Who takes Martial Arts?
- Thread starter X-death
- Start date
I don't know how legit these places are, but maybe 10 years ago when I got into martial arts, I looked in the phone book and saw a couple listings for people that tought shotokan karate. Also my hapkido instuctor (a first degree black belt) referred to shotokan a few times. I beleive it's quite real.

I've taken several forms of martial arts styles over the course of my life, but none I stayed consistent with, meaning I have a litte bit of this and that...
Thus my style is WIN! By any means neccessary, thus I guess that makes me a Street Fighter.

Shotokan is a legitimate form of martial arts, although it looks nothing like Ryu or Ken's fighting styles. Check out Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat: DA for a more accurate version of Shotokan.
Oh, and I used to take Tae Kwan Do. I still remember the basics and some of the intermediate skills. However I'm too lazy (read: out of shape) to really prove it to anybody.

Shotokan is real they just don't throw fireballs.
I took Kempo and Kung Fu for awhile before I started studing martial arts on my own with out much sucess. I'd like to start taking Judo because it's so bad ass.

Took about 6 years of Tae Kwan Do through the end of grade school and into high school , since then I have studied Escrima for about 2 years and done alot of boxing , which I prefer to any martial art { more fun inmo }
These days Iam much more proficient in the ways of Glock and Heckler & Koch though.

I basically know Street Boxing withouht any any gloves just tape. My dad has been teaching me how to box since I was young. So basically getting into a fight with me could be dangerous. Unless you go for my legs then I'll have to think of something else....

I used to do Tae Kwon Do, but these days I usu. let my words do the fightin'.
I use to take full contact Okinawa Goju-Ryu when I was in high school. I was also on the wrestling team at the same time. Made it interesting when we would have full contact sparring on Friday right after wrestling practice. One time during a sparring match I blocked this guys kick by grabing his leg and doing a wrestling take down on him. Took everyone by surprise.
