Rockhard, I will kneebar you until your leg snaps like a cheap toothpick.

I did it for a few years. Nothing too intense(it was an extra class on top of a mix of classes I was already taking at the time), but definitely my favorite martial art.

 

[zany zoroaster]

I've been doing it for a year, working towards being a serious local contender and placing 4th in the beginners' division in competition two weeks ago.

And rockhard - I hate you

Edit: and its the only martial art you can do hung over on a Saturday morning.

I hope that dude gets into a fight with even a semi-decent wrestler.

I study it on my own, about to start San Shou down the street at my buddy's dojo though.

 

[Wiy]

I do Judo but I am looking to get into BJJ

 

[stack paper]

Krav.

 

[Mike]

Krav.

Nice! Krav Maga has been on my list of shit to learn for a long time.

Aikido here. Didn't do it for very long, but long enough to learn that just because someone's a black belt in ______ (fill in the blank) martial art, doesn't mean they stand a chance on the street. The only ones that were actually dangerous were the guys with the mentality for it, but most don't have that.

Had a black belt that was trying to demonstrate why XYZ throw worked. Problem was, the body mechanics didn't add up, and I'm a stubborn asshole. So, as he's trying to throw me, I'm just standing there. Finally, I gave in, dropped to the ground and he smugly says "See, it does work". Fuckin' right, whatever. I'm still a little bitter, should have just stuck to my stubborn guns and stood there like a rock. Really wished that the dojo was more Japanese hardcore. Too many "enthusiasts" and not enough martial artists.

Yeah, makes me a bit grumpy.

A friend of mine just got his black belt about a week ago...

LOL. BJJ does seem pretty gay except for the part where they snap one of your limbs in half.

I currently study under Dale Apollo Cook for the last 5 years and would love to move into Jiu Jitsu. Anyone know of anyone around the Tulsa area that is any good.
