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.

Yea.... you'll never suspect a fat guy could move so fast

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.

Smart people realize they all compliment each other... save for TKD... that style just sucks

Hahaha, I've got a great TKD story.

I was a bluebelt and we got in a 4th degree who had a falling out with his TKD "master"* He was unsure about starting another style since he's spent 5 years in TKD (yes, that's right, 5 years to a 4th degree!). The weekend sparring class came around and my instructor didn't know who to pair him up against for his first time fighting (it was point-sparring that day). I got picked and wasn't sure was going to happen, the guy was a 4th degree TKD balckbelt afterall! The guy had some of the most beautiful flying, spinning kicks I'd ever seen. I stepped to the side as he was doing them at me and punched him in the head. he looked at me with the most confused look ever, sort of like a "where the hell did you go?" looks. This happened 2 more times and I was declared the victor. I have to give the guy credit though, he didn't give up. He lasted about 6 months before he decided he wanted to go back to TKD. He just couldn't figure out how to not fight in a straight line...

*we had a joke about TKD instructors back in the day: The day the get their 1st degree, they get a plane ticket to america. The get on the plane and they are a 2nd degree. The plane reaches altitude and the are a 3rd degree. Touchdown in America = 4th degree, and when they get off the plane, they are 5th degree masters...

What if Segal uses his deadly "sped-up fight scene" skill?

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.

I used to love the point sparring guys when I was bouncing. They'd get a few drinks in them and think they were bad enough to take on the doorman when I told them to leave. I'd get hit with a bunch of that tappy-tap ****, then I'd bounce them off a few tables on the way out of the bar.

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

You jest but I loved Kung fu panda. Go Panda Style

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
