Any martial artists?

Title says it all. Are there any people here who have martial arts experience? What fighting system or systems have you subscribed too? Any plans for your martial future?

If you don't have any experience with the martial arts, but are in any way interested, I'm sure those with experience pertinent to the subject would be willing to answer most any question.

I personally have studied the arts of ass-kicking since I was, I dunno, five or six. I began by learning Tae Kwon Do, and though I was very young at the time that particular art laid the foundation for my future study; indeed, vestiges of my Tae Kwon Do training are visible to this very day to those with a keen eye--I love kicking (I'm well aware of the situational factors which often limit kicking's practicality in a violent encounter, kthxbye), and am very partial to striking in general. Anyway, I spent the bulk of my life learning Tang Soo Do, which is very similar to Tae Kwon Do--more hand-work. And finally, I spent about two years studying Goshin Ryu, a form of Karate.

My grappling skills are, um, fucking shitty. Only the most basic of  basic shit, learned during the "self-defense" focus that was a part of some of my training, and from youtube. Hopefully I'll find somebody to teach me some grappling and throwing (once I'm done with college, so busy, and poor).

I don't think spanking other naked dudes with twigs in the sauna counts as a martial art Xant...

TKD for many years and working on getting to blackbelt in Hapkido currently.

Also did about a years worth of jujitsu, and I spend an hour or so every month working on kali stick fighting.

I would highly recommend checking hapkido out, the only tough part is finding a place that is legit and not just fluff.

Not me but my brother did Jujistu for many years, national gold medalist for England at one stage in some area (controlled fight or something similar). Gave up because he got more and more stressed over it.

I'll also point the buck towards Gisbert_of_Thuringia, I believe he is some form of martial artist.

I used to train Submission Grappling and Jiu Jitsu. Sub Grappling contains alot of Jits techniques, but it also used alot of wrestling too, I used it to mainly learn my wrestling and to practice my overall skill set, Jiu Jitsu is where I would drill and learn new jits techniques.

 I also spent time working on Muay Thai, mainly for the knees in clinch and the kicks, with my Russian friend who grew up learning it. I've always been pretty good with my hands since I was a kid, my Dad was a boxer and used to teach me how to throw punches properly and how to box overall, I'm not an amazing boxer or anything, but I punch pretty hard for a small guy.

One of my best mates fights Muay Thai and K-1 Rules kickboxing, it's always great to go and see him fight, sadly I think I will miss his next fight due to work :(.

Yes, I know from whence I came! Discontented as a flame, Upon myself I live and glow. All I grasp like lightning flashes, All I leave behind is ashes
Flame I am - that much I know!

Martial arts a cool and flashy, and can be very useful in certain situations.

But if an experienced guy draws a weapon.. It can be a pain depending on what martial art you know.

 :)

PS: I know that most are basically used for competitions and stuff, but me myself, I like practical things that can be used in real life with high effectivity.  :wink:

Yeah man. Better to lay on the floor and just beg for the gunman to make it quick.

And also guns are cool and flashy, and can be very useful in certain situations.

But if a nuclear-weapon state sends nukes against someone with a gun... it can be a pain depending on what gun you own.
