OT: Who takes martial arts ?
Like the title says. =)
Where? When? How long?
I use to take Karate and then went to Tae Kwan Do and at the same time, did Wing Chun.
I found WIng Chun to be extremely boring. Stood there for 2 hours punching air and learning wierd blocks.
Karate and Tae kwan Do was much much more useful and a better exercise.
Anyone still taking Martial Arts? I would like to get back into it.

I took Tae Kwon Do and Aikido at Seikido Tae Kwon Do in London. 5 years, quit at red belt. I've got 5 cousins, 1 aunt who are all black belts in Tae Kwon Do. If any of you live in London, my cousin has a club called Extreme Martial Arts. He's 5 time Ontario champion and Canadian champion once in his weight class. Its a lot of fun. Wish i never quit.
I took karate for about 7 years in London until the school closed down.
The style was Okinawan Go-Gyu-Ryu karate and I got my black belt when I turned 16.
Actually, I had the 8 hour testing when I was still 15, but had to wait until 16 to recieve the ranking.
Best time of my life was there, now its in the gym.

YOu guys have Katas like
Kihon

damn. i forgot wut other ones i know =(
The school i went to was pretty hardcore. We fought without protection, full contact... Knuckle push ups with someone's leg on top of your back... and non-stop blocking punches and kicks UNTIL you're able to block all of it...
It was fun stuff. =)..
