Anyone ever study martial arts?
 

8 years of Taekwondo

got any nudes... :Graucho

i teach it still :) 1400+ members in karate and 800+ in kickboxing :P

3 years of Tenage Ninja Turtle on Nintendo

I just signed up for TaeKwonDo today! and start tommorow :) i am pretty excited about it LOL hopefullly it all works out :thumbsup

Martial artists are pussies.

I got a yellow belt once...

I did two years of each of the following consecutivly:

Tae Kwon Do
Shotokan Karate
Aikido
Okinawa Weapons
Tai Ken Ju-Ryu

I havn't studied for about two years now...but next monday I'm signing up again. This time doing Jujit-su...

=)

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

I would suggest yoga over TKD, it's more useful in a fight, at least you'll be flexible ;)

lol sure :winkwink:

:1orglaugh

our one instructor trained with the gracie family, always goes away to do seminars for that.. guy is dangerous!

I'm training with Rick Layton(He trained with Royce Gracie for a very long time..)

Looking forward to it.

I'm fortunate enough to live in LA, close to Torrance. I get to train with the Gracies every day. They're amazing. Truly amazing. For the first six months or so of your training, Rener or Ryron Gracie can beat you laying on his back using just his legs, sounds crazy but it's a fact. You can't penetrate past their legs and when you get a little tired they'll just let you drop into a triangle and out go the lights.

I've seen them let strong, coordinated men put them in a fully applied rear naked choke and escape from it. Crazy stuff.

Mantis, Tai Chi and CHi Kung - for not half as long as I should have done. i should really get back into it... :(

Ah I didn't do that shitty americanized tippy tappy pussy TKD, I did World Taekwondo Federation TKD, the full contact kind that's in the olympics.

if it isn't in NHB don't bother. If it worked, they'd use it.

awesome :thumbsup

The "Gracies" must be the biggest brazilian family ever. Places all around Brazil named "(insert first name here) Gracie Jiu-Jitsu".

Prove it.

there are a TON of Gracies now and they all fight or teach. It's a family tradition.

There's a good family chart at http://www.igjjf.com

tai-chi-chuan at the park to ease my mind and soul and be flexible, kickboxing workout at home for strength and stress relief...

For the first 18 Years of my life I lived in seclusion in a monastery in the Himalaya's. When I turned 18 I ventured out to someday return as a man...

I never came back and got into porn :Graucho

J/K

never really studied martial arts aside from watching movies and stuff.

did 5 years of tae kwon do as a kid. Enjoyed it alot.

7 years of Taekwondo

But it's been a while :)

Why?

I have studied Martial Arts for the last 27 years. Mainly Tae Kwon Do (Rhee and Traditional), Wing Chun, Karate (Shotokan), Aikido (Fuji-Ryu), Boxing and Kick Boxing, Ninjitsu, and Jeet Kune Do.

I instructed for a few years and used to live with a a few Martial Artists, one who was an Australian Shotokan champion and another who had personally studied with Grandmaster William Cheung. It was great I used to be attacked regularly and unexpectedly by 3 or 4 attackers all who had black belts in more than one Martial Art. I learned as much in that environment as in any Dojo.

I am now teaching my 18 month old daughter Aikido basics. She is amazing! :thumbsup

I graduated from Ninja school.

Aikido
Small Circle JuJitsu

I did some cross training in these as well:
Judo, Hapkido, Kick Boxing, Wing Chun.

Gracie Jiu Jitsu... absolutely LOVE it!

10 years of TKD also, got my degree 3 years ago and havent practiced since then, at least physical practice, cause I still study and read a lot about all martial arts.

Good to see many here are into martial arts and I'm surprised most of them are into TKD, that's cool :)

172 years of Taekwondo! Masta Grasshoppa!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh that's true!!! Most people dont even know they are from Brazil

I watched a lot of kung fu movies as a kid.. does that count?

lots of it, yes :)

Aikido
Kenpo
Kendo
Wu Shu Kung Fu

Im a black belt

I did a few years of Judo then TKD...
The Gracies ROCK... I have a couple of their training videos.
The NHB fights have renewed my respect for Jiujitsu

My situational awareness has improved with paintball games - lol

I have lost a fight in training or sparring,
but never lost a street fight :thumbsup

I have had two life threatening challenges
(one knife and one gun)
both encounters were over in less than 10 seconds
no injuries for me, wish I could say the same for them!

My favorite TKD instructors quotes "one punch fight over" or "one kick fight over"

Dirty D bows in respect to his affiliates!

Im sure I could take you :1orglaugh Girls... lol

I took Taekwondo for years, but quit after being a brown belt. Now my son is only 3 belts from being a black belt! :)
