Well like the question asks, do you like doing martial arts? I personally like it. I study Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Snake Kickboxing. I'm not enrolled in classes anymore but I still like to do it in my free time when I'm excercising. I really feel great just kicking and punching and such, it's such a good stress reliever too haha.

So yeah, how about you guys?

Yes, I love it. I love the release and the confidence it gives - not to mention the whiff of testosterone every time you train. Every guy should do it, in my view.

HELL. YES! Martial arts are a huge part of who I am and mean the world to me. TKD, Muay Thai, Capoeira, Kempo, BJJ + Krav Maga.

I did kung-fu years ago. It was the greatest thing I've ever done. Some blood, lots of sweat and tears. Still value the hard - earned lessons to this day. Saved my neck once in the washroom of a club. I still work on the forms once in a while.

I studied some Kung Fu before and took about 2 years of Tae Kwon Do! When I was around 18-22. Now, not so much anymore, I do still remember certain kicks and punches of how to defend myself though.

Karate and boxing for the most part. I really want to do some weapon training but I need to find a different instructor for that. At least to get me started.

And yes martial arts is an awesome stress reliever.

I never heard of snake kickboxing

Yup. Did Aikido for several years. And the forms replicate somehow in paddling :-)

Hehe, i think it is a bit misleading to describe all these many things under one umbrella. If using this term, i guess the main link is that it is about combat, but I think it is a lot more than that. In the training that I have been a part of, there has been a very strong focus on self awareness, world awareness, peace, community, health and healing... These things must be there to balance the combat oriented techniques, otherwise it is like giving a loaded gun to children.

I have been doing Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu for 2 years (am taking a break from it now). It really takes a long time to be able to use it in any real world situation but I feel much more confident in myself and disciplined. Also, the workout is very intense and will make you strong, and good in bed

I love martial arts. I've mainly studied karate but for these past couple of years, when I have time, I take on grappling.

Lots of people like mess with the small guy but its not all fun and games when the wushu whip chain comes out to play I know it like the back of my hand plus it offers a full line of defence. To attack and defend it a rough to handel.but its woth it later on.
