Any martial arts enthusiasts here?
I myself like martial arts. Maybe not necessarily as an avid fan who watches every fight of my favourite fighter, but as a mean to have a well-conditioned and healthy body.
So, anyone here likes martial arts? If yes, for what reasons? If no, why?

I have boxed from 12 and done Muay Thai from 19. I have dabbled in other things but they are the two I enjoy.

Cool. I did boxing too. Possibly the best all-around work-out I have ever tried.

It is, it's a lot more fun than just going to a gym for aesthetic reasons and it teaches co-ordination like almost nothing else. Also after you have been punched in the face a few times you do lose your fear of being punched in the face to a point.

Tae kwon do, kwon bup, aikido, boxing. Not an expert in any of them, but have had training (in some more than others).

Don't know what kwon bup is. Hmm.
BTW what would you say is the best martial art for self-defence?

It was a style I studied while in graduate school in Fresno, CA. Combo hard/soft, 50/50 kicks/punches. Years later -- since I couldn't find anything about it back on the East Coast -- I figured it may've been a style my instructor made up. I remember once this tongue of flame coming out of the back room, and out stepped my instructor with some sort of flamethrower. "Kwon bup weapon," he said with a sly grin.

As the saying goes, it's not the martial art, it's the martial artist who makes the difference. That aside, if I had to pick a style, I'm inclined toward aikido. But then, this generally defensive art may not be to the liking of someone who wants a more aggressive approach.

MMA is best for overall self-defense.
For you Star Wars fans: Form VI Niman is the most well-rounded and isn't susceptible to weaknesses of other forms.

Yeah I can agree with that saying.
There is actually an Aikido school near me, but I haven't checked it out yet.

I'm really into HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts).
Swordplay mainly, but also Hand-to-Hand techniques.
