    What style do you study? I study Taekwondo Taeguk style - I am currently going for my 2nd degree black belt.

    Love martial arts !! and 45 minutes of vigorous Taekwondo burns like 700 calories !

    :D Its great to see that there are other people into martial arts on here!
    I'm an instructor in traditional ju jitsu, attempting my second degree black belt grading in november.
    Also a newbiw to brazillian jiu jitsu.
    Hoping to find a good Mauy thai class, or Kempo class near me to get stuck in there too.
    Martial arts are such good stress relievers..though they very quickly become an obsession lol, with me anyways.

    I'm a 2nd degree black belt in Uechi-ryu kerate, which is an Okinawan style with roots in Kung-fu. I think I'll be testing for third degree next Spring.

    I am nearing my black belt with my academy. We train in Tai chi chuan, Baguazhang, Xingyiquan, and Shaolin. My primary focus

    though is Seven Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu (Qi Xing Tang Lang Quan). I am also a beginner capoeirista. I do plan on taking

    Brazilian Ju Jitsu sometime in the future! I hold a black belt in JuJitsu from my high school days.

    I study American Kenpo here myself! Been at it for some time, hold a third degree brown, testing for 2nd degree in a few months if things continue as they have been.

    I also studied Danzan-Ryu Ju-jitsu when I was younger.

    I use to study Tae Kwon Do but had to move away for work and when i got back the dojang had closed down and moved 40 miles away and i can't afford the gas :(

    was also in Haidong Gumdo for a little while but the instructor was such a self righteous prick i stopped going.

    I'm currently doing Brazilian Juijitsu. I dabble in Muay Thai and boxing. I also have my brown belt in Judo. I'm training pretty regularly in jujitsu, and I'd like to become active in Judo again-so I can compete for my black belt :)

    I am also studying Shaolin Kung Fu! I am currently a green belt but having to retrain after I quit for a year. I'm glad to be doing it again and this time keeping track of when and how often I practice through MFP! Not only is Shaolin COOL, if I practice an HR a day I can eat a lot more lol!

    I just recently found out , I might not be able to continue in Taekwondo , due to my knees... which is breaking my heart. Taekwondo is a lot of kicking and jumping.

    I was suppose to test in July for my second degree black belt.. but I have postponed it till my knees get better.

    Can anyone recommend a martial arts, that does not have negative repercussions on the knees ? Martial Arts is probably one of the most important things in my life, besides my children and husband.. I'm very sad to think I might not be able to continue it at all..


    :(
