Been doing Mugendo Kick Boxing for a few months

I've been studying Jiu-Jitsu since early this year. Traditional style, not BJJ.
Have to say, I love every bit of it, wish I had of taken it up years ago.

It is a Korean martial art utilising joint locks and throws. It's a very visually striking martial art. Go to 2:08 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noWuE3aH5uQ&feature=related for the classic hapkido throw.

Can't say that I study it, but I do do judo.

Charlie3dan · 01-12-2011 12:06PM

Primarily Karate and BJJ as much as possible.

pearsquasher · 02-12-2011 12:47PM

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu aka Ninjutsu for me

Studying since 1989 and with my current teacher 10 years now. Teaching since 2006.

We study unarmed striking, kicking, grappling, throwing, ground, escaping, restraining, sword, stick, knife, chain, projectile, multiples, protection of others, self-defence etc - all one one unified holistic method.

I don't need anything else because I'm still refining the basics of Bujinkan.. which is the key to mastering the system.

hluhk2 · 02-12-2011 05:25PM

judo, muay thai and krav maga

Pride Fighter · 02-12-2011 07:01PM

Black belt in kenpo karate. I've also tried my hand at BJJ and boxing.

-Trek- · 02-12-2011 07:08PM

Wish I had started when I was younger, but learning Judo. I suck at throwing, at being thrown, but know how to break fall so its all good.

Unpossible · 02-12-2011 07:13PM

HanMooDo would be my primary martial art, since october I have been training in Judo as well to help my throwing and ground work in HanMooDo and beause Judo is fun

Do you think there is a combinations or martial arts that would see you successful in M.M.A? Apart from the obvious is there dieing arts that would serve well. E.g Wing zhun and karate

Just getting back to some tai chi chuan, after a bit of a break. Have done some shuai jiao, san shou and a couple of years of wado ryu back in the day. Also going to a boxing class with my daughter, though just for fitness / pad work and the craic.

Just out of interest, where are you studying Jeet Kune Do ? I know of a club up in Skerries, from your username I presume you're closer to the city Centre.

Krav Maga around a year now - I have precious little spare time so suits my lifestyle great and find it enjoyable if a little basic at times.

Niall Keane · 05-12-2011 07:21PM
