looking for a new one now...mai thai maybe

KAPOW :)

[Trems]

I used to kickbox but then i snapped my anterior cruciate ligament :confused: so now its paintball and only with a knee support!

Kickboxing is mint tho....if it wasnt for playing so much paintball, and my dodgy knee id do it again for sure.

[paintordie]

been doing muay thai little over a year now :)

kick boxing is a mickey mouse sport :p

[coombz]

did judo for about 8 years....stopped when i was 17

[robtattoo]

Got my 3rd Dan in Shoto-Kan Karate & did a little Tai Chi Chuan for a couple of years. Trained in Kendo for 2 years, but never took any of the UK exams :(

[rentonc]

Did a bit of the old freestyle kickboxing/karate when I was a bout 16, got to purple. Then me and a friend tried to look into doing Krav Maga (Israeli defence forces art), some kewl shit in there :D

[dustynutz]

been to a few Chum Sut kung fu classes. basically its ultimate/no holds barred fighting. seriously rough stuff.

the list is endless,

tai-jitsu
ninjitsu
taekwondo
hapkido
aikido
bits and pieces of kung fu (various styles)

along with a few random freestyle arts thrown in.

i specialise in the tkd full contact stuff, and teach it twice a week.
do you think some of the mindsets of the martial arts help to develop paintball skills?

[rentonc]

the old dodging bullets trick never fails me :p

[Robboards]

Had a go at jujitsu for a while.



Sorry to thread jack

Rob did you get my pm?

[Parksy]

Did muay thai for 9 years, until I broke my knee in three places in a car crash.

Other half does Karate (dunno the style, so many!!), currently a black with white tab belt :)

[jokersmoker]

is boxing a martial art?:p i know its not eastern, but you do get to go in a ring and try to knock someones arse out!:D

[Robboards]

Knocking someones arse out.

Are you sure you phrased that correctly?

[.:afro:.:dan:.]

[jokersmoker]

absolutley. but not in the sense i think you're refering to sir!;) :D

[.:afro:.:dan:.]

dusty- ninjitsu....your an official ninja :p

[jokersmoker]

tips, yeah. keep your guard up!!

get the first st rike in and follow up rapidly with a combo/flurry of high and low kicks and puches - confuses your opponent.

and yeah i suppose i am!!! never really thought about it that way, my sig is just the nickname the boys on the team gave me!!

[papalongchops]

I love it, fought for Great Britain twice. Won a number of British titles as well. Gasman came along 2 watch me fight not so long back. Last fight I had I got my ass kicked but the less said about that the better:mad:

[GingerNinja]

I've done judo when I was younger, tai kwon do later on and muay thai - where i was trained by an ex world champ and absolute maniac master lec :p


I have also trained a lil in ju jit su and I have learnt an awesome amount from my older brother who has done more than me. Bits of jeet kun do, wing chun and kickboxing etc.




I love martial arts, my passion. :)


Tips for muay thai include expecting alot of pain and be agressive. Best defence in allmost any martial art or any fight is a strong offence. People simply trying to defend themselves don't win. Its the people who fight back who win. Remember that :)

do you have a website papalongchops? although if specing kickboxing is anything like specing judo ill give it a pass! boring as hell :rolleyes:

[papalongchops]

No I don't actually but my brother teaches kickboxing for a living and he has one. Go to www.kikbox.co.uk he is running the fight night so will know the dates.

About judo mate i agree, boring as sin. I would rather suck sick from a pig farmers sock than watch it!:(

Kickboxing on the otherhand is totally different. Go down, get pissed at the bar and watch people smash each others face in:eek: :) :)

This is the first fight night ever when I have not fought. Looking forward to it.

[alan phoenix]

being dyslexic i once took a course in box kicking.:eek:

[baller525]

the fight night sounds cool...

anyone going to bsmap?

[Scrumpy]

i do Shaolin Mok Gar kung fu and a kempo fighting system (you wouldn't think it to look at me tho) we focus on suvival of the sickest rather then fittest :D
