Your Style

What martial art do you practice? This thread was made with the purpose of letting the members of this site get to know each other better, discuss their fighting techniques, and more or less just hang out and chat. Okay, I'll start.

1. Learning Krav Maga
2. Learning Sanshou

-Saint

1. Japanese Ju Jitsu
1. Western Boxing

Isn't shansou basically kick-boxing / Kukg Fu?

MMA but to break it down:

> BJJ
> Muay Thai
> Wrestling / Judo

Kuk Sool Won is my main style but that in itself is a mix of styles, basically a mix of Hapkido (Which is aikido with other aspects thrown in) and then it has kicks from TKD, Punches and hand strikes from Karate and then other stuff as well

I also train a little bit of Boxing at home

Yes, that's pretty much it.

Ive wanted to cross-train in Kickboxing for a while, but I might give Sanshou a look

My style is purely TKD

My style is brawling and making you eat dust with my dirty boxing moves

Do you not think it's childish and dangerous to "Get into fights"?

And are you not at all worried that one day you might run across someone who trains day in day out in Boxing or MMA or something?

I was going to suggest you think about joining a Boxing or Kickboxing or MMA gym or something but since you seem to have a childish attitude towards fighting i don't think it's a good idea. Fighting is something that should be used when your personal safety is in danger and you can't talk, walk or run your way out of the situation.

If you joined a gym you would learn to respect that, fighting because someone calls you names or pushes you or anything else is just pathetic tbh - You defend yourself when you need to, not fight on the streets for the fun of it or to gain a reputation. I certainly hope you don't go STARTING or LOOKING for fights either, I have had a few people try that with me and they have been left in a pretty bad way, but only because they forced me to react.

What I train in a style called Isshin-Jitsu. It is a mix of

1.Isshin-ryū – Karate

2.Aiki-jūjutsu – Which is a mix of
a.Aikido
b.jūjutsu

I started out in WTF Taekwondo for 2 years but then unforunately the class closed, every since I've been training in ITF Taekwondo and have never looked back, I have 2 years of WTF experience and 6 of ITF Taekwondo, I've been to several competitions and aspire to become an instructor once I grade for black

ITF is pretty good.. Stay with it!
