GorillaKing798: Too legit to quit; +48|6585|Tampa, Florida

Just wanted to know, does anyone here do any martial arts or have a fighting background? Post up your experience.

8 years of Tae Kwon Do: reached the rank of 3rd degree blackbelt
Just started Gracie Barra Jujitsu last month currently a white belt

Preference: Stand up fighting but I have very good submissions and am getting better on the ground.

2nd kyu Ko Tora Kai (variant school of shotokan) karate. Hoping to get black by the end of next year if I find the time for training. There was a big thread on this back in early '06.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Kamikaze17: Over the line!; +70|7219|Mark it zero.

Currently training in muy thai, boxing, jiu-jitsu, judo, and other random mixed martial arts. i was supposed to have an MMA fight last weekend but my opponent had to back down due to a cracked rib from training. On july 12th there is a jiu-jitsu/submission wrestling tournament that i'm doing which will be quite a bit of fun inbetween MMA fight time. Hopefully by august I will have an MMA fight scheduled

I love the stand up fighting, but I'm incredibly comfortable with my ground work since I have a long wrestling background and have been doing jiu-jitsu for a while now.

GorillaKing do you compete at all?

Srsly, I have no experience. I always wanted to try karate but was to lazy to start.

Havok, it's worth it. A great source of fun, fitness, adrenaline rushes and mates.

Edits.

Shem, uni is alright for it. Plenty of clubs at most unis buuuuut...

You might not have the time for training. A mate of mine wanted to take up ju jitsu at uni but... He's a first year engineering student and he reckons between uni and his girl, not much time.

My OCD dictates I have to punch a bag 1000 times a day at my Dad's. It's one of the more useful OCD traits.

8 years of Shotokan Karate, hopefully 2. Kyu, going for 1. Kyu this winter.

My favorite part of martial arts is no doubt sparring though, having a real opponent, both trying to win.

When i was doing Tae Kwon Do I used to compete in the tournaments, now as i have started a new style It'll probably be a few more months before I go into jujitsu tourneys.
