What MA and rank are you?

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.

I'm currently training in BJJ (Gi and No Gi) and Muay Thai.

I just started at the beginning of December, so I am a white belt in BJJ and I guess you could say I am the equivalent of a white belt in MT (although my gym doesn't really do ranks in MT)

Brown belt 3rd degree in Tessen Ryu Taojitsu, level 3 at the Muay Thai Academy International

I am a purple belt in BJJ. I took up judo last year and have my yellow belt.

I used to train more MMA, including muay thai training for four years. I also wrestled in school for 6 years.

Happy to meet other people involved in martial arts and looking to improve their fitness. Currently training about 10 hours/week.

I was nearly 300lbs and smoked when I started BJJ. Haven't smoked in 5.5 years. I have gotten as low as 218. Currently 230. Initial goal is 209, possibly with an eye to getting below 200 for competition (one last hurrah at competing as I am turning 38 this year!)

Hi, I'm new to the group and thought maybe I'd post here first. I earned my second degree last year from my club which is based on Gojo Ryu but mainly freestyle. This was from United Family Martial Arts in Hamilton under Trevor Nash. I've never been competitive, but many from the club were and still are. Trevor Nash, Casey Marks-Nash, Chelsey Nash, etc.

I moved away from Hamilton a couple years ago and trained at a United Brantford club but it wasn't the same. I changed clubs last year to focus more on muay thai and I'm also now a proud white belt in BJJ as well. I'm happy and learning again.....

Blue belt in BJJ, have trained under two Renzo Gracie black belts. Also have a year of muay Thai but I never fought, just trained and sparred. Wrestled for 10 years as well.

Testing for blue belt in a week or two in WTF TKD. Also recently started Aikido, but I haven't done a Kyu test as of yet.

Additionally, I was a brown-black belt in Kuk Sool under the Kuk Sool Won organization, but I stopped that in, I think, 1998 or so, and haven't touched it since.
