martial arts

[ksizzle]

anyone into martial arts at all here? i loved karate when i did it (only reached purple belt before my teacher went pro and i've never found anyone else like him) and one of my favourite things to do when im blazed is to freestyle it and make as many combos as i can

yeah i used to do karate when i was younger, didnt stick at too long tho, now i'm more into sword fighting styles... i practise Koto-Chi (when i can be arsed... me = lazy git) and have only ever sparred once with my cousin.

i am planning on getting a bunch of books on monkey style kung fu and drunken boxing, so i can learn drunken monkey boxing kung fu, theres nobody any where near where i live that even knows kung fu, so i resort to books

I started karate as a kid back in '95 and was in it for 9 years, but so many activities lately haven't allowed me to go back even though I want to.

well i think karate is a waste of time. i have been practicing juijitsu for 11 years and have never lost to anyone who practiced karate. any fighting style is cool though..

Ju-jitsu and Japanese Karate are VERY similar so I don't know about it being that much better.

I'm fairly skilled at the ancient art of Kik-emindanuts and Runawae.

^ Funny.

I like to train in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and submission fighting.. Pride/UFC stuff, ya know.

Karate is pretty shitty imo.

I did World Oyama Karate for a few years and fought a few knockdown tourney's (winning the last) and then moved onto reality/street defense (only school in our state that does this). We train to fight all ranges- from projectiles, to striking, to grappling including weapons. We have a submission fighting tournament coming up that I was supposed to be competing in but fell down a ladder at work last week and got injured.

I spend a lot of my time outside of work training and at the gym lifting weights and along with a few other toking buddies, am in an instructor's training program, all with hopes of running/owning our own school.

:D

well its pretty clear that im not that well-versed in martial arts, but i still love them and the whole art of fighting, which is something ive taught myself gradually so that now i have my own style (not saying im some kickass uber-warrior or anything, but i can hold my own) and i love fighting as many people as i can (in sport) to learn about them and their personal styles. idk i just think you can read a lot about a person in the way they fight

[Hardcore Newbie]

I practice for MMA, but haven't in the last 4 months... my lower back kills me sometimes.

I also invented my own style, hilariously named "blunted fist".
