    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.

          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 accuracy

                  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.
                  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!
                  I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

                    the lad with me says you spelt it wrong! He runs a dojo in the Crewe area i think... any issues, take it up with him!

                      .
                      I guy I train with does BJJ at a Gracie club 3 times a week, kick boxing 2/3 times a week.

                      He is scaling back the BJJ as he hasn't got the time or energy anymore and enjoyed kickboxing more.
