Actually, I did 4 years worth of Ju-Jitsu. Which is one of the Grandfathers of Martial Arts - comprised mainly of Karate, Judo, and Aikido. I was about to do my Black Belt Test when I screwed up my knee, I didnt go back to it but wish I did.

This is a great thing to get into....especially for kids.

If you are considering doing this - make sure you check out the credentials of whoever is going to be teaching you. I would insist that they have at LEAST 5 years of teaching experience and plan on doing it long term - by that I mean that it takes 3+ years to get to a point where you could use it in a life and death situation.

i've thought about it over the years myself. there's a place near me that supposedly has a pretty good reputation for teaching kung fu. i heard kung fu focuses more on mind control but don't know if that's true or not. thought it'd help me do a better job of controlling my temper and focusing my thoughts. doc, what do you think?

Try it Johnny...you might like it. Go down and watch a class - they might even let you try out a session. Check this out: http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/index.php

At first, its more of a self defence thing, but after you really get into it...the self defence aspect is only part of the reason that you do it. I can speak for Kung Fu because I am not real familiar with it but it will teach you self control, patience, humility, respect etc. Check it out.

that's kind of what i was hoping for. i could care less about fighting. had enough of that in the "good" ol' days. very interested in what it could teach me as far as self-control, strength, etc.

scarecrow, what are you thinking about trying?

we do a little in the marines but it is a mix of a bunch of stuff. I have thought about trying to learn brazilian ju jitsu or mui thia.

and a black belt in crazy!!

that mui thia looks like some serious stuff!!! saw it on an episode of human weapon. especailly the "old school" training principles.

yea that human weapon is what sparked this again....i am not sure what i want to try...i want to learn alittle bit about several different things before i make a decision....

i studied Tae Kwon Do for about 4 years. became a 1st degree Black Belt, Instructor Trainee and then the dude wanted to pay me $5 a class after i worked for him for 6 months for free..... i gave him the big and went about my merry way. when i'm in good health and i feel like getting my ass tore up by a 4th degree black belt i'll catch up with him and train for a few hours and then have a non-stop 1 hour sparring session.

i did 2 years of brazilian Ju-Jitsu.. i thought it would be more of an interest cuz i did 4 years of wrestling. it's similar in some ways.

i learned some cool moves. but most are useless to me.
