I did some Jiu Jitsu for a while. My friend took Jeet kun do, but his puny striking art was no match for my grappling

I wish I still trained, it was fun, good exercise, and gave me some physical confidence. I didn't realize how vulnerable I was until I started training. I thought It would be easy to just punch someone in the face, I was dead wrong. Ever since then i've been obsessed with grappling/submission martial arts more than stuff like karate and tae kwan do, for some reason karate just seems more like aerobics to me anymore. Probably because they give 5 year olds black belts for knowing forms... Now a Korean who's been training since he was a kid... Now THAT'S deadly... A 5 year old black belt? Not so deadly

I'm still considering tae kwan do for no other reason than to get some exercise.

Kendo is fun!

Hell of a lot more fun than all the fucking seiza starting point Iaido katas.

If I tried those now, I'd probably cramp into that spot and need a doctor to un-pretzel me.

Took Wing-Chun Kung Fu for 6 years, Chito Ryu Karate for 2.

The Academy I was at for Kung Fu turned into a disguishingly bad McDojo, and the Karate just wasn't for me.

Im considering taking boxing, fencing, yoga, or maybe something completely different when Im done College, who knows?

I got a black belt in kenjutsu and a brown belt in karate, I started training when I was seven and stopped when I turned 20.

I've trained in Taekwondo, jiujitsu, MMA and I'm currently looking into Baguazhang. I'm just a little too beat to shit now to really be doing the high impact stuff.

I couldn't deal with the Take-your-dough BS with Taekwondo and people who really didn't deserve to gain rank basically buying their belts.

I've been training Taekwon-Do ITF for 2 and a half years now. I'm up to 5th gup. Long way to go. But I love it.

Trained Thaiboxing (Muay Thai) for 3 years. Tore 2 tendons in my right ankle one year, tore a ligament in my left ankle a year later. Just now getting to where I can start it again. And no, not UFC Muay Thai.

As in, Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai. Fighters like Buakaw, Kaoklai, Bonjasky, etc...

I love it and miss it so much. It was so hard to leave it.

I trained for about 5 years with brazilian jiu jitsu my trainer was tough but it all paid off I still do a little training not as much though.
