Meteora Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 [color=blood red][size=1][i]Does anyone here take Tae Kwon Do? I do and I am testing for my black belt.

Tix Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I'm doing Kung Fu, Shaolin style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 If your gonna learn Judo AND Jujutsu, its kinda useless cuz Judo was created from Jujutsu and all of Judo's throws are in Jujutsu. Thats becasue Judo is a sport and they threw out all the lethal throws and locks of JuJutsu and created the more sporting Judo. So, yeah. I'm learning a form of Jujutsu that has alot of striking rather than grappling, but it still has some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadClown Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I took TKD for four years but stopped a month before my test for black belt. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I took it when I was extremely young. I don't remember any of it anymore. But it'll probably kick in if I ever get into a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sharpie Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I don't need karate as long as I have my M9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 You know what my Jujutsu masters call it when people use guns in fights, Sharpie? He calls them "Chicken S**T Fights". If you can;t defend yourself, then thats your problem. Techinically, Boxing is a martial art. It is the art of fighting with your fists. YOu learn to box, just as you learn to do TKD or Karate or whatever. So don't be so cowardly as to threaten to shoot an unarmed person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiyanPrincessX Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I take Tae Kwon Do also, I'm in the early stages. ;) I have a problem with remembering certain things though. Its really annoying too. I've always had this learning problem too, mainly with school work however. I have to study really hard for tests and such. ¬_¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, in my understanding, the best kind of martial art that has very good defensive moves is Tai Chi Chuan. It's a Chinese martial art and you see old people do it, however, its a very effective martial art. Every form and move is made to deal with any kind of attack, weapons or not, punch or kick, whatever. Plus, its a very strong kind of martial art. If utilized right, it can be very effective offensive as it is defensive. -pV01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteora Posted August 18, 2003 Author Share Posted August 18, 2003 [color=blood red][size=1][i]I'm with you all th way for the gun thing. I think akkido is more of a self defence martial art. Its all about wrist minipulations. I hope that helped.[/color][/size][/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 [COLOR=green]I did Tae Kwon Do when I was little, in first and second grade. I got as far as a Yellow belt with a green tips, before I gave it up. From what I remember it was a lot of fun...[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteora Posted August 18, 2003 Author Share Posted August 18, 2003 [color=blood red][size=1][i]Yeah Tae Kwon Do is a lot of fun. Specially when you get to my level of it. Its so much fun cuz we get to use weapons at my level, and get to choose from what we want.[/color][/size][/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 What form of TKD do you study, Meteroa? I study the kind that has absouletly no weapns but your hands and feet. I do teach myself how to use the Jo Staff and Nunchaku's, although my Dad knows how to use them much more than me, so he teaches me. I'm not a fan of blades.

Tix Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Anyone here learning Kung Fu? A sweet martial arts that combine being in health and know to defend yourself....Simple and good, you don't have belts but you got diffrent styles....I'm into Shaolin, I started with the Wing Chun(basic style) and I'm learning a lil of the tiger style stances...

Zen Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Well, Kung Fu isn't a martial art or the proper word for it. Kung Fu is actually called Wu Shu. And its just a word used to call Chinese Martial Arts. I suggest that you learn Wing Chun and use its punches and low kicks. (thats what its all about actually.) I'm thinking of joining a Wing Chun Wu Shu class to get down the punches and use TKDs Kicks in my own martial art. (TKD is about %90 kicks.)

Like tiger, lion, druken man(it exists), snake, dragon,...etc Bruce Lee invented back then his own style of Kung Fu... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammerBlade Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Uh...I only took tae-kwon-do for a month as a one month...thing. And I learned how to break a board. My friend who took true tae-qwon-do classes tells me that once you break a board, your a yellow belt. So I guess thats me. So there!

lea Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 what kind of martial arts does spike from cowboy beebop do? all i remember is it looked really effortless, and i heard it doesnt matter the weight of the person attacking you, you can move them with ease....

Zen Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 He does Wing CHun. I can tell cuz he uses mostly his hands and a few kicks most of which are low and to the kness of shins. But its possible he does Jeet Kune Do cuz if you have read the Cowboy Bebop Manga, on the back of the first Volume, it has a bio on Spike and one of his likes are Bruce Lee, who invinted Jeet Kune Do.
