Hello everyone Was just curious as to how many martial art practitioners are utilizing MFP. I myself have trained eight years in Wado Kai Karate and now have the privilege of training my three children I love what the martial arts have instilled in me, self discipline, confidence, awareness, etc.
So where my ninja and ninjettes at?! lol

Helllooo!!!
I do Shotokan karate, done it for 4-5 years in total and I'm grading soon so trying to get my head round a new kata. I love it0 -
I use MFP0

Must be a real pleasure passing on your knowledge to your children. I do crane kung fu. When I finally have kids, they will learn it whether they like it or not. :laugh:0
-
I watch Kung Fu movies. Does that count?0
-
Started lau gar kung fu 20 years ago and kick boxing before that in my teens.0
-
Cuong nhu, BJJ, and wing chun. I got fat and didn't do it so much. Now I feel better than ever and right back in it.0
-
I'm a karate mom, surely that counts.0

awesome!!! *bows respectfully* pleased to make your acquaintances LOL yeah my kids are learning whether they want to or not hahahaha! washing our gi's now and as soon as they are dry it is time to train! we are working on VERY simple basic techniques (stances, punches, blocks, and kicks) and maybe we will do a few combos I was Sempi when I was training as a brown belt so I have some experience training the lower ranks to brown level, but it has been a while and this is all new for me!0

It's great you're handing it down to your children. Karate has done wonders for my boys in many ways (self esteem, motor skills, self-discipline). My oldest just earned his 6th kyu, blue belt (his dojo uses a 12 kyu belt system) Friday evening. My kids love it, but if they lost interest, I wouldn't force them to stay in.0 -
aweee that is awesome!!!! congrats lil dude!!!0
-
i sent my kids to thai boxing clubs, they lost interest i wouldn't force them because they were hitting rebellious teens and i would rather their hearts were in it.0
-
Perhaps reconsider the "Whether they like it or not approach."0
-
yeah I can SO relate with the uh... getting fat LOL!!!! Its much more difficult doing martial arts when there is extra weight hanging around uuggghhhH!!! LOL In a week I lost two lbs ( just started a week ago training the kids). So I am on the right track!0
-

I started with Shalon Kempo when I was five years old.
I stopped when I joined the Army.
I still work out but, I am not attending classes any more. My instructor passed away and I kind of decided to pick up where he left off.0 -
