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.
I would love to learn weapons, especially staff, double swords, and sais (sp?). I would also love to learn the forms from different styles.
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...
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
Hamzatu, Burning Sands is one of the best gym names Iv ever heard.
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.....
