what other martial arts do you practice or want to practice?

[michael craig]

jiujitsu is the first thing ive ever taken..id like to take muay thai if i could..maybe broadsword traing.:cool:

[Andrei (KAZE)]

I'd do judo to learn some sick throws but you have to start as a kid. I'm to old for this stuff now. At least that's what the coaches say here.

[Andrei (KAZE)]

Oh and wing chun would be great too....i've always loved those sticky hand moves.

[Dennis Martinez]

i did Karate when i was younger moved on to boxing then alil judo then jiu jitsu and mauy thai ive been into martial arts my whole life and probably will be for a long time

[Donovan]

It's a rare day, if I don't spend part of it thumb wrestling. no joke.

[michael craig]

as poe would say "I LOVE KUNG FU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

[Tim Elliott]

Love Muay Thai.

Really keen to do some Judo. Iv given my Gi to my 13 year old brother as Judo as all thats available in the town he lives in. I thought my Gi days were over!

[Coringao]

I have been a Martial artist my whole life. And in that time, Ive trained in just about every system/style availible, and have gotten Blackbelts, or master of sport, in many of them. The one style that Id like to spend some time playing with again though, would be Kali. I Love the flowing hands of that system, and Ive found that it has helped in my grappling studies more than anything, because of the check flow that it teaches.

[NelsonLucca]

Jeet Kune Do. I do however have a background in wing chun and 5 animal kung fu

[davewillis44]

iv trained thai boxing (muay thai) for quite a while and done alot of training in thailand.
only started jiu jitsu nearly a year ago.. but having almost stopped thai boxing now.

[Chris Herzog]

Like Cornigao I've been traing most of my life with blackbelts in several tradional martial arts. I currently teach and train in (besides 10th Planet) Judo, Sambo, Boxing, Muay Thai and MMA.

[Clayton]

Mainly Muay Thai. But, through the military I have had training in Krav Maga, Judo and knife fighting. I would consider close quarter combat a martial art too.

[Heidi McCreery]

I would love to learn weapons, especially staff, double swords, and sais (sp?). I would also love to learn the forms from different styles.

[hamzatu]

In our gym we study boxing, Muay Thai, Kung Fu, catch wrestling, and Jiu Jitsu. Seems like boxing is the most popular for the students. I keep telling them Jiu Jitsu makes our world go round. Many of them love Jiu Jitsu almost as much a me...

[John Roderick]

First, you're NEVER too old to learn something new :). I train in Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do/Filipino martial arts, Jiu Jitsu. I have a background in Judo and boxing from when I was a kid. If there is something that I think has some merit, or suits me, I check it out. If it doesn't, I leave it be. The mix of Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu/wrestling is DEVASTATING :)

[SevMartinez]

Well from what I've seen through this website I'd definitely be interested in doing some jiu jitsu. I've never been involved with combat sports but always loved watching them. I used to be a big wrestling fan but the soap opera that it is turned me off so quick men don't talk like that to each other. That's why I like mma its pretty much put up or shut up... Lets get down to business.

[Tim Elliott]

Its all martial arts. Iv been lucky enough to have open minded teachers who dont see boundaries in a name. Im getting drawn deeper and deeper into this Jiu Jitsu universe, but I started my martial arts path standing up. My mission is to become sufficiently proficient in both to stitch them seamlessly together.

In essence, I want to learn everything.

[Arnaud Arross]

I started in Tae Kwon Do when I was younger. It was all that was offered in my small town, but I liked it. I have seriously thought of getting back in it to finish the belts. If I was to start a new art however, it would have to be Krav Mcgraw.

[Tim Elliott]

Hamzatu, Burning Sands is one of the best gym names Iv ever heard.

[Kevin Green]

Im an MMA guy...but I started boxing and wrestling when I was 5 - and have been ever since. That spawned into Kick Boxing and MT and of course JJ...but Boxing and wrestling are my first exposure to combat arts.....

[Aab]

I have a brown belt in Taekwondo and a green belt in Shotokan Karate. I took professional boxing lessons for about 7 months and trained under a professional ex Muay Thai Kickboxer for around a year and a half. I've had about maybe 20 Aikido classes and several Jeet Kune Do Classes as well (although I swear it was Wing Chun). I did all this before I found out about Jiu JItsu and gave up all of that for Jiu Jitsu back in February of this year. Focusing on Jiu Jitsu is all that matters now.

Don,
I couldn't help but notice you have a team paragon listing. Who are you training under? I trained at Paragon when I was stationed in Corpus Christi, TX.

[Jameson (Weebo)]

ID tell you, but then Id have to.....

A prof fighter named Perry Williams. Hes about to be a purple belt.

I would like to continue training Aikido, I think it complements Jiu-Jitsu perfectly even though it probably isn't the best in regards to self defense. Roy Dean and Marcio Feitosa have DVDs combining the 2 I believe.

