Anyone here do Martial Arts?


Hey people! I wanna learn how to kick serious buttocks, a.k.a learning a Martial Art, and I don't have a clue what to do! Does anyone here 'know the ways of [insert random dead japanese warrior name here]' and what does it involve?

I'm thinking of doing Iaido, involving the drawing of a sword, the death cut, the cleaning of blood from the blade (!) and the final returning of sword to the scabbard.

Well I did a bit of kung fu... hated it dropped it lol since they dont show us traditional kung fu here they show a variation of it for street fighting in America (at least here thats the way they show it lol)

I did medieval combat and still do it. (I tried every weapon I could... my favorite is the sword but there is alot of them coming in next month so I will have some new toys lol)

I will start two things soon: Bo (quarter-staff) and Bushido!

and as my friend who went toe to toe with his bushido master said!: I Blocked all of his hits! With my ribs!

I wanna use a staff, but no where local does anything with it. I guess a Katana is just as much fun

I tried Kickboxing once, it was boring and you had to do about 30 minutes exercise before you actually got to kick something! AND that something happened to be air! I guess that weapons related arts have less exercise.

I was a brown belt in tae kwon do, but I got tired of paying money to land on my head on a wood floor.

What do you want to learn for?

I'm a blue belt in Tae Kwon Do, but we moved away from the training center.

However, I am a firm beliver that fighting is for when you run out of bullets.

First defense:



Second defense:
