Are you a martial artist?

I was just wondering here if there any fellow Martial Artists in OT :P

I've practiced a lot of martial arts..

Namely.. Shaolin Kung Fu, Krav Maga, Aikido, Kendo, Budo Taijutsu (Part of Ninjutsu), Karate, Judo and Kickboxing.

And right now I'm a Muay Thai fighter :P That's Thai Kickboxing :3

So, do you?

I guess I should mention mine..

I'm 2nd Dan on Muay Thai..

Shaolin Kung Fu - 3rd Kyu

Krav Maga - 1st Dan

Aikido - 3rd Kyu

Kendo - 6th Kyu (didn't really like it :P)

Budo Taijutsu (Part of Ninjutsu) - Orange Belt

Karate - Brown Belt

Judo - Green Belt

Kickboxing - We didn't use much grading, but "beltwise" I was around 2nd Kyu

I've got a bluebelt in Hapkido.

I'd like to practice Krav Maga, which is probably the coolest form of CQC.

I watched enough Walker Texas Ranger growing up to be a martial artist.:P

...My parents watched it so I'd watch it with them occasionally.

HAd to learn Tae-Kwon-Do as part of my Military trade's Critical incident Management.

Currently training in Ninjitsu with a mate as we work as bouncers together.

I've practised some WuShu and Tai Chi on my own at home. Nothing too serious.eloyc

Isn't Wushu just a general term for all martial arts in China? Tai Chi is specific, but wushu...what do you mean?

You're right. More specifically, the style I practised was Chang Chuan, also known as Northern Style.

I've praticed Muay Thai, and Shaolin Kung-Fu for most of my preteen-teenage years.

Great Times, the ability to just pound on somebody and not get in trouble :P

Huh. That's pretty neat, I think. Admittedly, I've only learned some basic Goju Ryu as a means of self-defense, but I'm really interested in learning some form of Chinese martial arts more in depth.

Well yeah, It's pretty much my life. I have a 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo, so now I'm coaching it. I've been doing Judo for 10 years, Jeet Kun do for 9 years and Capoeira for a year.

Now every couple months I fight in womens MMA tournaments across Canada and at the end of the year I'm gone to Asia, usually China.
