Guest Pauly Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Taekwondo (ITF) how long have you been training? 4 years this May what else have you done? Wado Ryu Karate (2.5 years) why do you train in the art that you train in? Because it's good for all round fitness, flexibility and general self defence. Last saturday I had a go with a freestyle Jujitsu class and LOVED it so I'm going back tomorrow. We don't get enough grappling, wrestling or restraining in TKD so I'm really going to enjoy rolling about doing Jujitsu. I need to learn how to 'roll' properly and these guys can teach me that.

Rich Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hmm, if only I wasn't so busy during the week... I'd be up for a bit of training in the fighting art invented by Bruce Lee himself. Purely for exercise and self defence of course, I have no intention of entering a pretend martial arts contest which is really a front for a drugs and prostitution ring on a secret mission to bring down a balding gang boss... WOW! I just described the plot to Enter The Dragon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pauly Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Anyone got any suggestions for a new martial art since I'm now disillusioned with Taekwondo after 4 years and would like to try something with a bit of grappling in it as I've ben punching and kicking for a while now and as a result grappling is foreign to me and I think I'd really enjoy it. I considered Judo. Anyone suggest anything different on the grappling side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickszz Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I would suggest Greco wrestling, however finding somewhere in Sheffield might be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pauly Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Yup, that's what I wondered. Finding a specialised martial art in Sheffield isn't going to be easy so I'd like to go for something that's fairly easy to find. Judo, possibly Jujitsu or Aikido. Anyone know of any good schools I could go to in Sheffield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildrneil Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 There is a shootfighting club in Sheffield which has a pretty good reputation - shootfighting is a mix of freestyle wrestling judo/jui jitsu and thai boxing so I'm guessing the classes are pretty rough if that appeals / put you off? Although you have a background in kicking / punching don't dismiss arts that combine the two as its not always a straightforward thing to do! If however you want to do pure grappling judo is probably the way to go Take a peek at: http://sfuk.tripod.com/clubs/shootsheffield.html and http://sfuk.tripod.com/clubs/royce_sheffield.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
