[Hexer]

was wondering if any of you do any and which ones

I recently (like one month before christmas) started to learn/train Pekiti Tirsia Kali for several reasons:

1. I NEED to do some kind of sports again after not doing any sport seriously for the last 4 years (or a bit more)
2. I have been interested in martial arts for ages
3. when I found out about Kali I instantly liked everything I found out about it and yea, its quite a lot of fun really

oh and I feel it may actually help a bit with selfdefence should I ever need that


what about you guys 'n gals?

[Oneiros]

yey kali is cool, I have sparringed with kali practicioner.
I train Kendo, before I trained Wing Chun.
Now I train some koruy (old traditional styles) bujinkan taijutsu/ninjutsu and its very interesting

I like the kali sparring gear, It is easy to wear while the kendo equipment is heavy like hell and claustrophobic LOL

[Desecrated]

I tried kali/escrima a little and it's fun n' easy. If it's affordable then sign up.

I think maybe you should get into the "marital" arts.

That's the best excersize.

[daybean]

is this like taboe?

The only martial arts I've done is Tae kwon do. It was fun when I was little but I got tired of it. I've also done of of the, I guess American version of?, kickboxing.

All I really learned from kickboxing is this:

1.) Short mexican guys are fast as hell and will destroy your face with a tornado of spinning kicks.

2.) Tall black guys have the ability to send little scrawny white boys flying with one kick.


True story.

true stroy, well mexican fighting is almost all boxing, its huge in mexico, but if your talking about asian countries its all kickboxing, with every culture in that great area haven there own take on anything to do with kick,elbows,fists and not forgetting a brutal muytai clicth for those brutal knees. this kind of art is very popular in brazil.

In college I took martial arts, but I haven't done anything with it since. I was taught a mixture of many styles. I took aspects that I liked of each and that's what my personal style is.

I did it for the knowledge and sport of it. I didn't do competitions or anything. I sparred with my partner, but that's it.

I was taught Aikido, Wing Chun, Jiu-Jitsu, Sambo, and Muay Thai. I preferred alot of close quarter/grappling training as it's most likely to be used in a personal defense situation.
