Anyone here do any Martial Arts? I like the two styles, Wushu and Wing Chun.

Here are some clips of it.

i do it for fun with my dog lol...

 

Lol, how special.

I've never really checked out much martial arts. The last time I can really remember doing anything like this was just a basic karate class when I was in preschool. It was nothing big, mainly the different poses and such. Those two styles look interesting; I'll have to take a closer look into them. I highly doubt I'll really take them seriously, though, as I'm not really a martial arts person.

 

I do MMA training, a lot of martial arts in in that.

 

I got my black belt about a year ago. Shit was cash.

 

Black belt in which Martial Arts? If you don't mind me asking.

I dont do any of the soft arts, or anyhting oriental really, although I have trained in krav maga, BJJ, Muay Thai, western boxing, and collegiate wrestling. More MMA centered fighting styles, but all ends up being about combat right?

 

Not sure of the exact type of karate, but yeah, it was karate.
I was one belt away from black
but it wasn't for me, and it was when i was about 12 lol, so awhile ago.

 

I'v been doing martial arts all my life. i started off very young at around 6 doing judo, i only did judo till i was about 14 i found it was a great base martial art to learn at a young are and then later move on to more dynamic martial art. at 14 i picked up jujitsu (tradition not brazilian) and iv been doing jujitsu for about 3 and a half years now, im on my brown belt and will be going for my black in november.
i currently do quite a few competitions but atm its only really for some experience i hope to try out doing some more serious MMA style fight later on once i have achieved my black belt.
i would recommend martial arts to anyone! especially jujitsu! its amazing for your fitness level and also for your confidence!

 

used to do kickboxing and did some weapons defense with a grand master choi. wrestle almost daily but it's mainly dicking around, debating taking brazilian jiu jitsu this summer.

 

DO you like mma?

 

oops double posted.

 

modern tae kwon doe is stretching and bullshit, I wish they still taught the military way.

 

I said I like those two styles, which is Wushu and Wing Chun. I didn't forget it, I just didn't mention it, also it's spelled "Tae Kwon Do".

Also, here's the Bejing Wushu Team again, wow, they're almost perfectly in sync.

I was fortunate enough to train in Tae Kwon Do from a Grand Master for 9 years that used to teach at Fort Knox for the CIA and Special Forces. You get some great, and a wide variety of training if you get the right teacher.

 

I hear a lot of stories where people have had the chance to train with great Coaches/Teachers. I heard it would be really hard to get a chance to train in the Bejing Wushu Team, not sure if Master Wu Bin is still teaching/coaching. I guess if I went to Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan, I would probably be training in Shanghai or Guangzhou, and training in Hong Kong Victoria or Kowloon or in Taipei Taiwan.

Wing Chun A.K.A Sticky Hands!

 

Haha, yeah your right. They're constantly in contact with their hands, but sometimes they use their feet/legs. Still a cool style, very strong and very defensive, I love the story about Ip Man, and Donnie Yen has made a movie about it too. You people should check out Ip Man the movie, there's Ip Man 2 as well, Sammo Hung the man or the legend is in it too.

And don't forget the best movie of all time, Enter the Dragon! I love Wing Chun's style, as it emphasizes the center line of your body and being in touch with all senses as you fight, including your opponent's. Finding weakness and being "Stiff like board, yet flexible, like bamboo."

 

Haha, never heard those ones before. But I love the one inch punch, and I also like the rapid fire punches, more relaxed a fighter, more punches he/she can throw.
