quinteros1963 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Just Curious. What style of MA do you practice? How long have you been involved and whats your current rank/grade (color and kyu/rank)?Goju ryu8 mos9th kyu orange beltI was involved in boxing for a few years prior to goju. The past is no more; the future is yet to come. Nothing exist except for the here and now. Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what's clearly is clearly at hand...Lets continue to train!

tallgeese Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Bujin Bugei Jutsu (modern era combative art)- 19 years, 4th danGokei Ryu- 15 years, 2nd danI competed under both amature shootfighting rules and open mma rules back in the day for about 3-4 years. I did a year or so of fairly serious boxing training during undergrad as well as two years of MT and JKD training during grad school (meaning I got way more out of my ma training during that time than academic benifits ). I don't actively persue training solely in any of those now, other than what I've kind of integrated into my overall skill set.The past few years I've been training hard in the ground game out of the linage that Jim Theobald comes out of. Beats me which flavor it is and I haven't sought any rank in it. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww
