    Can we have a definition of MA please paddy my man.
    boxing? wrestling? judo? all MA for the purposes of this examination?
    how it makes you feel?

    that's a rather subjective and philosophical question.

    is paddyc behind all the elbows and knees a big thinker? possibly, a romantic?

    Kali (aka Arnis, Eskrima, FMA)

    I do it for the following reasons: 1) It keeps me in tune w/ my roots as I am now living in a foreign land; 2) I always wanted to learn a weapons based system (might as well learn something that originated from my home, right?); and 3) it's a very practical fighting/SD system.

    It's fun & it makes me feel good. :D

    I train thai boxing, i do it to keep fit, to keep me sharp and because i enjoy it.

    I also train Kali (Atienza Kali and Sayoc Kali) i train these arts because of their effectivness in all aspects of actual combat in terms of both techniques and tactics. I train in them because their method of training prepares you for the street better than any other art i've studied, i work the door of pubs and clubs in Galway and have found that their training has helped me more than anything else in protecting myself and others. And last of all i train in them because the instructors and students of both arts are the nicest and most down to earth people you could ever hope to meet and i enjoy it (especially, Sayoc's Panatukan drill).
