    Hey ... I don't know that I could even say how long. LOL ... I've kind of evolved into it. All total, I have been doing various forms of martial arts for about 26 years. The main style I do now, Kosen Judo, I have been doing for about 15 years. My instructor and I decided to take the gi's off about 7 years ago. LOL ... sorry for rambling!

    I'll be honest it's mainly men.

    I think it's a genetic homo erotic thing.

    Nothing beats rolling on the ground with another smelly sweaty man.

    I called the only place in town to sign up for it. Got told I wouldn't like it since I'm a woman. I said I really thought I would. Got told no. So that was that.

    Sorry to hear that.

    I oh wish there were more women in my class. If they've got that kind of attitude there probably not right for you.

    Keep looking. Ju Jitsu is a good all round martial art. Regardless of what you're told no martial art offers the best of everything. Sometimes it a case of trying a few a picking the one that suits you best.

    What are you looking to get from it?

    Man you've ditched the gi's and gone street good for you.

    I've been doing Kempo for 23 years. There's a lot of judo incorporated into it (along with a lot of dirty fighting) :happy:

    To me, it just looks like a lot of fun. I've been doing tae kwon do for about 10 years, and want to try something totally different.

    It's tough but great fun.

    Yeah, I wouldn't want to go with them even if they let me, with that attitude.

    I was just looking for good fighting, honestly :D That just really appeals to me, but not like boxing. The face is no fun (to me).

    Thanks! Ditching the gi was the best thing I ever did for my training. I had become WAY to reliant on gi-chokes. When we took 'em off, it was a rude awakening. I felt like I was starting over again from scratch! But it wads totally worth it. It forced me to evolve as a martial artist when I had in reality probably been stagnant for way too long.

    I have always been really interested in Kempo ever since I saw the Perfect Weapon! Unfortunately, the area I live is not a martial arts mecca by any stretch of the imagination! LOL

    Have you looked at kick boxing. Good for fighting and great for fitness.

    Ju Jitsu has both with the added fun of bouncing people off the floor (and getting bounced yourself).

    Nothing beats a full speed body drop.

    How many tea shirts did you rip?

    The perfect weapon what a film (great opening - snap I've got the power).

    Our style of Kempo is similar in strike rate but incorporates a lot more judo and grappling.

    The gym I'm checking out has that for free, so I am looking into it. Kicking is what I'm good at, so I wouldn't mind anything that has enough of that. The floor stuff just sounds so fun, though!

    My daughter does, she loves it (jui jitso and mma, that is). Only problem she had is they're not keen to show her some of the moves - I think it's an embarrassment thing as it's all guys. She trying to talk a buddy into going so she can do more.

    ha ha ha ... actually not as many as you would think! That opening scene of the perfect weapon had me hooked! It sounds like I would really like your style. I am really into using striking to get into grappling range. I hate when I see judo guys reaching out to grab when they are so far out of range! We call it the Frankenstein clinch.

    I like that. We rely on the opponent making the first move to bridge the gap.

    Our philosophy is you touch me you're mine.
