Martial Arts

I've been looking around and there are hardly no topics on martial arts. So i choose to be the one to break the ice. wat martial art do you do or want to get involved in. I do taekwondo but would love to learn kung fu or something.

there are threads...ill pull one up for you...and for the hell of it...i take jiu jitsu but i want to take jeet kune do and wushu as well...

awome, yea i no but some people haven't used it since the 1800's and i thought i would make a new one so that anyone could come on and talk about it. wat kind of things do you do in jiu jitsu?? and jeet kune/wushu?

Its usually associated with submission fighting and it was originated by the samurai. When a samurai had his weapon knocked out of his hands, he couldn't attack the other warrior because of the armor they wear. A punch to samurai armor is useless so Jiu-Jitsu was developed as an alternative. Even with armor, a man can be disabled at the joints (whether breaking them or just a hold that hurts so bad that they can't fight).-Myth

thats the best way to describe i think...btw...check this out!

sweet as thanks. so how often do u train?? do you go in tournaments??

ive never been to a tournament...im only a beginner(white belt) but hopefully im going to get a promotion...but i am planning on going to an isshryu (i know i spelled that wrong!)tournament next year...as for days i go every monday and wensday...also just now ive started going to one of the dojo's blackbelts house to go train...

awsome yea. im black belt in taekwondo, its fun and all but i realli want a variety of martial arts. as i said i would like to do kung fu or karate. this aint realia martial art but i would like to do fiencing?? the one with the swords - that would be funi as

i consider fencing to be a martial art...after all its origin came from all of the dueling that occured in olden days...

yea tru point. i reackon it would be awsome martial art to take. like it would teach you some really good techniques and how to move fast and it would come in handle in the street if someone attacked you, you would no how to get around them etc.

yup...but if i cant take wushu ill take a iaido(japanese sword) class...and that wont be too hard to find since my soke teaches it!

that would be awsome as well. i love mucking round with swords etc

thanks

they have a search on there but theres way too many results...is there anyway to search for one specific art?

umm just looking around on it now

IVE BEEN DOING KARATE 4 6 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH ALOT OF STYLES OF MARTIAL ARTS

awsum. wat belt r u

I used to do Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, boxing, and kick boxing (western)...I quit when i moved a year ago, ive been wanting to go train again but the places to train here are limited and I am going to school so my time is limited so im alittle out of practice, but could still defend myself against most so...

awsome. where do you live?? we have 2 clubs near where i live, so its alright a

I used to live in Minneapolis Minnesota (literally 100s of places to train), now i live in Marshall, MN (population <13000) and there like 2 places i could do tae kwo do, but one has really stupid rules about when you can sign up, and how long you need to sign up for at a time, its high cost.....shit i havent had to deal with in the past, and refuse to start dealing with now....and the other has only very limited hours that dont really work with my schedule and its a different style than I trained in before, and i think that its pretty lame kind of stuff compared to what i was learning before...not very effective, yet showy, so i dunno i guess i cant really do much here till im done with school or i move somewhere else...sigh...
