KarateEd Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I am the only one I know of in my family that has consistently been involved in MA and attained a BB. My dad trained for a year or so back when I first started in TSD. I had a cousin that studied Yoshikai for a few years around the same time I was studying TSD. It has been 20 years since either of them have practiced, as far as I know. Ed
marksmarkou Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 My Father trained Wado Ryu under Toru Takamizawa in the 70's at the TEMPLE in Birmingham. I started judo and karate then 3 of my cousing started training in martial arts. https://www.markstraining.com Fighting and Training Methods for Unarmed Martial Artists.
Kieran-Lilith Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Dad studied TKD for a long time. He quit a bit after he met my mom, though. My brother and I took it up, and then Mom got into it, so everyone is trained in some style. Gramps was in the military. I think his father was before him, too.At our dojo there's just a whole bunch of families training together. We have a mom and her three kids; a mom, a dad, and their two kids; my family; a mom and her two kids; a dad and his daughter; dad and his two boys....the list goes on. We refer to each other by our "clans." Hee. He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful Lao-tsu
white owl Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I foud out recently that my uncle took some sort of martial art when he was in the Marine Corps 35(do not know when exactly) some odd years ago, he did not stick with it though, but it starts with me and my husband and 10 year old son(soon to be 11 ).
the beast Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 As far as I know myself,wif and son are the only martialartists in my family Semper Fi , Dave
Tiger1962 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 No one else in my family has trained before. I always wanted to but never thought I was good enough or able to. "Never argue with an idiot because they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." ~ Dilbert
NY_Karatedork Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 My mom practiced for a year a long time ago then quit and my dad made it to Shodan but he studied in Japan During WWII. I have ninja monkies in my brain and they are using it as a trampaline.
NightOwl Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Somewhat. Military service does (both world wars, Marines, Air Force, Navy, Army), and there were some boxers and wrestlers in there to boot (grandparents and some uncles). My gf is into ma's to boot but I guess you couldn't qualify her as family. Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.~Theodore Roosevelt
Truestar Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I thought I posted in here already but don't see it. I am the first and hope to not be the last. Although currently the ideas of a family don't seem likely it will probably be inevitable.
Chikara Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 My family's very religious (the kind that frowns a lot on martial arts). Yet, both my mom and dad did it for 2 months, my brother 1 month so far, and my great aunt got to brown belt many years ago. The religious side of our family knows nothing of what we do. Hee hee hee! Chikara karate es el amor de mi vida.
