Who here does/did martial arts?

I've been doing Brazilian Capoeira recently and I'm loving every minute of it. Once I got older the more "conventional" martial arts couldn't really hold my attention so my desire to pursue them waned despite my love of martial arts. Capoeira just gives me this energy that I can't describe.

The particular Capoeira I'm doing is "Capoeira Regional". Its the more Acrobatic version. Its the same one Eddy Gordo from Tekken uses.

Hot shit

My room mate is getting into the capoeira stuff so he can move around more.

Its kind of a wierd fighting style.

I did Tang Soo Do when I was 7 or 8 or 9 for a while. Sadly my Sensei left before I could make Yellow belt. My skills have slowly declined since then. I am but a shadow of my former greatness. I think the only thing I remember is how to block lol.

Yellow? The Gup belt progression in Tang Soo Do is White, Orange, Green, Red.

I was a first gup when I left. Ostensibly I left to focus on highschool. But really it was because next I'd have to do the training for reaching Dan, and the instructor...

Did Shaolin Kung Fu for a couple of months, but the people in the class were dicks, so I quit. I remember how to block and do a roundhouse.

Martial arts are a waste of time around these parts.

People in the city don't fight fair,and they won't hesistate to jump you if they're traveling in groups,either. Fair ones are the thing of the past.

I can hold my own,but if I have to go into hostile territory I'll just take my ghetto American Express along with me.

You can still carry your weapons, but with martial arts, you can punish and humiliate them before you shoot them. It's cool.

I'm starting Muay Thai this week.

I can kick ass without martial arts, but I want to learn how to really fuck somebody up. Just this saturday it was 3 to 1, but they were all talk...if you yell get over here motherfuckers, they will just keep standing there.

But then again, I'm quite beast-like (bodybuilding for over 6 years).

It is friggin awesome. There is so much more to it than most people think. Its like chess the way its played in the circle. If he does this then you must do this. Its so mind bogglingly fun. The techniques used to make your body move are so refined and look so professional when used in a capoeira match

I just came from class and my body feels like I got hit with a galactica phantom however I still wanna do more. Thats how exciting the shit is, you never wanna stop.

Capoeira looks cool,but really,is it all that effective?

And by effective,I mean seriously fucking somebody up.

Some of it is but for the most part No cuz its not the point of capoeira. Its a different kind of martial art. Capoeira is a "game/fight/dance" martial art. HOWEVER, The Takedowns and low ground moves are SICKENING and I wouldn't hesitate to use them in a real match to get somebody on the ground. Then once I got them on the ground I'd go all out brazilian jiu-jitsu on their ass.

Started with Judo when I was 3 years old.

Also studied Taekwon Do, Aikido, Tai Qi Quan and Iaido.

Last thing I trained was Ninjutsu, for about 3-4 years, unfortunately I cannot continue with the training since I work at the exact same time the classes take place.

I tried to get into Pa Kua, but it is not my thing... and I've been looking for some place to learn She Quan.

The only problem with Brazalian Jiu-jitsu is that it works 1 on 1. If your oponents brings in some buddies, its good to know some other stuff :) I was told to go with Brazilian jiu-jitsu/boxing combo.

Interesting.

Sadly,since I'm not all that flexible,I need something more lethal and less dancey.

A fucking-you-up type martial arts would be good.

That would probably work well where you are,but here in America,you wouldn't stand a chance against a more seasoned,well-equipped assailant(s).

Fuck no. Not everything in the military is like that, as a matter of fact Most jobs in the military aren't like that, especially the air force.

I'm an "Aircraft Armament Systems Specialist" Basically i work on/with the weapons systems of Air Force Aircraft. I'm pretty much a Mechanic/technician. No hand to hand combat involved whatsoever.

While I don't study the forms anymore I am still more than proficient and have been a student of the following systems...

Shorin Ryu Karate
White Crane Kung Fu
Akijujutsu

in conjuction with...

