What martial arts are You in?

[packetpirate]

I self-practice swordsmanship. I want to learn Kendou but there aren't any places around here that offer courses on it... and even if they did, they're probably all bullshit classes. I have a 44" shinai that I practice with. I'd say I'm pretty good... swordplay is 90% focus and reflexes, so the other 10% is the wisdom to know how to counter an attack.

I like to watch BJJ but Fedor put sambo on the map. I did judo for 4 years and it was great fun. However, like a Polish author (Marcin Bruczkowski) stated, judo and karate are not nearly as popular in Japan as people think. I had to agree with him here. They may have had Pride and now Dream but the UFC has really surpassed those.

I see other people on here have practiced kendo. I have too! We should get our own dojo together! (lol, if only. We all probably live a bazillion miles away from each other) I have my own shinai, but haven't practiced in years. I really miss it!

I'm currently learning tai-chi, which is very meditative and relaxing! It's very complicated at first, but with practice anyone can do it.

It hasn't supassed K-1. Most Japanese fighters in that do Karate. I think it is still popular there.

I use to compete in Tang Su Do. My dadien is an instructor.
Over here in Aus martial arts is kinda mucked up, cause people just wonna look good they dont care about the actual defense of Karate.
Karate is one MAJOR reason why im going to go to Japan, cause i wonna look at how it should be done lol!

Then you probably practice crap. It is not something you can teach yourself, and there are plenty of places in MA you could actually learn if you were truly motivated.
