive been doing Tae Kwon Do for the last 10 or so years, it really depends on the instructor if you would last in a fight or not, some are out for money

Reply:Shito-ryu karatedo and Hakko-ryu jujutsu. I refuse to wear that dam skirt.





Kobudo is also taught at the place I go to but bleh
Reply:Hey there I train in Muay Thai. (Thai boxing / Kickboxing)





An easy way to describe it is that its like kickboxing but you use these as your weapons:


- kicks


- knees


- punches


- elbows


We also do grappling so that is similar to BJJ.


I love it and have just started to compete. It seriously is a test against yourself. Each week you feel yourself getting stronger and fitter.
