tai chi - 3 years - unsure of style
ground fighting / some type of jitsu - 4 years
Ki - a mix of japanese and chinese instruction
modern arnis - 4 years

The school I was in had a few specializations which allowed us to learn multiple styles at the same time, and had a lot of special events with instructors coming in. I also traveled a bit and trained under various schools with a few other people from my school.

So basically dont F U K with Dan!!!

Studied karate when I was young, never got past green belt. I have considered taking it up again.

Yeah, I didn't know Dan was such a lethal weapon.

I went to a Ju Jitsu class last night and will keep going once a week until I go home.

Back home I took Muay Thai for 4 months and then injured my foot. I plan on getting back into it this summer.

I studied a mixed style of TKD, Kenpo and Tai Boxing with a little Jiu Jitsu thrown in for almost 5 years. The I moved and wanted to do something a little different so I've been studying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for about 7 months now.

If anyone is interested, I'm a mod at Martial Talk. It has a nice, community feel (much like here). Once in a while we get one of the "my style is the best and everything else sucks" or "Who would win a fight, Bruce Lee or Steven Segal" morons, but they generally get shut down pretty quick.

I have an Apprentice Black Belt (3rd Kyu) in Koden Kan Karate. I stopped training when I was about 17. I'd like to get back into it and get my 1st Dan, when the knee gets fixed.

TKD is a joke. Seriously. I used to love sparring TKD guys in tournaments. Easy wins every time.

Judo on and off for about 8 years.
Capoeira for about six months.

Us skinny guys tend to move faster, but have a hell of a time hurting you big guys. I did a scissor takedown on a guy pushing 300# once and I swear the ground shook. The bad part was I couldn't get the bottom leg out from under his giant legs and he rolled onto me. That's some scary shiat right there, I tell you what!

lol, dude i was sparring this one guy, lean, maybe 6'3 he did that to me, I was probably 215 at the time, I caught the ****er, took him down with an elbow to the chest... luckily we were on a mat.... like that helped any

Only reason I did that was because this is the bastage who was showing off his "jumping skillz" with a flying side kick while I was holding the bag....he missed and kicked my head instead....

don't hate the person... get even lol
