    I spent several years studying Jujitsu, Akido, Judo, Dambe and Kendo. I also studied Muay Thai for a couple of months but didn't enjoy it as much.

    I think anyone who grew up during the reign of Power Rangers and loved the show took up a few tae kwon do lessons.

    Army fighting is based heavily on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu , or I should say Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. I know it.

    I don't know any martial arts, and I doubt that I will later learn any, although I would greatly like to.

    Some that I would like to learn are on this list.

    I have not practiced it, but the Jiu-Jitsu experts I see in MMA are extremely impressive, so I would pick that.

    I'm not gonna lie. I got giddy seeing Eskrima at number 2 on that list. With the people I learned with, the motto was that you weren't officially part of the group until you got wounded while sparring.

    I did karate when I was really young, til I was about 10. I was purple belt when I quit.

    I then did kickboxing for a little while, I loved that.

    Also were I to learn a martial art I would probably go for something a bit less well-known like Savate.

    I am too clumsy to even bother. That and scared of all things physical.

    You know, I always wondered if that guy ever learned the ways of the ninja.

    I did tae kwon do for awhile, but I quit when they made me spar >=( I didn't want to learn how to fight, I just thought it was a nice change from the usual methods of exercising, i.e. running around in a circle for half an hour.

    I bet he did, and he's standing behind you right now, ready to lecture you about ninjutsu, the art of the shinobi (shin00bie?) from the depths of his enigmatic mind.

    Maybe then, and only then, you'll be able to use his shinobi-iri as well.

    As for myself, I was in some sort of karate class when I was a little kid. I got bored with it and left when I was like... 8 though. xD
