    Right now looking for something new. I've done half the first long form of Yang style Tai chi Chuan and I am also a second degree Black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Had to stop both because of time constraints and I like trying out new styles.

    Very cool! Right now, I'm a bit of a beginner in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Gracie Style) and a Karate class in the same gym, of which I am a yellow belt in.

    Many years ago when I lived in Colorado I took some classes, but then we moved and I never got around to picking it back up.

    I used to once upon a time, but I haven't for a long while now. I miss it and actually want to get back into it, but my financial situation isn't really forgiving enough for me to do that right now.

    Yes. I don't particularly adhere to one style, seeing as how my instruction was based on "if it works, then you use it; screw the rest." All that means is that I'm a mixed martial artist, and I must be damn good at it, if I make a living out of teaching it. The styles under my belt (hahhaah, get it, belt?) are Gracie/Brazilian Jiujitsu, Muay Thai, Kung Fu, and Judo.

    Took Tae Kwon Do and boxing classes for some years in my youth, I'm probably going to get into Muay Thai and Krav Maga later on when I have some more money and time.

    I did ju jitsu for like 5 months in 2005. I liked it a lot, but now I'm going to start at Kyukushinkai karate like the coming monday because some friends of mine do. Looking forwards to it!

    I went to a karate lesson with a friend when I was about 8 or 9. I don't remember much of it at all. I would like to learn a martial art but really I don't have time. So my fighting style is just run the smurf away from danger.

    If push comes to shove, and I can't run away, then I've got my own mixed fighting style full of moves stolen from a variety of sources. Mostly fighting games. You can actually learn a lot from those things.

    I use to do it a long time ago, got to blue belt, cant remember the style though.

    I enjoy martial arts movies but dont really like watching realistic martial arts, just the fancy Jackie Chan stuff.

    I'm currently 2nd degree black belt in KMA (Korean Martial Arts) a freestyle art derived from CKD and kickboxing. I've been doing martial arts for 7 years
    If I turn my back I'm defenceless, and to go blindly seems senseless.
