BF2S Forums Any of you BF 2 guys into Karate

Not into Karate,but have been training in Jeet Kune do for about a year and a half.

I did Judo for a while, got to Orange Belt and then i quit...

I did Tae Kwon Do for about 5 years.. I was NC state champ for 02 and Then I join the Army...

I loved it .. After that I was shiped to Korea for 3 years where I did not have time to continue my traning but it was a cool place to be.

I did Aki-Jujitsu until I torned  a menisc in a knee. I am now awaiting surgery and will get back to it ASAP

I've tried out a bit of Muay Thai but that shit is too hardcore.

As for me, 2nd Black in Tae Kwon Do, stopped a year or so ago though.

And a weeksworth of systema.

And ironically a gi has elastic pants.

Being Italian, I'm a student of the whole Bring-a-Knife-to-a-Gunfight-Fu style.

Wado Ryu (What David Deaton teaches), and I'm a brown belt.  Self defense for me.

Judo since 12 years (2/3 of my life), brown belt (1.Kyu) and going to get a black one.

I'm currently looking for a Manriki chain Sensei/Sabahnihim.  If anyone knows of a master within the Houston, TX area let me know.

throw away the ninja chain and come to singapore I'll show you what kickboxing is all about. Muay Thai is all a man needs My friend fooling with it almost took off a testicle.

When my hand was still ok, teaching: Muay Thai, Unarmed Combat. Black belt in akdio, dabble in jujitsu, judo. Sorry but I've always thumbed my nose at Tae Kwon Do. I have never sparred or even SEEN someone who can come close to taking me down.

Kendo's cool but i'm not a very.. weapon person

Polar - I've got mad respect for Mauy Thai.  You fuckers are hardcore.  I started in Shaolin Do, mostly for the animal katas/forms.  I have alot of respect for the performance aspect of the 5 animals.  My training ended with alot of grace and dexterity, but lacked in power.  Enter Tae Kwon Do.  I studied for technique and power, and once I was in a comfort zone, I began Krav Maga. (ISD)  A bit more like Hapkido with a very technical view. 

My main reason for studying martial arts is my love for weapons.  I'm taking on the short staff Nagitana right now, and dabbling abit in tri-sectional staff. (yeah my nutz hurt from the mishaps)  I've studied bo, chuks, sai, katana, escrimi, tonfa, kamas, and basic knives (butterfly, double edge, K-bar style)  I'd love to get the manriki chain under my belt, as well as the hook swords, but I lack a teacher. (sigh)

I'd like to pursue Shaolin Do Chin-Na.  "The art of seizing and grabbing"  Primary focus is disabling your oppenent by removing their natural weapons.  Alot of time is spent training on being able to lift, lock, or remove the muscles, tendons, and joints used in combat.  I'm probably gonna have to move outta this country to find a good and willing teacher.  Hopefully, I'll have earned my 4th or 5th degree in Shaolin Do by the time I'll be able to afford to move.  Maybe I'll have even tracked down a master to teach me by then.  It's a long road from here, but a worthwhile goal to me.
