SCS 7,537 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 I've been learning taekwondo as part of the American Taekwondo Association for about 9-10 years. I reached the rank of 3rd degree black belt in April 2011, which is the highest rank a minor is allowed to reach. I hope to test for my 4th degree black belt in about 2-3 years from now. While I am turning 18 next year, it will take longer than that for me to complete the rest of my midterm testings, as well as fulfilling all of the requirements, and just feeling that I am truly ready for 4th degree black belt. I love taekwondo, and I plan to continue learning it throughout the rest of my life. I will also teach it one day, too. I may also consider learning other martial arts someday in addition to taekwondo, such as krav maga, judo, and jiu jitsu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreigner And Lover 207 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 I took five years or so of karate back in the day. I don't remember much unfortunately. I also took wrestling in high school, which I enjoy practicing on my friends. And no, wrestling is not gay. After watching this one movie called the Raid Redemption, I've been thinking about taking some classes in silat, which is Indonesian. Unfortunately, I can't find any classes and even if I did I couldn't afford it.

Sylentmana 271 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 When I was in high school my parents made me take tae kwon do. I actually made it to black belt despite the fact that I couldn't (and still can't) fight my way out of a wet paper sack. I was just good at memorizing the forms and such. In space, no one can hear you squee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fhaolan 4,483 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 Fencing + what's being called 'Medieval Martial Arts' nowadays, though I think the title is a bit pretentious. It's mostly going over the various fight manuals written by old European combat masters and trying to reconstruct the techniques used in them. It includes unarmed combat, but armed is primary. I've also done Bataireacht, Greek Wrestling, and a few others, but not as a serious study. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbral Noir 1,556 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 I'm quite new to martial arts. I've recently taken up karate, and I'm now a yellow belt. I'm kind of obsessed with martial arts and oriental culture now, so I'm really glad I took it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion RD92 8,658 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 I used to do karate, and I'm actually a black belt. It took like 6-7 years. Although I still suck at karate cause my balance is complete shit and I'm pretty weak, so yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordsman 192 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 I learning and doing right now Tameshigiri(Tameshigiri is the Japanese art of target test cutting. This practice was popularized in the Edo period (17th century) for testing the quality of Japanese swords and continues through the present day.) i also learned some the basics of Aikido and iaido. i am the swordsman now but i have many other martial arts that i study like shooting/combat shooting. I am kind of a rōnin . why do you work for Queen Chrysalis? A samurai duty is to serve his master, regardless of the kind of person she is .

KittsKingdom 3 July 23, 2013 Share July 23, 2013 None of your choices........ I take Aikido which is mostly defensive.. Aikido is a fairly new martial art, so yeah.... Maybe you could add that to the options..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdlz 938 March 1, 2015 Share March 1, 2015 I'm a little surprised JKD (Jeet Kune Do) isn't on there. I used to study JKD a few years ago, but I haven't kept up with it since then. It's a martial art founded by Bruce Lee, and is made up of speed, strength, and flexibility. It's basically a style with no style, as Lee put it. An art comprised of whatever the user deems necessary to win a fight, with fundamental knowledge. It's practical and simple, but also complex and diverse. I have 4 books about Lee and JKD, even copies of the drawings he made while in the hospital from a back injury. 1 https://widekmusic.bandcamp.com/album/journey-to-the-stars ^Space-djent music for Luna.

KatonRyu 1,033 March 1, 2015 Share March 1, 2015 , , and @Apple Bloom Bot are the only ones here who've fenced? I salute the three of you! I was beginning to worry I was the only one here with an interest in fencing. Aside from fencing I've done a bit of judo when I was younger, took one class of krav maga and I intend to take at least one class on Historical European Martial Arts because it seems very interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATA EXPUNGED 324 March 1, 2015 Share March 1, 2015 For the longest time, I was studying Kendo, however, my father convinced me to take up Systema (a russian martial arts). Does the Onion grace my presence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henny Penny Benny 936 March 1, 2015 Share March 1, 2015 For a while, I studied a system of traditional Japanese mixed martial arts, comprised primarily of karate and jiu-jitsu. I'd REALLY love to get back into it at some point, but college has made it darn near impossible to have a hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainDoubloon 856 March 1, 2015 Share March 1, 2015 (edited) I used to do martial arts that taught a style called American Karate which was a mixed of different types of martial arts. I got all the way to purple belt, which was the 6th out of 8 belts down the chain before I stopped.

Frith is Magick 1,471 March 1, 2015 Share March 1, 2015 I've been in Karate for about 5 years now. The style is primarily Okinawan, however our Dojo often host guest instructors of various martial arts, so we have exposure to other techniques, styles, and philosophies. I also recently started Sayoc Kali. Keep flyin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
