I have been in muhai tai for 3 years till now , and it's an excellent style ,i love it , but not as much as kyokushinkai... i have a question , whats Silat ??? any informations ??

I study Eugue-Ryu Karate Jutsu, as it's called in full. Normally just called Eugue Ryu.(yes it is real, I really don't feel like debating that) Reason for picking it....there's an extreme apparent lack of MA around here, until you see all the people that show up a tournament. But my friend goes to this one, told me about it. Sensei likes him because he's bringing more of us highschool aged kids in. Me, my friend who just got her yellow belt, and soon enough another friend of ours.

I study Baji Quan, one of the most violent and effective Chinese martial art out there today.

Baji Quan characterized by being practical, powerful, very fierce and ruthless. Its external appearance is rather simplistic while the usage of internal body mechanics is quite sophisticated.

Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan'

When taught as a martial art it can be very effective against any style. I hope I never have to use the applications of the form as I have seen how they can hurt somone very badly if not kill them.

I've practiced Karate for about two months and am currently an orange belt. I always liked the way that people who learn Karate use their entire body as a weapon instead of concentrating on just one part. I don't think I'll ever quit it.

I studied freestyle american karate in high school, after a brief stint in the army I studied TKD, and now am absolutely loving Chinese Kenpo. I chose Kenpo because that was the last thing left in town that I hadn't studied. I was considering the TKD school again, but simply cannot see eye to eye with the instructor. There is a Hung Gar school in the area, but he is exclusive and not taking any new students. So, I walked into the Kenpo school some time ago, and now am the program director/lead tester/assistant instructor. Not bad.

I thoroughly enjoy what I study because it links every aspect of every art that has ever interested me. I even had the displeasure of having to use my training and can attest to its effectiveness...even if most of any art's effectiveness lies within the practitioner.

Anyway, Chinese Kenpo as sanctioned by the IKCA really does it for me.

My style is karate, Though I started it just to lose some weight I ended up losing much weight I like kicking and in renshinkan style there is lot kicking, 60% kicks- 40% punches. Ive thoughted that I start boxing too when I have time, since I can`t use my hands too good. Flexibility is the one that Im good at, and is there better way to use it than kick the other in the head

i have done 3 years of highschool wrestling. 12 years of boxing, 4 years tkd, 3years karate, 2 years muay tai, 2years bbj.

i have had to move around alot because of the military so i could not always get the kinda school i wound want but some training is beter than none.

as a fighter i would consider myself a thai boxer. (i hold my hands closer to my chin as apposed to high) cause i like to punch.

I've studdied a variety of stuff over the years.

I've committed myself to daidojuku karate now.

I like the way it combines the Budo spirit and no nonsense practicality of

kyokushin with an open minded approach to incorporating whatever works, similar to JKD.

It combines karate,Muay Thai, Judo, and BJJ into one comprehensive system. Different teachers often specialise in different areas. My dojo is heavily MT influenced, which suits me as I've found MT to be one of the most effective arts I've trained in.

I like the emphasis on realistic sparring in all ranges, and without combersome gloves or rules, allowing for the use of grabbing, elbows,knees, throws, chokes,locks,.......making it not only a really tough competitive sport but a very street effective MA also.

Our comps use MMA type rules but we wear helmets, and go at it practically bare knuckle. I like the helmets because it allows for realistic bareknuckle head punching without too much damage, and also because it allows me to fight with my contacts in. Without them I have trouble seeing my opponent. Blind as a bat!!!

My art is Goju ryu karate. A very traditional karate style with a lot of enphasis on breathing and conditioning. Quite a complete system. Mostly striking art (punches, srikes, elbows, knees kicks) but with quite a bit of grappling and ground fighting.

I'm very happy with it.
