Cool What martial arts are You in? - 02-13-2007, 11:25 PM

Well, Excessum guesses that martial arts are the most widespread thing that came from Asian countries (partly, of-course, Japan). So he can bet gazillion yens on that, that he is not the only one who has some martial arts training background (or even foreground ). So now here is Your chance to brag about it

Foreword:
Right... Excessum is very enthusiastic and takes every opportunity to try something new, but, unfortunately, he gets bored very fast and quits it...

So he has been in-to Aikido for around a year, but was kicked out because he started to hit on his very very strict Sensei's beloved daughter. Then he moved on to something more aggressive... Take van do (sorry for the spelling in case it is not correct) and karate (after a unpleasant accident he got himslef in-to while sparring he had to hold back from martial arts for almost a year) and finally after a while he tried fighting "without rules" or "street fighting" out of which he was banned for using aikido weak-spot techniques and gave up on martial arts for a year... now he is looking forward to return on training and wants to try K-1... Wish him good luck as he will need it

'K guys, what about you?


You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup. France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.' Need I say more?

Actually that's more of a sport than martial art... but still, you can kick butt, so that counts

Aikido!

I've been into aikido for a few years now. Been quite busy for the past couple of months so my moves are getting rusty.

Does anyone know a place where we can visit, observe and perhaps practice aikido somewhere near Matsudo-shi?

I'm planning to stay there for one month so it'd be nice to get some action...


Take it easy.

I was in martial arts, I was a purple belt in Shotokan Karate.

( That is the same style of Ryu from Street Fighter ) lol I was exposed to Jujutsu and Tae Kwon Do as well.

But I am better at Shotokan out of all three.
