What MA and rank are you?

Tat2dDom0105

I see there are alot of members in this group (which is great!) but i'm just curious as to what art you practice (unless you take boxing, Muay Thai or kickboxing) and what rank you are.

I'm currently a green belt in Tae Kwon Do, and hope to test for my blue belt at the end of November, along with my son.

Taiho-ryu karate, brown belt. I'm hoping to be ready to test for black before the end of next year.

Yang style Tai Chi, we don't have belts.

I guess my rank would be, "You should be teaching this!" and "Not just any girl." I do teach a beginner's class with my sifu's blessing.

I am proud to say I passed my test for Shodan rank (1st black) in Shotokan on Saturday. Still hard to believe it. The black belt class studies Shorin Ryu, so I'm having to change everything I've learned. It keeps you humble.

Well done coloradorobin!

Well before i got fat..............
I have a 1st degree black belt in TKD, a Green belt in Judo (my school had more then the traditional white to brown), an Orenge belt in Tang So Do, and another Orange belt in American Kenpo. I most recently studied Jiu Jitsu but there was no ranking system. Another non ranking style i trained in was Called Hagannah. This is a mix of three different Israli military styles. I most enjoyed Hagannah.

However if i had it to do all over again i would have stuck with Judo and Jiu Jitsu. Then added boxing as well. This would have resulted in a more rounded self defense capability. In my humble openion anyway.

2nd Dan in ITF Taekwon-Do. Have been eligible to go for 3rd for a few years but I'm more interested in competing. May grade for 3rd next year if I make it to the world champs and do well. I'm also an instructor at my local club so that soaks up 2 training sessions a week.

After teaching for some time i really started to dislike it. I personally feel that it hurt my training. Long term anyway.

Have to agree. I enjoy it, but I don't like being relied upon to be there all the time. Looking to get out if it for a while to focus on my own stuff.
