I'm a black belt in a style called kajukenbo. I was wondering if any one else does karate or something.

I studied Chyroku Rikije (shu-RO-koo RIK-ee-jay) Karate up to a brown belt; it's an American blend of Kempo and traditional Okinawan forms.

Did grappling (unofficially Jiu Jitsu) for almost 1 year; no belts, but probably the most practical style there is. I recommend it for anyone who wants to end a fight quickly while avoiding permenant damage to your opponent. Or...fold the guy into a pretzel and break him in half. Whatever floats your boat.

Shorin Ryu (Okinawan karate) for 2 months and hated it. Way too much kata to be interesting. For those who don't know what Kata is, it's basically performing a series of moves and techniques in a set pattern, kind of like a dance, used for repitition and practice. If you lack discipline (and I often do) steer clear of this one.

@fauzman: Maybe add other choices to the poll like "I used to but quit" or "I'd like to start."

 

i use guns and human shields to protect myself from u.s. troops.

 

Hmm, never did karate, but I've been doing judo and some good 'ol fashioned boxing for a few years.

 

My unarmed combat training lets me whale on any iraq fool while he whimpers and begs for mercy.

Probably the only useful thing I learnt in the army.

 

I have some experience in both Judo and Karate. But I still best remember the latest self-defense / combat sports, being Thai-Boxing and Krav-Maga. All in all I've been training different martial and combat arts for around 8-9 years, but only a couple of years each. Right now I'm just going to the gym and jogging, thinking about starting some Ju-Jutsu / Aikido-Jutsu training in the next year or so.

 

My brother taught me the Marine Corps eye gouge . That's about as much as I know about martial arts, hehe.

I'm much too much of a clumsy flake to ever get into that kind of thing.

 

I did Shokokai Karate for a few year, about 3 years ago. For the past 3 years i've been wanting to get back into it, but lack motivation. Plus, at the moment, i'm more interested in doing more in the way of body building/toning. Once i've got the required build/tone that i want, i'll get back into karate. Rekon if my summer goes to plan, i can get back into it in september. Sweet.

 

I took one lesson of Ju-Jitsu once...

 

I use my bigger friends in fightning, or use my mind and do not involve anything at all.

 

No but I will take Judo lesson

 

I used to do Tae-Kwon-Do a few years ago. Haven't done anything is recent years, though I might start Tae-Kwon-Do again soon.

 

I've beendoing Taekwando since I was twelve, and recently started learning some Kung Fu. I also know some Karate, Akido, and very, very little Thai kickboxing.

 

Not karate, but kick-boxing. Balances well against my otherwise computerized and schoolzerized day.

 

Studied a little bit of karate. (But I've spent years of my life playing Ken in Street Fighter 2, so that's gotta put me at least at, oh, say a brown belt, right? )

I've boxed a fair amount. Oh, and I got to do some work in the ring with a local independent wrestling organization. Fun stuff!

 

I'm up for my blackbelt in Judo, have several years of experience in JiuJitsu, as well as a couple of years of training in DocePares Escrima and HybridArnis. (The latter consists of several martial arts, of which KungFu is one.)

 

I don't know Karate, but I do know Crazy!

(If you didn't see Shanghi Noon, this won't be funny)

 

My sister has taught me a few tips and tricks, such as how to fall or how to punch someone properly seeing as she is the martial arts whiz of the family (Ju-jutsu, Tae Kwon Do and Aikido...) and I am planning on starting Aikido lessons at some point soon...
I was supoposed to get an Aikido class from her as a Chistmas prezzie but that sort of fizzled down and died...
I would most like practising Yoahinkan Aikido... After reading Angry White Pyjamas by.... *searches for the name in vain* I got impressed. REALLY impressed

(*Looks at a snickering Smith... * Got something to say?)

 

I studied some karate from a few different places when I was a kid. I sort of liked it, but never had the discipline to stick with it and practice every day -- there were too many books to read. I'd like to take the Tae Kwon Do lessons here in my town offered by a friend of mine, but I have a trick knee and don't want to aggravate it. My friend taught me a few Jeet Kun Do moves as well. Luckily, I've never had to fight.

 

Which is the one all about pressure points and locks? Is that Aikido?
