Well not everybody, my old dear doesn't like it and won't let me sign my 10yr old brother up :S

Does anyone else here do any martial arts?

Just general interest

Well I guess in Manchester it should be mandatory to know some form of self defence heh!

I don't personally but a friend of mine does Brazillian JuJitsu.

I've just got my brown belt in taekwando. I have my first black belt test in July.

I am also the most unhealthy person in the world and probably the last person who should be doing this!

I used to do Judo in secondary school, was a fantastic sport to do.

Belts dont mean you are a good fighter though.

But at least your trousers won't fall down.

And you can do the karate dances.

I train in Aikido and Iaido

Bipolar Kittens · 22 Feb 2008 at 22:12

I train Aibo

Sorry, that's really bad.

MajorMaccas · 22 Feb 2008 at 22:25

Clearly Aikido wins!

Soviet · 22 Feb 2008 at 22:27

Gonna start learning Wing Chun Kung Fu shortly, either that or Small Circle Jujitsu from this guy here.

Krav Maga seems pretty cool too.

loopstah · 22 Feb 2008 at 22:46

I did Judo till I was 12, think I got to Orange 3, stopped before green anyway.

I did Hung Kuen Kung Fu for a year at university, never took an exam but it was great watching the more experienced guys do demonstrations.

I'd love to get back into a martial art, I should look for somewhere local that does one.

My 9 year old son is a blue belt in Karate (and has a grading in a couple of weeks).

My 5 year old daughter has been to a few sessions, but I don't think she's ready for it yet though.

You are King Leonidas of Sparta and I claim my £5!

Wow a lot more than I was expecting and lots of variety!

I'm going to start Kung Fu again from March hence my interest, I'm healthy and fit but want to keep a weekly routine of varied duties so work, photography and martial arts so my body gets a blend of everything good
