Anyone else into martial arts?

Hi!

Currently learning Praying Mantis Kung Fu

I wish that I was in better shape so I could take the course. I go four nights a week to watch my 8 year old grandaughter.She is a blue belt in TaeKwonDo.[hand and foot Karate] Tonight she goes for her next test to move to the rank of blue senior. I guess you can tell I am one proud nana.

myself no but my husband is an instructor and loves it

I am a Tai Chi instructor.

I study choy lay fut kung fu. It's great.

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'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!

Yep! I do taekwondo

In my past life (you know, my 20's) I was a full contact fighter and fight trainer for 3 years. I loved it! Fighter workouts are some of the toughest because it requires strength, cardio endurance, and balance - so you always get a good workout.

I don't fight anymore (too old and fragile) but I do mix in some bag work and shadow boxing for light cardio work and balance. Under the right guidance fight training / martial arts is a great way to cross train and burn a ton of calories.

I have been doing Rhee Tae Kwon Do for about 9 months.
I watched my kids doing it for a bout a year and decided one day that I should give it a go. I am currently a yellow belt green tip. My boys are blue belt brown tip. My husband is a blackbelt and training to be an instructor,

I really find it very helpful in releiving stress, it also is a great work out for me. I train twice a week for an hour,

I take Kajukenbo with my husband, who has been doing it for years and my son (6) is on his second year.

Has anyone else tried Warrior X-Fit? http://warriorxfit.com/

It's "based on the workout regimens of Top Martial Artists", according to their site. Best thing of all -- it's completely free (though you'll need a resistance band for some exercises).

I first heard about it through my gym and I got hooked! It's based on Tabatas, except this is 6 rounds of 6, not 8. 20 minutes of PAIN!! Some of the exercises might look "easy", but anything done for 20 seconds at max intensity is a killer. They offer modifications for those who need them, so don't worry about not being able to do military pushups, etc.

I've been doing it three times a week for three months now at my gym, and I'm STILL sore. The pain never goes away! They've designed a different set of exercises for every day of the month, so it's always something different.

I train in HaganaH and Krav Maga, which are Israeli fighting systems.

Everyone here who trains should join the MFP Group "Martial Arts and Sports Fighting": http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/301-martial-arts-and-sport-fighting
