    My friend taught me Judo. But it's useless because he taught me wrong moves.....
    He was expert at Judo by the way. He taught me the wrong thing on purpose hahaha.

    i want to learn martial arts but i don't how or where to start. maybe aikido to be able to defend myself. at weapons, it was my first time to handle a real gun, and it's a real heavy. i dropped it because i was too scared but i want to learn more of it =P

    i used to be a member of the purple dragon but after all the school work i was getting over a period i stop going training for like a month and never went back.(the real reason i never went back was because of my sensei-he's a really strict guy and like 5 time's my size and i was afraid he would make me spar with him for not telling him i was busy )

    My fighting style would be Silat. Instead of using the "deadliest lock that could kill somebody only by lifting
    one of the finger," I normally just use it to remain stable when I'm fighting.

    I do a martial art known as san shang gong. My teacher basically lives martial arts 24/7. I have a one-to-one class, so we have developed a bond over the 2 years I have been attending. Basically, it's a mixture of all sorts. We have done kung fu, ti-chee (I might have splt that wrong), and and meditation. My best achievement is learning how to do a forward roll though. I learnt that about 4 weeks ago and it feels good. My teacher said that my school should have taught me to do a forward roll.
    For more information, you can visit www.the-marsta.co.uk and try to find anything mentioning aaron.

    i lift weights and box. been boxing since i was 12 so almost 10 years now. boxing conditioning and training is tough. football and weight lifting were a big help for strength training. not sure if anyone is in to that kinda crap, so i wont go into much details, but to me, boxing is just as much a martial art as it is a sport. i fought orthodox, most people in ma gym are south paw. the last guy you wanna get punched by is a good boxer.

    Wow.... so many martial arts enthusiasts here... That's good.

    I like martial arts, or should I say I cant live without it. I've been learning since I was 8 years old (Shan dong gong fu), so I should say it is my martial arts basic. Then at 12 years old I started Aikikai Aikido (until now I'm 31 years old btw), I'm an instructor now in my dojo. However when I was 20 years old I learned another form of martial arts called Takeda ryu. It consists of Aikido (a different style than Aikikai), Ju kempo, Jo do, IAI do, and shuriken jutsu. It's actually more of a war technique, than martial arts. So I've been doing Takeda ryu for 11 years now going 12, and I'm currently the only instructor of Takeda ryu Nakamura ha in Asia and Australia (since the arts is not well spread outside of Japan, unlike Aikikai because Aikikai was popularized by Steven Seagal).

    I did kickboxing as well when I was 21 years old to 22 years old on the side of learning Takeda ryu, while I was living in Melbourne, Australia. Although I didnt have the time to go pro since I got kicked out of the country (VISA issues because I overstayed for 6 months hahaha *was a really bad boy then, not fighting on the streets but because I work too much and illegally :p*). Still training kickboxing now, every Tuesdays and Thursdays evenings, with private instructor.

    I held Aikikai Aikido classes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings.

    And for Takeda Ryu classes are on Thursday nights at 7 pm (advanced class) and Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m.


    If anyone is living in my city (Semarang, Indonesia) and wanted to join our classes and practice together (I need to practice also :D) please contact me through email or add my facebook.

    facebook: same as above. facebook name: DeathRowiith. Please message me if I did not approve your facebook request, since I dont approve strangers easily.
