What martial arts are You in?

[GaijinInvasion]

As for practising, none. But I love to see K-1 on Eurosport ! Its the most amusing fight sport in my opinion..

I'm about to test for my black belt and instructor's certificate in Hap-Kido, a korean martial art. Soon I'll be starting the Isreali martial art called Krav Maga. It should be interesting, it was not adapted from other matial arts, but designed by doctors, physiologists, and kineseologists based only on how the body moves and it's strengths and weaknesses. I've also studied Karate and Judo. eventually I hope to compete in MMA.

I think it counts because it started as a way of war for thailand, there is story of thai fighttter against all of the Burmese fighters... Anyway is was a way of fighting and still is...there's like a big difference between country thai boxing and main stream thai boxing, there's freakin' religious movements to some of the thai boxing...has anyone seen a burmese boxing match...I want to see one...

THat does sound interesting! would you say it is more internal or external as a martial art?

[kokunin]

it definitely is a external art, very direct, very fast...

it's similar to other martial arts with both striking and submition. it's more of a different way of thinking about combat. instead of thinking in terms of particular strikes, throws, and sweeps, it's broken down by distance and direction.
