martial arts

im into mix martial arts.

I have always wanted to try martial arts but have never got around to it.It is a great form of excersise.

i practised karate and now i am not because i lost practise

I'm a hybrid, lol. I started studying Isshinryu Karate in 1964, but we moved around a lot because of my Dad's job and moved to a place where I couldn't find an isshinryu instructor in 1966, so I started taking Tang Soo Do until 1972. At that time, I was in the military and stationed in Korea for four years and while I was there, I went to Praying Mantis Kung Fu class every morning, Hapkido class at lunch and Tae Kwon Do practice at night. When I came back to the states, I taught some, but then I got interested in Wing Chun Kung Fu and studied that for four years. Since 1982, I've focused mainly on the soft styles of Tai Chi Chuan and Pakua.

I study an eclectic style taking forms and techniques from many wushu(chinese martial arts) styles but is centered around Southern Shaolin kungfu. My Sifu also teaches some Tai-Chi, as he believes it completes the balance of the Yin and Yang in the martial artists..Yang, or hard style being the fighting techniques and movements and the Yin being the soft, waterlike movements of Tai-Chi. And as your desire to learn some Tai-Chi, I would definetly recommend it, it would be a perfect balance to your Shotokn Karate and will help in balancing you out as not just a martial artists but a person. If you are looking for a specific style of Tai Chi in your area I would recommend you looking into a Yang style Tai Chi class..it has more applicable movements and if you are like me and like the excercise, it would be much more challenging and fun. Hope this helps.

I'm into Kenpo... or at least I was, I stopped a few years ago but I would like to get back into it, or maybe I would get into something new like Kung Fu or something

I do not engage myself in martial arts. Not that I heat it, I just have much better things to do.

I do shotokan aswell, under SKIIF, it is quite good, i would like to do kung-fu, and i believe Tai-Chi is a from of kung fu which i would like to do aswell, but i really want to do wushu, it's just so beautiful ^_^

I've been practising Shotokan karate since i was 5 yrs. of age. I just love the martial art. My master is the only 7th dan black belt in India... He teaches us various techniques. This is the only form of martial art i currently learn. However, i would also like to learn Kung Fu(Jackie Chan's moves r amazing)
