So, is there any fighters or wanabee fighters amoung us?
Just curious. What kind of self-defense arts do you do, or liked to do?
I used to do judo, until a fatefull day, that I bit more that i could chew and fought a randori with a blue belt. Got my ass kicked six ways to sunday and an injury as result. Right now Iīm only doing Body Combat, but I would like to try out Krav Maga or Muai Thai in the future.
The moral of this story kiddies? Donīt try to play the hero against someone whoīs two belts above you.   |

My current school is the latter, but they throw in a lot of Judo and Hapkido for self defense. I've also dabbled in weapons. Use to know how to fight with a staff and tonfas. Currently training to hopefully become a mixed fighter, but that goal seems to be just a pipe dream.  | |

There's a lot of people that claim they know it but can't really demonstrate the key principals of the systems. After that, it's all sweat from there. Lots of stances training. The classic saying in our system is: If you can stand, how can you fight. | |

Thereīs alot of people who claim to know that, but in reality they know jack and shit. Itīs one of those things one has to be carefull when searching for a martial art.
At least my sensei was a credible dude. Very good teacher, and such. He was part of the referees in the Sydney Olypimcs. Class A teacher. No complains there. | |

I did learn karate, brown 4. However I usually went up through exam on stances, only participated in spa-ring 2 times, not much of a fighter unless provoked.  | |
