Let's start from me, because I started thread xD . Atm I am training Kung Fu Wing Chun. For those who don't know what is it: Bruce Lee trained this martial art with Ip Man. Martial art is based on applied science combined with martial art. Here is one video for those who never saw how it looks like:

If I see you post your own images later I'll do the same xDDD .

I trained karate for year :D
-
I am trained martial arts for more than 7 years ( with some brakes ) i started with Pagration an ancient hellenic martial art ( a mix of wrestling and boxing ), then i started Kick-Boxing in which i reached a high level and still enjoying when ever i can, in the army i was trained in Krav Maga, an Israeli martial art which is very useful.
That's it, now what ? do you wanna fight me :)
-
I trained karate for 2 months :-X
-
Before you can fight gexxos you need to get past me :) lol. I am doing EWTO Wing Tsun and can't really tell for how long. I did it for 2 years.. then I needed to stop, then I started again (siu nim tao and chum kiu ftw. Soon I can start with biu tze). All in all its more than 6 years. When I was young I did Judo for at least 5 years :)

Wing Tsun is modification of Wing Chun, but still equally good martial art. It's game of reflex .
-
I trained basic Taekwondo for a year. Never really got the hang of it.
-
Taekwondo is cool. Cool leg work :D .
-
I'm trained in the martial art of doing nothing and sitting on my ass all day long, by far this is the most dangerous form of martial arts. You can kill an elephant with the accumulated belly fat that will develop from practising this martial art.
;D
-
Inded. Plus you will become like Kung Fu Panda, with all that fat you could resist critical hits. xD

I'm currently only practicing one martial art and that's wrestling. I've been fairly successful with it and I'm currently one of the highest educated wrestling coaches in my country. My biggest accomplishment would be that two of my wrestlers won the national championship this year.
Anyway I would love to try out other martial arts but I do currently not have the time to practice them. One of the reasons is that I don't wan't to do Karate (too boring/childish for me) and I would have to travel to another town to practice the martial arts I want.
OP: I must say that Kung Fu Wing Chu looks pretty cool. Sadly I don't think there's a place in my country where they practice it.. I'm gonna try out MMA some time for sure..
-
That's nice Phage. You are good trainer then :-D . I often listen how people say that some martial art is better then some other. Reality is that it's not the martial art that win, it's mather of fighter. Every martial art is good, and if you master it, who can stop you then :) .
-
True.. For me it's not about learning how to fight it's about self control and personal development. That's also why I wan't to try out multiple martial arts and I will for sure do it. I just need a car before it would be possible for me to do that ;)
-
Yes, that's the point. To master yourself. Many people try martial art so they can show off. :D
-
And the truth is that such people won't last long. The people who do this for mastering specific things or because they have a passion tends to stick with their sport for much longer period time.
-
None. They're all bullshit.
-
I used to train judo for 5 years, back in Poland I won couple tournaments and got couple medals in general, but bronze at international tournament for juniors in Germany was my biggest success though :P Haven't been doing it for couple years now, though it is a great martial art for keeping balance of your body :)
-
Did a little bit of Wing Chun and also some freestyle mma. Can't do wing chun anymore due to relocation and lack of wing chun teachers or practitioners in my area, and due to ankle and knee injuries I decided not to continue doing freestyle mma or other hard arts.
Still train my cardiovascular system and do low impact bodyweight training just to maintain general fitness, and do carry my Maglite 6D (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maglite-S6D036-Cell-Flashlight-Blister/dp/B000056BMF/ref=sr_1_4?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1376342001&sr=1-4&keywords=maglite+6D#productDetails) torch if I need to walk through dark areas. At 600 grams and 50cm long metal shock-resistant body this torch truly serves two purposes.

I hope there isn't any other purpose for the 50cm long metal shock... ;D
-
not quite martial, but the passion of the fap.

No, for me its two purposes only.
Though I am sure Dr. Morph would manage to find a third use for this big heavy metal torch.
Anyway, back on topic...
If you want self defense then forget martial arts in their traditional form. You wouldn't want to train karate or some style of kung fu for 10 years just to be able to protect yourself. Better go do a year of boxing. You will be much better off in real life situations.
I have seen too many black belts of traditional martial arts get their asses whooped by street kids who never did any martial arts but just tasted lots of actual fights or boxers who actually had some sense of timing and knew how it feels to get hit hard, and how to focus and keep it together after getting hit.
Best way to learn to fight, is to fight, and not kick and punch air over and over. Just saying. Though I do understand that for many, martial arts are not about self defense or fighting. And in that case I would understand it.

Yeah, i am sure for this man, just kidding.
BTW, Last time i checked, Dr. Morph used this NSFW (http://imgur.com/AkhL35u)
End of Thread Hijacking by me, next post must be topic specific.

I did karate when I was a child for about two years.
Later I did some Kendo.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/Kendo_EM_2005_-_kote.jpg)
I don't do anything right now, though.
I agree that it doesn't help at all with selfdefense. Kendo is only for competition and there are many rules that keep you from fighting unfair, but in a real fight I doubt the opponent will act by these rules.
