Martial Arts

Strip3d · April 2012

Hey just wondering if theres anybody else out there who does the martial arts?

I personally do
- Judo
- Karate

I have been doing em all my life and just wanted to know who else does too.

PS: I put my fighting skills to the test in Crossfire.

I've been doing Judo for the last 5-6 years, and i started Jujitsu earlier this year but i don't know if i will continue because its $45 a month and I can go 3-4 times every month because I tend to get work shifts when Jujitsu is going on.

My main thing is judo which I have been doing probably 10 years now.
Karate has been on and off for me so probably only 5 years or so.

But I go every week cause well I grew up in a judo family(My dad being the instructor).

I just recently entered a competition. Got 2nd and 3rd sadly. It had points for the Olympics so some amazing people were there.

My main opponent looked like he came from Germany I would guess.

Where do you do judo?

aExtinction · April 2012

I do Judo at the local club and at school, Believe it or not it's a gym credit(You need a gym credit to graduate from my school), and the teacher runs it after school 2 days a week and sometimes during lunch

NC. I just do it every Saturday.
Sometimes thursday and tuesday too.

What skill level do you think your at. (estimate)

MiniWrecka · April 2012

Been doing martial arts for 8-9 years, it has judo, karate, taekwondo, and all that other crap in it. I do it 4 times a week.

The one arm shoulder throw.

And as for skill level i use to do tournaments but i work too much to go to a tournament which lasts 6-7 hours, right now i just teach the little kid classes and help out during the adult ones.

Strip3d · April 2012

GJ

I work out with the adults since the kids are too small for me.

Sometimes I teach the little ones.

XtremeeeZ · April 2012

Does this count?

I watched karate kid hope this count.

Strip3d · April 2012

Yea.
Awesome movie right there.

Ill make it count.

Naw, I was a fat kid and now it feels sort of too late since I won't be near the level of people my age.

Very interested though.

Strip3d · April 2012

If your not to old already Itll get you in shape fast.
If you practice alot you can get to a decent level pretty fast.

The advanced techniques you have to be doing it for a few years to get most of that down.

Worthy signature material.

I used to do martial arts when I was about 7 years old up until I was about 12.

GoPancakes · April 2012

I used to do martial arts for a few months.

I have now realized that a gun usually works better though, or better yet, words.

I'm in fine shape, I thought my post was kind of clear..
When I was younger, my appearance held me back.
Now, my age (22) is holding me back, since I feel that I'll be too far behind the others.

Also I wouldn't know which to start which.
Wouldn't want to do karate or the other standard self-defense stuff though.

If you were to start now Id suggest Judo and planty of people in my class start out older than you and are pretty good in a year or two.

Id tell you to go ahead and try it.

And you say you live in Florida? Miami or Dade or Miramar by any chance?

If you're talking to me then no, I don't live near Miami, Florida, or USA, or North America.

Strip3d · April 2012

Its like I just read that someone lives in Florida then forgot who said it.
Then I said mabye it was Dot.

Guess It was just my imagination.

Judo looks like a lot of grappling and tossing, not something I'd be in to.

Strip3d · April 2012

Oh.
Take my word for it. Judo has a TON of grappling and tossing around.
But you get used to it when youve done it as long as I have.

Mabye theres some other types of martial arts you can try though.

forthecity1 · April 2012

these aren't martial arts but i use to wrestle in hs and i started boxing now. i know they're more of a sport than a martial art. tried my hand at bjj but no one really goes to my gym for bjj since its mainly a boxing gym. sometimes i would show up and it would be me so i stopped going.

I was in Tae Kwon Do for a couple years. Good stuff. I quit on my Red/Black belt. I didn't want to responsibility of being a black belt.

Weekly meetings, Constant apparel changes, occasionally teaching the "Tiny Tigers", memorizing all the belts forms (For monthly testing), You have to go to every local tournament. Its very expensive.

Can't you just.. not do that?
Not like you have to sign a contract or anything?
