Anyone on here do kung fu or any other martial arts? I'm currently trying out a few styles to see what's best for me. |

hahah :) you should know better thad, martial arts are learnt strictly for purposes of self defence only. sheffieldbleep: one of my housemates has got a good book on jiu jitsu, with all its forms and such. when i get back up to leeds i'll have a look to see what it's called. |

I don't think that pansy latino dance is a school of kung fu. google Wong Kiew Kit. |

That's what I though at first until I saw some footage of Royce Gracie (185 pounds) got the better of a 400 pound sumo champ! So I've decided to focus on jiu jitsu. |

I haven't practiced any kung fu, but I've studied some of the most elemental shaolin styles (crane, snake, tiger, panther, dragon etc.) out of pure interest. |

I did Dragon style fairly intensely (tuition 3 hours, twice a week and about half that again in my own time) for just over 18 months. We covered a very small bit of Snake and Wing Chun (just a few moves really) too. It's quite sweet, I've still got the muscle memory for a fair bit of it, I practice on my own from time to time. I tried Lau Gar when I moved, but couldn't really get on with it. |

I've been practicing a Swedish type of modern military combat. It's a mix of different styles. It's called tom-i bol-len. I've been doing it since my national service. There's different styles within the style, like älgen, vandrande pinnen, knivhot and farfars hagelbössa. |

I practiced Karate for three years, but quit when we had a "belt-graduation" the day after my 18th birthday. I choose booze and sluts instead of training. I planned to start again while studying, but I've been to lazy I guess. Martial arts is a fine thing to keep fit and healthy |

I did Lau Gar which is an adaptaion of Hung Gar, Lau Gar is more suited for someone who wants to get into Kick Boxing. Then I did Boxing, Ju jitsu, Judo, Pancration and random violent encounters with bullet heads! If you were to start from scratch with no Martial Arts experience and want to able to defend yourself in a day to day situation, I would recomend a combination of Judo and Boxing. Once you have a good knowledge of your balance and how to punch/take a punch it really doesn't matter which path you choose to take from that point. Brazillian Ju Jitsu or traditional Pancration/Greco Wrestling is good for someone with experience but not a good place to start. |

"If you were to start from scratch with no Martial Arts experience and want to able to defend yourself in a day to day situation, I would recomend a combination of Judo and Boxing." Agree 100% with this. If the main thing you're looking to get out of it is to fairly quickly learn to defend yourself, Judo and Boxing (together) are the way to go. |
