    Hey,

    I just signed up to Sepoy Karate today, and I pretty much liked it.

    I'm joining boxing this friday, and looking at a Shaolin Kung Fu class to attend once a week or so.

    Unlucky for me, I couldn't do Judo, as it's at the same time as my Karate, but I might take it up at a later datet.

    Do any other members do a martial art?

    Your lucky. I don't think there are any cheap or decent Muay Thai clubs in my area.

    I want to do it, but I can't.

    Found some shaolin kung fu classes, but I think they were both fakes.

    Shaolin Kung Fu is GOOD! You should check muay thai too. Another deadly martial art.

    There are no decent Kung fu places in my area i'm afraid.

    I've seen the videos, but the places I went to were daft.

    Edit: Realm, I don't think there is a belt system for kung fu. I'm not 100% sure, but from what i've read there isn't suppose to be one.

    Kuk Sool is very good, a mix of most martial arts plus 27 weapon forms means that you don't get bored ;)

    I used to do alot of kickboxing back in the days when I had free time.
    Also once did some karate, but it wasn't as cool as kickboxing.
    Now my only sport is the keyword and the puffing the ciggy. :D

    One day I will have time, and the first thing I'm doing is joining some Kickboxing club. :cool:

    I do jujitsu and I stick to it..
    It's super exercise and relaxing too
    Also i would like to say that I don't approve of people who regard martial arts as offensive techniques..
    I mean even if you attend classes that's the first thing you learn.
    It's self defence. I find it very offensive to us who respect these arts

    Kickboxing and ju jitsu here. Try learning some sort of ground fighting art to go along with your stand-up, much more practical. Ju-jitsu and judo are really good ones to shoot for.

    Hey, I was thinking of going ju-jitsu, and I still do.

    What's it like, and what do you do? Also whats the diff with ninjitsu and jujitsu?
