Anyone here take part in martial arts??

[Ian]

Ive just started taekwondo.. And loving it.. :razz:

 

[jayp1983]

ive done muay thai, thai boxing to people. i did fight a few times and won the fights that i had by ko's in the 1st rounds.
tae kwon do is and art that i would love to practise but i dont have the flexability for it, i'm wanting to get back into martial arts but it's hard when you stop then try to get going again so KEEP IT GOING!!! it my only advice. i worked with a guy who had olympic trails for australia in tae kwon do but to look at him you wouldnt think that he was deadly. showo.. showo.. showo..

Thats the best way to be some times, if you look like you can fight, people normally want to have a go.

My seven year old daughter at her fisrt tournament in February.....

She's currently preparing for her green belt grading, which is in July


I did TKD when I was younger, got to green belt myself but then gave up 'cos I prefered driving round in my Sporty Corty (1.6 Cortina Crusader ) :roll:

Also did Judo for a while when I was a kiddie. Enjoyed that. Think I've definately got more of a judo build myself too notsure.gif

 

[Ian]

Good stuff!!!!!!!

Wish her luck from me!! Ive got mine this monday coming up 1st grading :?

I didnt do judo for long.. But much prefer taekwondo..
