Martial Arts

[MiniMag84]

Any of you guys like martial arts?

I'm a brown belt in Wado-ki, white belt in Taekwondo, and I've studied Muay Thai for a few months.

2nd Degree Black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Red Belt in Karate, taken some Brazillian Judo, Done alittle...very little kick boxing and a few years of Grecco Roman Wrestling.

One of my instructors, Jeff, has been studying the oldest (arguably) martial art in existence. It's called Do. Cool stuff.

been studying seven star praying mantis since 99. capoeira since october.

In Karate I'm a blue belt, in Kenpo I'm a purple belt. Funny thing is, both belts are the same number away from the starting belt. Studied both for 2 years, started with Karate and would have stuck with it but the head-guy ran away with everyone's money and they never caught him :rolleyes: .:( :(

I wrastled in High school and took 3rd in state. I should have taken at least 2nd, but I was being a pussy the first day and decided to let myself get beat. The only other martial art that I would want to do is Brazilian ju jitsu or however you spell it. Royce Gracie was one bad man.

[ASDadam]

Brazillian Judo is some awesome stuff. The goal is submissions. Thats the only way you can win. I've seen a 15 year old girl take a 23 year old man out. Its all about controlling your body and being able to twist them and yourself to the advantage point. Amazing stuff, anyone interested should look into giving it a shot.

I've always wanted to learn a martial art. I've been thinkin of trying kungfu, but I'm not sure if my schedule will allow it.
How much of a weekly time requirement does it require?

[Doobie]

You've insulted me twice with no reason in the same thread. But, I'm going to set that aside and let you know that my Dojang makes you learn these moves before you become a while belt.
