I love Taekwondo and Muay Thai, I've been doing Taekwondo for four and a half years and Muay Thai almost just as long. I should hopefully have my 2nd Dan before the end of this year, TKD.

Taekwondo has helped me with my Muay Thai because of the extreme emphasis on kicks. I love sparring in both styles but I prefer Muay Thai sparring because I just incorporate my TKD into the Muay Thai, but I can also use my hands and knees.

I used to take grappling/ju jitsu but quit because it was costing me more money, but I always enjoyed that aswell. My instructor with sometimes add some ground fighting into black belt class though so I do get some ground time in.

I've tried one class on Ninjitsu while I was in Japan, and I really wasn't too impressed. I actually went to Japan with a group of ninjas from a Bujinkan Ninjitsu school here, they go to Japan every year to train with Hatsume Soke and a couple other high rated ninja masters. I can't remember the name of the man I saw however.


Visited Japan in 2007.

I am female.
