Thread: Any martial arts practioners out there?

Just came home from a great karate camp in Denmark. A weekend with Kumite and Kata along with 80 other karate practioners. I've been training Wado Rye with my two daughters for 3 years.

I woundered if any other are training karate?

Wondered...

Not Karate but I started doing MMA for fitness purposes.

Bruno is a karate guy. Black belt if not way more.

Glen is a Karate Guy,I think heavy into it at one time.

It's been a while for karate but 3rd degree in Isshin Ryu and a purple in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

I think Glen & Bruno do other martial arts than Karate ?
Ju Jutsu myself.

Kristian,
change the criteria from Karate to Martial Arts in general & I am sure there is a lot more who practice 1 form or another
I have tried several over the years depending on where I lived/worked & what was available there.
International Tae Kwon Do in WA - 6 months
Rhee Kwon Do in NSW - 5 months,
Calliope Martial Arts “CMA” in Gladstone Qld 2 years until our Sensei Anthony McTigh succumb to the effects of Agent Orange & committed suicide - (CMA was a local small freestyle club with traditional roots in Gōjū Kai, Aikido, Ninjitsu & Jujitsu, Our was one of the Original Gōjū Kai henchmen of Australia with Bob Janes, Malcolm Anderson & Richard Norton prior to the starting of Zen do Kai )
Wing Chun & Maui Thai in Mackay QLD training under Stephan Fox (World Muaythai Council) – 5 months
Zen Chi Ryu which became Zen9 - in Gladstone Qld 18 months this was a small freestyle club with traditional roots in Zen do Kai, Brazilian Jujitsu (BJJ) & Kung Fu - “Shihan” Peter Reilly recently passed away from Cancer so the club was closed.

I have always personally preferred the less traditional freestyle systems, where the shortest or most direct action from a mulitude of styles is used to minimise your exposure to a threat.

I believe all kids should have & benefit from some form of Martial Arts experience to learn the discipline & self-control that come with practicing them.

Am a 6th degree kinda Guy,come at me with your Karate Crap and you wil get a .357 mag between your eyes

Traditional TKD and Hapkido here. Love to hear anything about the camp, or experiences in any art.
