Why did you pick up a matial art and wich one?

[kwaker]

Well I started mine (Kyokushin-kai Karate) mostly because I wanted to get in shape and didn't want something as "useless" as lets say football (soccer). And I am pretty happy with my choice because its more than i had expected from it. And helped me in many ways, also my sensei and fellow students rock and there is a great atmosphere in the gym.

So why did you chose ure's?

p.s. if its done before please forgive me and dont flame me to death thank you.

Kickboxing. It's just so much fun. And effective.

Akido-Te. It's so poetic, and looks SO awesomely effortless when done properly.

 

[Mr Fatherland]

Ling-Wood Kung-Fu. Because my step-dad runs it and the fact it's very effective. I've only needed to use it once and it ended the fight pretty quickly.

BJJ. UFC. TLA.

I do kick boxing and free style karate, I love banging and sparring, hitting the pads. I love seeing the other guy limp after checking a good leg kick, Im just competetive, but Im friendly with it and give people their dues when they get the best of me.

I also do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to round out my skill set Ive done it for about 18 months now, I did submission fighting for 18 months before that and moved class because the fees went up. I dont regret it. It took a while to get used to wearing a gi but now when I grapple nogi I feel really fast.

 

[PSYCHOxDRAGON]

ITF Tae-Kwon Do. Started because i was being bullied in school. i really enjoyed it. moved to a new academy and have since started in BJJ, MCS(mixed combat systems, kinda like mma) and competitive kickboxing

Taekwondo.

Because I've always been fascinated by martial arts since I was around 6 or so from seeing them in videogames (most noticeably Eternal Champions) as well as having a massive hard-on for kung-fu movies.
Though I didn't want to do taekwondo originally, it's more convenience since there's a good local class. Had I the choice to pick any martial art, I would have wanted to try the original Kung Fu, the five style Chinese arts. But beggars can't be choosers, especially when it works nicely.
