I am currently training in Tang Soo Do (Think more violent Tae Kwan Do, it's korean karate, also I am currently and orange belt) , Jui-Jitsu, and Judo. I have dabbled in martial arts all my life because my Dad has always been into it, I have been watching ufc since I was born. I have not officially trained in judo and Jui-Jitsu, but my Tang Soo Do instructor and my Dad (they know each other) Know quite a bit about both so I have been learning the basics. I used to do moi thai kickboxking and want to start training in that again. My goal is to start competing in MMA when I start to get better. I try to roll and spar on the mat about once a week

    Love Muay Thai. Though my elbows and knees don't. Or my shins. Or hip bones.

    I did a month of MMA classes a while ago. It was fun, but I developed shoulder problems, and pain in my elbows and wrists.

    Edit: forgot to add, I think everyone should take at least some Jiu Jitsu classes. Just to learn how to fall without breaking things.
