I've been thinking of taking some Karate classes in my town. I studied Tae Kwon Do when I was in high school but I only became a blue belt I was just curious if anyone here has studied any martial arts and has any opinions? Thanks

I studied Tae Kwon Do when I was in high school but I only became a blue belt I was just curious if anyone here has studied any martial arts and has any opinions? Thanks I studied Hapkido years ago. I only got to the rank of blue belt as well. I've always considered taking classes in other arts down the road but I have never saw anything really good around my area.

I've always wanted to take some form of martial arts but never got the courage to do so, the only things I know are self taught. I can do a straight kick over my head and do a very forceful side kick and on some occasions I can kick myself up from the floor while lying on my back. If I was to take anything it would be grappling cause that is some vicious stuff! ;D

The one class near me offers a weapons class. I may look into that.

I have been taught a good amount of Kenpo and I self taught myself to use a bo staff and I'm pretty good with both a bo staff and a katana. Not that It's anything that can be used to make a career, but It's fun to learn.
I'm also a good self taught boxer. I've actually had people ask me to train them in it, but I turned em down cause I'm not good enough to teach anyone, I think.
I think I might join Brazilian Jujutsu or Russian Martial Arts.

Capoera would be fun to learn but I dont think I have the physique for it.....My first roomate was a Kendo fanatic and had pretty much made his teacher proud...sometimes we would spar and I would basically get my butt handed to me everytime....

I stopped by the school last Tuesday and I think I may take some classes after Christmas. They have classes on Tae Kwon Do (sp?) and Shotokan Karate. I liked the Tae Kwon Do demos but they had no weapons. I use to study Tae Kwon Do years ago so I think I can adjust better when I return. I have a friend who took a class through this school so I'll ask her if I would benefit from this. This school also has a gym too. I use to go to a Gold's gym near my work a few years ago but left after they raised the prices.

i took some tae kwon do in school but my mother took me out due to it possibly making me violent(what is ironic is that when she took me out, i became even more violent, challenging everyone to wrestle me! haha) my instructor told me i was the most determined student he had every seen(i would run toward him and he would throw me and i would just get back up and run toward him again only for him to throw me again...haha) i want to take some karate, ninjutsu and aikido one day when i pay off some bills! smile!

How old were you when you took the class? Thats funny about your mom and how violent you were I have to pay off my car insurance before I can start my class, I hope to start by February. I'm trying to get into better shape before I start the class.
