GazB Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 what martial art do you Train? Thai Boxing how long have you been training? Not too long what else have you done? Taekwondo when I was younger for around a year. why do you train in the art that you train in? Because it's the most violent and physically challenging I could find. Requires extreme self-motivation and willpower, plus a set of balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 - Ju-Jitsu for coming up to a year. - Muay Thai for about 4 months. Why? I like the technical nature of JJ and the way that you use an opponent's force to disarm them. Also a good way of restraining people without having to strike them, and for learning how to fall and roll properly. I like MT because it's the opposite - relatively simple but very brutal moves. I can imagine MT being effective quite quickly whereas I can see JJ only being effective in a real situation after many years of training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguk Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Not training at the moment some prat ran me over in her car but; 10 years in Shotokan Karate as student and teacher have also studied Aikido and Kendo, Iado. started training for defence and application and worked a couple of years as a door man. Was interested in control of violence not violence itself and pride myself on never have unnecessarily hurt anyone when working the door. I love Japanese history and culture and enjoy the traditional aspects. my martial arts now affects my approach to life and I now realise the enemy was me all the time and once I mastered that life was pretty good through these systems. Bit deep but the Martial Arts can get you that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I used to train in Shotokan Karate back when I was 14, but gave it up when I went away to college in the early 90s, and haven't really had the time or chance to get back into it since, although I'd like to, for the exercise more than anything. I just have a busy weekly schedule at the moment so it's hard fitting anything like that in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
