Anyone in Martial Arts??? If you're not, you should be.

[pcosmar]

I'm taking bellydancing classes. Soon my hips will be lethal weapons.

In all seriousness, I would like to take me some Krav Maga classes. That stuff is intense.

Nothing else. Just,

 

[ClayTrainor]

I wouldn't mind turning myself into a deadly weapon....


Too lazy to get started though.

Blue belt in BJJ

Haven't done it in about two years though.

 

[Semper Vigilans]

As stated last night in chat, I hold:

1st degree black in Judo
2nd degree blue in "Americanized" TaeKwonDo

I haven't been active in organized martial arts since I was about 19 though. I'm 26 now, but I still brush up on the 'ol skills with friends every now and again.

I'm currently looking for a BJJ class, but having no luck finding one locally.

I used to be very active in martial arts as a kid. I used to spar with friends who also took various disciplines of martial arts. It helped us all find our discipline's shortcomings. My fighting style is... interesting... to say the least.

I figure if they can get past the rifles and shotgun, then the .45, then the sharp, pointed objects, I might as well give them a good fight.

Well, not only that... but it is also fun! However I think you will like BJJ better than the previous arts you were in. I did.

I think so too, but I just can't find anyone in my po-dunk town that teaches it.

I find that in alot of places, hopefully me and my friend's business will be able to solve that problem for people in small towns. Im from one, I understand.

How many people here who believe in liberty also know how to defend themselves from a physical attack?

I fight MMA in Harrison Arkansas, and study Karate Kempo, Shotokan, and Jiu-jitsu. Stay it tip top shape. Are there any more libertarians out there like me?

All I know is the Kimbo Slice would kick the living snot out of Fedor Emelianenko.

That's like saying John McCain is a peace loving candidate.

 

[Eric21ND]

I've been a UFC fan since 1993

Yeah it was a joke.

Kimbo got dropped by a guy who got cut from the UFC. Fedor would send Kimbo back to the boat yard.

LOL, not so much. Kimbo's a street thug, he's a very good street thug but he wouldn't last long against a real pro figher opponent. Fedor of all people would destroy him in seconds.

 

[Freedom 4 all]

Yeah it was a joke.

Oh, that makes more sense then.

I was a brown belt before my mother got sick and my parents could not pay for me to go to lessons anymore.

 

[Todd]

I used to study the sweet science..

not so much anymore, which is something that needs to change.

Same here.

I took some Okinawan Karate (Shorin Ryu) for a time. I was in great shape....but time is in short supply these days.

UFC is a joke! So is most MMA. BJJ is trendy and a lot of it is all hype or meant to be effective in a competition with rules and soft mats. Martial arts is an entirely different thing than self defense. I've trained in martial arts and I've since trained in self defense. I'd suggest everyone interested in self defense to look into www.veearnisjitsu.com and www.defenseinstitute.com Professor David James shit is real life saving "martial arts". It will teach you knife defense as well as gun defense. MMA doesn't even touch on weapons defense. Here's an example of Professor David Jame's concepts:

[krazy kaju]

People need to abandon the martial arts that do not spar and instead focus on the ones that do. Nothing will give you real life experience than actual fighting. That's why I propose that everyone either take judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing (not cardio kickboxing), muay Thai, MMA, or some combination of these.
