well i remember after the first day i got this game, when i went to work that same day i was doing mock stances and martial arts moves on my workmates, who got pissed off and told me to stop it.

ever since i was a kid ive loved martial arts, n i train a few different styles.
because of this i love fighting games, and because of this i love mortal kombat :)

I do pratice Tae kwon do at home. So a better martial art feel to the game will make it better.

Im running around kicking stuff...like...my cat no but I ́m trying to learn Tae kwan do a friend of mine got like...green belt...i think :-p MK makes me wanna kick someone ́s head of

My thing is to like, poke somebody in the eye, like shang shung and apologize, then blame it on the game.
this one guy's talkin about pressing charges. I told him it was a joke and he just got all mad about it. what's wrong with people these days?

but no, seriously.

I used to do Karate Rydo Ryu style I think. I got really good and loved kicking ass, but my damn teacher (sensei) loved pain to much and liked to lay all the students on the floor while he jumped on us to "test our strength", no bull shit, he was a crazy ass mother fucker!

But there was two teachers and one of them was older and more wiser and taught to teach us defence rather then how to cause pain, lol.

Mortal Kombat reminds me of this and hey, when I was younger I could do a Bicycle kick, well about 4 kicks in mid air, lol.

Nick.

Well, it might kick it up a little, as people only are aware of some martial arts, like Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Judo, Aikido. Also, most people think that Kung Fu and Karate are fighting styles, although there are many styles of Karate, and even more of Kung Fu (actually Kung Fu is more a life style, the various kung fu styles have completely independent names that don't even include Kung Fu).

The thing is that not all the moves of the martial arts used in the game belong to the martial art in question. They are just similar to it. For example, there are lots of attacks in both Judo and Aikido in MKDA, although in real life training, those martial arts focus way more on grabbing and pressing weak spots around the body, using very little strikes (like punches and kicks, etc.).

Although, if any of you think they can kick someone in the face in a Karate strike and make them bleed for a while...well, you can, but your sensei/sifu/teacher/master/wtv won't like it. And neither will the guy of whom you break the nose.

I still practise Shotokan Karate (yes, Sub-Zero's style) and I must say the game actually gives me some idea's. If there should be fighting games which make people interested in martial arts, MK:DA is the number one example.

anybody else?

I'm taking up Tae Kwon Do because of the game!

my mom bought me a punch bag coz i kept kickin the wall...i sprained my foot :) :)
