Martial Arts anyone?

[MountainHiker]

Wow, it's really cool to see so many martial artists coming out of the woodwork. It's good to know that there are others out there who share my passion.

  well I just started training wushu, and to be honest I injured my knee in two days . It is not as easy as it looks like. Can't wait for my knee to pull it back together so I can continue. It is amazing how much you can do with your body if you just give it a try. My bf did some karate, and because of my crazy family I have never been alowed to train something so I do have this burning wish to do my best at wushu and show them I am more than just a potatoe on sofa..

  grappling with a naked man would be way too awkward.

Speak for yourself ;).

Nah, just kidding.

You know, it would really depend on the guy... I might make an exception to that, if it were in private and he was incredibly attractive. Maybe. I generally don't roll that way.

I don't know if you'd call it a martial art, but I've been doing Krav Maga for a while until work got in the way. Luckily it looks like I have tons of free time now, so I get to head back to the gym. woo! I'm about to be a friggen beast.

I started Tae Kwon Do Chung Do Kwan when I was 12.  Got a black belt in that, dabbled in MMA, and I've never had a single joint injury or anything major really, even playing some college football.

I guess you could say I'm self taught. I'm a good fighter, and I'm different in the sense that I fight logically, not physically. My friend Max and I fight for fun (don't worry, we have rules & precautions), and he's more physically fit than I am, but I usually win anyways.

Dude, if there're any martial arts schools in your area and it's within the realm of possibility to do so, you should get some training. It's good for body, mind, and sanity!

I ain't gots no quarters, though!

[MountainHiker]

Like I said, if it's in the realm of possibility, you should do it. Maybe someday soon you'll earn enough bits to earn your keep in a good dojo/gym/martial arts school. Or you could go full poser and watch a bunch of crappy youtube videos on how to 'wrassle', make videos, post them up so we can see them and laugh... Yeah, don't do that.

I'd never be able to hold my own against a real martial artist. I've tried. It did not fare long.

With a bit of training, I'm sure you'd be just fine.

With a bit of training, I'm sure you'd be just fine.

And with a bit more training, you'd be awesome!

I'm a blackbelt in Tang Soo Do (Soo Bahk Do).  I'm only an "Il Dan" (1st Degree Black Belt) and that's partly due to inconsistent practice/dojang membership the last couple years.  I've been practicing for about six years now though.



This one is of me just after I started training while stationed in Korea.


This is me the day I was awarded my green belt.

Sadly, I didn't have a working camera when I got my red or black belts.  I am planning on joining the local dojang again soon and getting back into regular practice.  I want my "E Dan" and "Sam Dan" belts so I can be an instructor (3rd and 4th Degree belts).

I teach TSD but with a different association.  I also have a history in TKD, American karate, and BJJ
I love martial arts  its basically my life lol.
Me and a few friends have done BJJ in jockstrap  much much more difficult to do because there are no way to do lapel grabs
