What have you studied?

[Serrada]

Still 'rasslin?

Well, I'm handing out at the BJJ school twice weekly for some good old sparing. My main focus is teaching FMA and focusing on the concepts that apply from Wing CHung to the FMA, thought. I do the BJJ for exersize and to work on the ground applications I've learned from FMA Dumog. BJJ since Sept 2001 wont forget that date.

In more-or-less chronological order (oder?)

-American Kenpo, Yang Taijiquan, Aikido, Arnis de Mano, BJJ, JKDC (Vu`s side), Pencak Silat Mande Muda, Balintawak Arnis/Eskrima, Shito Ryu Karate, Bujinkan Ninpo Taijutsu, Cho Ga Wing Chun, MT, Hapkido (Flying Eagle Bong).

I`m currently training in BJJ. Some of the above I trained for one month or less, I spent the most time in Kenpo, JKDC, and Wing Chun.

stories but i want an opinion from someone that has actually studied it
longer than a month.

Hi, first post here!

I've studied Arjuken Karate for approx. 5 years. It encompasses Arnis, Judo, Kendo and Karate (hence the acronym name!) but my instructor also throws in grappling, kickboxing and JKD to keep things interesting.

The training sessions are mainly split over the course of the month - i.e. This is the "traditional" side - forms, kata, sparring...and now we'll do the useful stuff (from a street point of view) - full-contact fighting with takedowns, locks, kicks, punches and so on...

Regards,

Todd

I like to think so, but I have little experience of other forms of martial arts so I couldn't really say. We regularly compete in the National All Styles competitions (which, admittedly is just point-sparring) but the combination of different styles tends to give an advantage over the others who only practice within one particular format. Or so it seems.

A teeney little bit:
Sambo
Jiujitsu (or however they're spelling it now)

A good bit:
Escrima
Kali
Pekiti Trusa
Tai Chi (chaun and kung)

Primarily:
I usually say on here ninjitsu, but that's not entirely true. It's primarily based on that, but we call it Hoshin shu jitsu ninpo mukei ryu, or hoshin jitsu ryu for short. Basically it's the same, but instead of all the long useless stances, we learned to pull our back foot with us so it doesn't tripped over or mess with our balance. If ya really want me to explain it more, I can, but it takes a while.

I started with Arnis/Kali when I was a youngster in the Philippines. Starting to incorporate Espada Y Daga (live blade) in training.

Basic Hand2Hand in the Corps, Kendo & Iaido (when I was stationed in Okinawa, and trained with the JPs), and the last 2 years are BJJ, Grappling, and MT. And keep up with the training and full-contact sparring.

New poster also. Just started BJJ after about a 10 year break from training. Really enjoying it. Went to United Gracie tournament this weekend, it was fantastic.

Prior to that:
JJJ (a couple of years as a kid, has been very useful in my life).
Shotokan (fortunate to study with Ogasaki Sensei as a teenager, while it's not my favorite style it was an amazing experience to work with a real "old world, old school" sensei - he would kick your legs out into better position if your stance was weak)
Wu Hsin Tao kf
Boxing
Escrima
Fencing (various styles, often not considered an MA but I have found it so)
Archery (also not usually considered an MA, but a big passion of mine - think "longer range weapons")
JKD (Dan Inosanto, but only for a few months)
