I knew from seeing the title of this thread it was going to south, I'm amazed it stayed light hearted for more than 2 pages.

Bored at work so trawling through old threads.
I've practiced various martial arts since teens. For me its a great way to stay fit without the boredom of going to the gym. It also keeps me (relatively) sane.
I used to compete in karate (shotokan) in my twenties but was never anything more than an average to good club level player. I currently practice Wing Chun and Brazillian Jujitsu and love both arts.Comment

Boll**s, it was the thought of Caillin Maith getting her legs up above her ears with a bit of kicking. Mind you to connect with Churchills knackers she would need to kick high and with great accuracyOriginally posted by lightng View PostBored at work so trawling through old threads.

the junior PM with me (contractor too) is a 6th Dan black belt in ninjitsu and blackbelt in some otehr stuff. needless to say, he is one hard mo fo! I still make him do the tulip work tho! that what juniors are for!Originally posted by Charles Foster Kane View PostSo who on here finds the time to do Martial Arts? I used to do Aiki-Jitsu when I was younger for like a decade-and-a-half and stopped one away from black belt (brown belt).
I was thinking about starting martial arts training again for fitness and the other benefits (more fun than running on a treadmill), so does anyone do a particular form which they prefer? I was looking at Kung Fu or maybe Aikido or Judo.
I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!Comment

I guy I train with does BJJ at a Gracie club 3 times a week, kick boxing 2/3 times a week.Originally posted by Bwana View PostI'm interested in Martial Arts (MA) for self defence. I researched it on the web, and found that a lot of people were suggesting Muay Thai or Kickboxing for stand-up fighting and BJJ for ground fighting. Apparently that's what a lot of the MMA/UFC/cage fighter types train in.
.
He is scaling back the BJJ as he hasn't got the time or energy anymore and enjoyed kickboxing more.Comment