Kendo & Kenjitsu

+

my own brand of Close Quarters Combat (CQC) mixed in with all of the above mixed with Street Fighting. Though right now I'm currently breaking down a method known as Target Focus Training (TFT) that is basically a much more lethal version of my CQC "WIN" style. Bascially having intermixed everything I've learned since age 9, and throwing out most what is unneccessary and only focusing on what will be useful in a REAL fight, what I do is something I can't really compete with. :( When I use my stuff someone's either going to the hosptial for a few months or to the morgue. Thank GOD no one's (and I've only ever had to fuck a few guys up in my time) been put 6 feet under. I'd rather WIN a fight in 8 to 16 seconds flat and walk away/drive away from the scene than to have perfect form in one system or another or have worthless belts from competitive martial arts arenas.

But then like my last Sensei and Sifu (white crane) both told me. I'm a Fighter not a "Martial Artist"

Nope, not a pilot either. I'm just a regular average everyday grunt, work dog, dog soldier, peon or whatever you wanna call it. I'm very low on the totem pole, bottom tier. I howeve have to deal with faggot Tom Cruise pilots. Pilots are Officers and I'm Enlisted so I'm below them(salute them and call them sir/ma'am).

They treat us like shit and won't think twice about it either. they get all the glory and the mechanics who fix the jets they go joyriding in get pretty much zero respect from a majority of pilots and civillians who've watched too much Top Gun.

When I tell civillian people I work with Aircraft they automatically say "YOU FLY JETS" and I give them a "no" and they have kinda of let down look on their face. Its pretty shitty but hey, I'm kinda happy with were I am(except for when I have to go to Iraq). The only time people think I'm cool is when I talk to other military people who don't know anything about Aircraft and tell them that I'm a "Weapons Loader" for F-16's they say "WOW your job must be cool" and again I give them a prompt "no"!

so is te life of a Souljah :chimp:

I used to do Wing Chun Kung Fu. It's a theory based martial art. Very practical.

It works on defending an imaginary line running through the center of your body. By doing so you are protecting all your vital organs. The blocks and parries are actual natural reflexes.

Basically once a Wing Chun stylist gets within trapping range they can feel attacks coming, they do this through a training method called "Chi Sao" translated into "Sticking Hands". It also works on the theory of short range power.

I've been meaning to take it back up, but I wouldn't mind doing something a lot more fancy. Wing Chun may be effective, but it doesn't look impressive. I remember seeing old videos of the "Korean Tigers" where they performed all types of fancy Tae Kwon Do shows. You know like a guy rests an apple on his head, then one of the Korean Tiger members jumps up and performs a 540 wheel kick hitting the apple but not even scraping the dude.

Well your image of me isn't exactly accurate. Its more of me Wearing a Du-rag(i'm black) wearing cheap prescription glasses playing Sean Paul in an old ass used car and looking like an "american badboy" to these local girls who think all americans are cool badboys(false) :crying: . Basically talk all the glory out of that Tom Cruise image and you have me.

Did you know that pilots don't have to buy those glasses? Pilots are ISSUED those glasses from the get go. THE AIR FORCE FUCKIN PAYS FOR THEM TO LOOK COOL as if everybody didn't think they were cool in the first place. :oh_no:

NO WAY, thats so cool. 1 serious question how many non-white pilots do you have on ur ship/air base.

I mean black, hispanic, Asian,East Indian even Eskimo compared to white pilots

Lets see out of the 3 squadrons, we have maybe 6 non-white pilots. Thats out of ALOT of pilots. I think we only have maybe less than 5 female pilots as well. LOL one of the non-white pilots looks exactly like Tiger Woods too, I want to punch him sometimes but I can't cuz he's actually one of the cool pilots, he just looks like a dick.

Those jackets are called "Bomber Jackets". Oh yeah, pilots get issued those as well. They have their "coolness" prepaid.

The only cool thing I get issued is a Camouflage gortex hooded jacket. Its cool to wear that shit to Hip hop, Jungle/drum'n'bass and reggae events cuz people wanna know where you got it from. However with my jacket mostly the young kids/teens think you are cool unlike everybody else who adores pilots :crying:

p.s. Air Force doesn't work on Ships/Aircraft Carriers, only the Navy does that. We work on landing strips/flightlines on the ground.

Lastly what are the jackets called that those pilots wear as I want to get one, I got the avaitor glasses.

Preferly with a America flag and United states airforce on it the jacket.

Also are those female pilots hot, I mean would you let one of them ride ur F-15, hang on ur black, I mean ur 747
