    that is awesome :D my son did Kenpo for a while at his school once a week. But then his teacher decided to kick him out ( not the Sensei his teacher because he did not finish his work packet :( ) So I decided, I have a wealth of knowledge, I will train them at home! So here we are! They are picking up the basic punches, blocks, kicks quite well! we will move into kata in the near future, and have already started learning basic lapel grabs and wrist grab self defense techniques. I am proud of my babies and want to keep them interested. So I try to make the cardio fun ( bear walk, crab walk, duck walk, goofy foot jumping jacks, races, wheel barrel races etc).

    Boxing and bjj here. Really want to get into judo, but I cannot find a school.



    I know Mexican Judo! Judo no if I got a knife.... Judo no If I got a gun... ( JK lol I actually did learn a little grappling and judo, under Hanshisan.) He always taught us that almost all of street fights end up on the ground so it is important to know how to defend yourself on the ground. we would do back to back ground sparing and it was so fun! I miss actually training in a class, I wish I wasn't so broke! lol

    I have practiced since 1974. Shorin-Ryu, Judo, TKD and a few other styles. Taught TKD from about 1980 to 1990. I no longer teach, but I have built a dojo in my home.

    HEMA fighter here - historic European martial arts. Used to do mainly broadsword and viking-rules wrestling, now it's Renaissance fencing and I'm training my horse for jousting. Came 4th at the fencing tournament last weekend - only out of 10, but I was the only woman and the three guys who beat me are all at least two ranks above me... Had to give up longsword because my shoulder wouldn't take it.

    EPIC! DUDE I love watching 70s martial arts movies!!! Remember Bill Superfoot Wallas?! :D I am working on converting my garage into a mini dojo for my children. I want to get good quality matts and some mirrors and a good hanging bag! For now we have the living room, and soon a kick bag ( hand held) lol.

    yeah a little up close and personal hahaha! I would train at my Hanshisan's sons dojo but he does all this MMA/Grappling with these HUGE TALL MOUNTAINS of MEN! I don't feel too comfortable to be honest LMAO!!! ( sort little five foot nothing here lol) besides, I prefer the traditional arts more. But have some grappling knowledge.
