anyone here trained in any martial arts?

[Turbone]

I'm old school.
I use whatever is at hand to eliminate the threat, as quickly as possible.
In other words, I fight dirty
My 17yr old son is a 3rd Dan Blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do.
He's still afraid of me

I used to do ju-jutsu. Very old style japanese battlefield type, not the modern Brazilian. I know it works well because I had a job where I arrested lots of people. The effectiveness of the joint locks never ceased to surprise me.

The real mark of the success of those techniques is that in nearly 25 years, I was never seriously injured, and was never even accused of using excessive force. Lots of people can beat excessive force accusations, but I was never even accused of using excessive force. I'm actually more proud of that than of never loosing on an arrest.

I'm proficient in Ching-Ching-BANG!!

Actually I did Ascrema for a bit... used to whack the snot out of stuff, and occasionally myself in the process!

I take Muay Thai, boxing and MMA from Art of War in Eugene... Pretty fun stuff, and keeps me in crazy shape for basic training!

[JUSTIficatioN]

Took 6 years of Tae Kwon Do from age 8 to 14, but the only thing I remember is how to count to ten in Korean.

Took it from 8 to 13 and thats all I got left too

Major plus for BJJ (Brazilian Jui-Jitsu) Incorporate that with a little Judo and some Muay Thai and wah la! Try the gym out in West Linn for BJJ and Team Quest in Gresham for a mixture of other things. I personally do those three I first listed. +1

 

[tkdguy]

Third dan in tae kwon do and teach martial arts. Cross trained in aikido, hapkido, and karate.

 

[sandman1212]

I eat Chinese take out...does that count for anything???LOL, really, I studied Karate, Kung Fu and Tae Kwon Do when I was young. since I have gotten older its been the ASDS and Military H2H. I am thinking about Krav Maga next. I only heard about it a couple of months ago, but it sounds brutal...

 

[lfromsalem]

Aikido, 6 years and Boxing, 2 years. Still going strong.

 

[deadeye]

I know karate and seven other chinese words....specialize in Gunfu though.

Just alot of hand to hand for me.

 

[sandman1212]

specialize in Gunfu though.

I also have trained in the off shoot system of Klik Pao...A system of 7 deadly .45MM moves

 

[R-Rizzo]

Yup... I'm a Ninja. I have my official membership card around here somewhere.

 

[waltermitty]

born and raised in Seattle, the martial arts opportunities were plentiful. natch,
Jeet Kune Do was my selection. in my younger life, I immersed myself in this
endlessly.

 

[lowly monk]

After 30 years of training, I still practise every day. The young buck I train with is way faster and doesnt hurt easy. In 1984 my instructor knocked me to the floor barely touching me (Qi gong). I asked if this chi stuf worked on untrained people? He said the basic moves do, Punch,Kick,Blocks etc. But not the energy. I asked him about BFD'S (Big feroucious dudes) He lifted his shirt and had a browning high power. So I train to help me stay in shape/sharp.
That way I can drink more beer!
Be well.
Shawnzai!

 

[glockguy]

BABE TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF AND RUN THAT WAY!
