Martial Arts

He's taking about streetfighter the game lol

I did Shotokan for a while, didn't like it, all traditional Karate seems to be too stiff and rigid.

Not saying quit, but if you want to learn to fight properly, take up Muay Thai!

No idea what you're talking about!

You do shotokan karate and are not aware that it is the same form as practiced by Ken and Ryu in Street Fighter 2, outrageous I tells ya!

Up until about 2 years ago, incidently when I bought my first house and started contracting, martial arts was my life.

I'd been doing various martial arts for 7 years, I got to 1st Dan in Taekwondo, won two major national tournaments regulary competed in Taekwondo and Muay Thai Boxing and trained 4-5 times a week.

Last couple of years work and life has taken over, plus I go out drinking too often now

Dam I miss it!

That's a real shame, you should pull a comeback of Balboa like proportions and get back to the martial arts.

I should do, there's no better feeling than kicking someones arse (no dirty jokes please) round the ring.




Seriously I loved it, problem is finding the time and dedication to get into it again, I don't like doing things half harted if you know what I mean.
