DITTO!!!!! HAHAHAH!!!! Exactly te same!!!

I used to go to korean karate, didn't like my teacher either quit after a year.

Hawaii Okinawa Kenpo Karate at Ford Island.

I used to take this when I was stationed in Hawaii. It had that ancient/traditional feel

Used to compete at a high level of Judo.

Currently 1st degree black belt in TKD and competing at high ranks tournaments.

Just started Shotokan and I'm currently white belt.

a Tkd praticitionor and a White Tiger Kung fu Praticitionor also.

a passion for Ninjutsu for sure.

...I could've sworn there was already a martial arts topic.


Anyway, former street fighter. Use my own blended style.

well I do think that the martial arts when applied correctly are alot deadlier than most people think.

Lo Blo Fu
Specializes in attacks to the opponent's groin; over 3000 varieties.

interesting

no less painful.

Cool, that makes me not the only one then

I've also done TKD, Zen Do Kai Karate (non traditional, completely different to GKR, got my black belt in this about 5-6 years ago), Muay Thai, aswell as dabbling in Escrima (part of ZDK was weapons training, I went with Kali sticks and my Sensei had actually done the style to which they belong).

Looking to start Capoeira soon, mainly for the balance, speed and endurance I'll gain from it. While I don't feel that it's the most practical style ever, I do feel that it's a style that takes alot more balance and endurance than any other art I can personally think of. In 4-5 seconds of being in stance (Jenga, don't ask about the spelling, I have no idea) in Capoeira you've probably moved more than you would in an entire fight using a style such as Karate or Muay Thai.

Besides that, I'd like to try out plenty of other styles. Something with a strong focus on grappling such as BJJ would probably be next on my list, then a Chinese art such as Wing Chun or Qi Gong later on in my 20's... From there, fuck knows what I'll do (too many arts to choose from, each with their strong points), but after 17 years of martial arts all I do know is I wont be stopping untill I A) Die or B) Slip into a drug induced coma that leaves me paralysed

Once I can find someone who can teach the Snake style, i'm totally gonna dedicate my life to mastering this art.

Karate. nuff said

Oh yeah, and street fights a couple of years too, but that's not really what i'd put in "My life highlights"
Oh yeah, i also had a feeling something similar had been done before...

no matter what style you pratice make sure you pratice it with all your heart until personal perfection and if you find your dream style then crosstraining in current and dream style unto perfection.

Jeet Kune Do and Shaolin Black Dragon

Jeet Kune do: to be in the real Jeet kune do box, you need to be thinking outside of the box. Bruce Lee did teach this princple and should be applied to Jeet Kune do and as well as your personal martial art.

Shaolin Black Dragon: powerful martial art that is a good companion martial art to Jeet Kune do.

The whole point of JKD is that there is no point. And Shaolin Black Dragon has been pretty hard on me so far...

I use the martial arts style called pra'jec' fist. But I am intrested in judo and capoeira.

that is a good point about JKD.


JKD is about thinking outside of the box while being praticial.

It is alright to incorpate your favorite techiques into JKD to make it more personal.

Two JKD praticitioner can have totally different verison of it while keeping JKD conpects alive.

i Am Learning Hapikido Now I Am A Red belt

About Jeet kune do, has anybody read the book by Bruce Lee? It's really great, and if you were hesitating i recommend it. Good stuff.