I have trained Aikido quite a bit. I think the meaning is good. But man the techniques are SO unrealistic. I admit you can wrist throw me across the room if I let you. You also can trap my punch and sling me to the moon if I punch slow. However If I really bring it to you none of that stuff is gonna work.

[Enzo]

Not technically a martial art (?), but I do some boxing pad work

[Aikijiujitsu]

My father and grandfather were boxers and my father also practiced gojo ryu karate he was my first sensei i got into wing chun for about 3 years. Been training in Shizen ryu aiki jiujitsu the last 7 years which was great my sensei is russian and would bring in all these wrestlers, sambo, judo, and kick boxing dudes to work with lately i been trying to learn bjj to make my jiujitsu more complete.

[Rene "Zendokan" Gysenbergs]

I used to train in Taekwondo, Hapkido, Kyuk Too Ki (Korean Sanda) and Hoshinsul (Korean Goshin Jutsu).

Two years ago I stopped completely with KMAs and made the swith to:

- Mondays: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo
- Tuesdays: 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu*
- Wednesdays: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
- Thursdays: 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu* + Judo
- Fridays: Muay Thai
- Saturdays: La Boxe Française-Savate

*Until last week it was still English Boxing or Shoot Boxing or Shoot Wrestling depending what you arranged with your trainingpartners.

Dude, have you been going through all threads on this forum as far back as two months? :/

I was bored and didn't want to start any new threads in fear of Eddie's finger.

Aikido comes from Daito ryu aiki jiujitsu o sensei Morei Yoshiba was trained by Sukoku Takada he thought it was too brutal and as he going into spirituality he made a style that more fit his feelings at the time. I see alot of this combat aikido adding breaks i think its bull shit its just aiki jiujitsu.

[Josh Passini]

Stick fighting looks fun

[lost]

I wonder when the first Aikido/Bjj non-competitive school is going to open up.

[Tyler Timmermans]

I started my martial arts journey with San Soo Kung Fu and did that for about 6 months until Wing Chun Kung Fu caught my eye being taught at the same academy. Did that for about 3 years until I found jiu jitsu. That was 5 years ago and I'm just now starting to get back into Wing Chun. I know its not completely practical but a lot of the theory does work. Plus its actually pretty fun.

I feel wing chun is really practical ive used it sparring and it works great for me its up to the practitioner to make it work alot of forms and katas are blueprints they arent to be taking literal as fighting techniques but they are supposed to put you on the path to figure out how can i make this really work for me.

[Mike Noronowicz]

i tried boxing & kung fu when i was younger i quit both as one wasnt going anywhere , semi-pro wrestling as that WAS my dream ,tried a mma course that fell thru the classes closed and then nothing til i found triple threat combat sports /10th planet bear De.last year .i practice some muay thai stuff on my heavy bags ,i am interested also in sambo ,catch as catch can wrestling ,shuai chiao & mma .
but no gi jiujitsu is my favorite .

I guess saying some of it wasn't practical wasn't quite fair. I think some of the training isn't quite practical. I didn't feel like I was ready to use it in a real life situation. Maybe it was just my practice partners fault because without realizing it they would pull their punches because of fear of hitting me. Or a good possibility is I didn't put enough time into the art to fully learn what I needed to learn.
Eventhough its been 5 years I've really retained a lot of the movements and terminology which I think is awesome. I'm actually really excited to get back into it because I loved it when I was going through it.

[frank-theman-james]

I started tracey system kenpo with 6th dan george sewell when I was 18, I was with him for almost five years and reached 3rd brown under him. he got ill and could no longer teach, I then tried driving an hour one way every night to train with one of his balckbelts, shihan Terry Rich, who had converted to the original Ed Parker system kenpo, driving got old so then I started kickboxing with johnny holbrook and sport point fighting for him also which I did for a couple of years until I blew out my knee racing dirt bikes. the knee injury ended my standup fighting career, so I started training traditional japanese jj with 7th degree "doc" leamon stroud where I recieved my purple belt under him. life took over for a few years, married had a kid got a divorce, life. Then i helped open ABI's mma where I instructed primarily standup and some ground. I left after a falling out with the money man, and went back to Johnny Holbrooks karate where I started a mma program in his school, using the 10th planet techniques as the basis for my jiujitsu. after two years with him, he awarded me my blackbelt in gojushorin karate under the Carolina karate systems banner. he died unexpectantly in feb of this year, and after his death, I almost gave up instructing, but in April after mopeing around the house for to months, my girl gave me the greatest birthday gift and paid for me to go to Eddie's seminar in Delaware at Kevin greens. I was instantly back in love with martial arts and have started back teaching again. I opened ninth level mma working out of a sub rented space at a fitness gym in Clayton NC. I train under Neale hoerle from lynchburg now and hope to one day fly the 10th planet banner as an affiliate. My story the end.

Thats great man i hope it works out for you these are some of the techniques i love from wing chun stepping in jamming an engaging opponent trapping utilizing short strikes and chi sao is great to set up throws.
