Martial Arts You've Been a Part Of
Since MMA is getting real popular recently, and because I'm just curious. Who here has been in martial arts, how long, and what martial arts have any of you been a part of. I'd imagine we're going to get a lot of Karate answers. I'd also want to know if your still doing it now and what rank you achieved.

No Skip, I'm not really a ninja because out of all of those, I focus mainly on the jujitsu(which is mainly ground techniques, throws, locks, etc) instead of the flashy yet less practical taekwondo.

What would be a good thing to get into? I'd like to learn more self defence than fighting techniques. For instance, if a guy threw a punch at me I'd rather have him on the ground in 0.01 seconds rather than punch him back.

O I thoght you wanted to beat him up while he was on the ground.

Not to sure then, but I would say Judo would be good for that.

I'd go with ju jitsu.

I did Judo for about 3 years, and after each class I asked if I could have a go at the advanced techniches for disabling, it really was just throwing in various ways. With ju jitsu they'll teach you defensive techniches against guns, knives and bare hands. I kind of want to do that. But I can handle myself pretty good anyway.

Kung Fu and Karate (And probably most others) are a killer on the body for 'warming up' I was completley obliterated when I did my first kung fu warmup.

As far as getting hurt goes, as a begginer the only times that will happen will be if you pull a muscle or have an accident which probably wont happen. They aren't completley crazy with new members, you'll get it easy to start off with.

The warm ups probably wont be as hard in Ju Jitsu or Judo (I'm not certain though) but even so, within 4 weeks or so of doing them, (if you go weekly) you'll get used to it and it will just seem like limbering up.

Oh and be patient with learning, its obvious to say this, but you wont learn the really good/useful stuff until about a month into it.

Aikido.

There are many people who believe that any offense in Aikido is not true Aikido. That'll give you an idea of the philosophy of the art.

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. If you're looking for the peaceful martial art, then Akido is the one for you.

Well then don't go to my dojo for Jujistu because he have a hardcore workout for like an hour and then we learn technique for about an hour, the last half hour or wich is only for orange belts and above.

You'd especially hate the days we do 1000 strikes and 100 pushups in 15 minutes. The first dozen times I did that, I could barley breath or hold my hands up afterwards.

But Martial Arts is all about the transformation of your whole identity. When I started back when I was 17 I was a skinny, meek, nervous, easily agitated kid. 7 years later I'm physically strong, outgoing, confidente and calm.

When I got my black belt about a month ago I broke down in tears, because it was more then just the belt. It made me realize how far I've come.

If you ever want to go into a martial art give yourself to it 100% and it'll give back to you in spades. There will be times when you feel like you can't go any further, but when you do, it's like no other feeling in the world.

That and I can basically kick anyones ass, which is nice. Heh.

Pretty much BJJ focuses more on groundwork and positioning to obtain a submission. Traditional Jujitsu incorporates more standing techniques into it. There are other differences, this is the most basic and obvious.

Tonight I'm going to my first Martial Arts class ever. I'm taking Traditional Jujitsu. Talking to the guy it doesn't sound like a heavy workout. He said to me if you want to get strong, go to a gym. I dont' really know what to expect, I'm nervous and excited in the same breath. I don't want it to suck and I'm afriad of getting my hopes up. So we shall see in T minus 3.5 hours.

Traditional Jujitsu: Achieved the rank of Green Belt until I switch to Taekwondo
About a year ago I switched to Taekwondo, and achieved the rank of 1st Dan.

I quit martial arts about a year ago because I had too much stuff going on in my life. Some rough stuff and I needed to drop something. Sadly, it was martial arts.

If I had the time, I would like to learn kickboxing.

I dabbeld in boxing and freestyle wrestling for a little while as well.

So I had my class last night. I was pretty nervous walking in. Everyone had a gi (spl?) and I'm the only guy in sweats and a tshirt. I was surprised how small the room was. There was two instructors, 11 adults, and 3 or 4 young kids. So it was pretty cramped. I jumped right in did everything except rolls. One instructor took me aside to help me with a few things with rolls and falls. It was actually a different thing than normal, we spent the day doing kicks. The instructor said he just felt like doing that. I did get a lot out of the class, it was really interesting. I actually walked to my car smiling which was a nice change for me as I'm usually grumpy. I did feel really out of place at first but by the end I realized that nobody in that room judges you, looks at you funny or anything, they're very supportive. The instructor was actually impressed with how well some of my kicks were. So I go back on wednesday and we'll be doing more locks and throws and shit. I think I'm going to like this.

I was really interested in the other room as it was women's yoga. I coulda sat in that class and blow my wad, holy shit.

Yeah, Ju Jitsu is more about defence as opposed to attack, so the warm ups wont be as bad because alot of the offence based martial arts require conditioning your arms and legs through various methods of torture.

After having to punch a bag of big fucking rocks (100 on each hand) when the bruises stop, you can punch a wall and feel nothing, great feeling.

Nice going on the Ju-Jitsu, I did Judo for about 3 years, and I had the same thing as you, no Gi, just sweats and a Tee, and I missed out the rolls too.

I would reccomend Ju Jitsu way above Judo, you have to be like a black belt at it before you can really take out anyone.

Oh, and for anyone who has done karate: Do they do separate weapons classes for Karate weapons?

Last night was my second day at class and again I walked out of there with a smile. We did escapes from somebody grabbing your wrists. I'm finding that I am kind of lost doing the moves because it's really quick. My partner was a little lost too so that didn't help, but we did try and did come up with a few things. It seems like a lot of this stuff is based on what comes naturally. For the last half hour we learned a bit about ground fighting. I know what it means to be in somebody's gaurd and what to do in there and what to do when you have somebody in your gaurd. Basically how to get out of it. They also taught us one submission from the bottom which is pretty simple. I also did kind of roll around with the sensei for a bit from the gaurd position. I survived longer than expected and he made me tap. Speaking of tapping, the feeling of having to tap is very interesting. The move doesn't hurt initially but you know if you don't tap somethign will break. If somebody bends your finger there's a sharp pain and you react by pulling away. Well from what I've felt when somebody has you in a submission there's not that sharp pain, you're locked in and realize there's nothing you can do until it breaks.

Sun Do Sul (a specialised variation Kuk Sool Won)
Wing Chun
Wushu
Judo

I focused mainly on Sun Do Sul, the rest I only did for a few months or off and on. I quit because I got bitter when it was too painful after a snow boarding accident. Regret that choice every day.

I want to point out that I'm thouroughly enjoying doing Jiu Jitsu (how the fuck do you spell it). I should've been doing this for years and I stronly recommend it to anybody.
