| Posted 2 months ago Go gu ru, Kickboxing I ended up spending 12 years in kickboxing but had to quit fighting when I got on to KSP. Messing with Crav Magaw now. Pain is weakness leaving the body. Obstacles are what we see when we take our eyes off the goal. |

| Posted 2 months ago I did Marine Corps Martial Arts when I was in the military. They had just started the program before I got out and I was a grey belt. I just recently got back into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Gracie Barra. I'm currently a two stripe white belt working on my third. |

| Posted 2 months ago I'm new to martial arts and currently train in Krav Maga. Technically, Krav is not a "martial art" in that it lacks many of the characteristics of a martial art (adherance to a philosophy, respect and devotion to a master, etc). I would like to look at taking Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at some point to improve my ground game and for the various joint locks, but am quite happy with Krav for now. |

| Posted about 1 month ago Although I have little formal training, I do have a nice long list of martial arts I have studied. Most of them I dont use I studied them for the defensive perspective. I've been doing martial arts since I was 6 years old, I 'am now 38. Most recently I am an instructor in CDT for Victim Protection inc. CDT was developed from PPCT because civillian that were using PPCT were still getting sued (and losing) so we are developing a slightly more passive version, relying on quick defensive tactics for an escape route and/or hold for police arrival. |

| Posted about 1 month ago I've been in the Martial Arts most my life. I hold Black Belts in Kempo and American Jujitsu. Also, I am a certified PMAB Instructor(Prevention and Management of Aggressive Behavior (used in hospitals and corrections settings)),ASP Expandable baton instructor, Kubaton Instructor, Women's Self-defense/Safety Awareness instructor and a former Chief Instructor of my own dojo. I am soon to be a certified CQC and PPCT instructor. I hold ranks in Tae Kwon Do, Sambo, Muay Thai, and Tracy's Kempo, and I've spent the last few years dedicated to Catch wrestling, boxing and Kick Boxing (western). |

| Posted about 1 month ago I did some aikido as a child, although I never had a real hold on it, I really enjoyed it. I also trained in TKD long enough to obtain a brown belt. My newest passion is Krav Maga, I have been training for a little over a year and I really enjoy it. I recently moved and I can't find a school anywhere around me. I guess my future passion will have to be MMA.......If I can find somehwhere to train. |

| Posted about 1 month ago I'm a Nidan in Jujitsu, not Brazilian, just straight self defense Jujitsu. I only got to yellow or orange in Kenpo decades ago, as I spent most of my time getting knocked flat on my butt in that style. I was just too small. My husband still teaches after 50+ years. |

| Posted about 1 month ago I spent a year in Seoul, Korea as a student at an International School, we studied Tae Kwon Doe as part of our gym. I also started straight boxing when I was six, mostly with my father. In my early twenties I had a friend who was a second degree black belt equivalent in a form called Chi Dara, I think I spelled it right, I learned a lot from him as his sparring buddy, more like dummy, this form had a mix of Aikido,Hapkido, and jui jitsu. |

| Posted about 1 month ago I have been in martial arts all my life (since I was 8 years old) and the disciplines that I have trained in are Chinese Kenpo (3rd degree brown belt) Aikido (also 3rd degree brown belt), with about 4 years of training in Jeet Kun Do ( local school in downtown Denver NO BELTS). I love the edge that I have on most situations Mentally and Physically, the confidence and the insight in any given situation is invaluable. My family in the last 6 years also has been in martial arts and it is a great way for us to connect and work out together. |

| Posted about 1 month ago I haven't been able to study anything in quite a while. But back in the day I earned my brown sash in Kung Fu and when I was still with USAF I was scheduled to take my black belt test in Judo but first I went TDY then the instructor went TDY so I never got a chance to take the test. I'm pretty disappointed with the schools available here in my area. Mostly just Tae Kwon Do and while I think that's a great art I want an art that's practical for LE work and last I checked I can't do a jumping spinning back kick with my gun belt on. I'd really like to check into Krav Maga. I've heard some good things about it. |
