Hey all! I started a martial arts thread in BAIC and I was thinking to myself, I'll bet there's choke people in HIIC who practice or enjoy martial arts too! So why not "Find the right gym/dojo, perfect that one throw you've had trouble with, start learning a new style, discuss recent trends, find your soulmate.... er, scratch that last one " as it was in BAIC?

The Official BAIC martial arts thread: https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...7&page=1&pp=20

 

I'll start this one up too:
My style is Muay Thai, which in my opinion is the strongest striking style around. But more than just that, it's a window into Thai history and culture! From the attire of the fighters to the opening ceremonies of the Wai Kru and Ram Muay, Thailand's rich history and culture come alive every night in stadiums all over Thailand.

Unfortunately, I've been too busy these days to go back to my gym so I've been training independently to just retain what I've learned thus far

 

hmm, i almost turned black belt in kempo karate when i was in the 9th grade...stopped due to drugs.. i dont remember anything but ill still kick some ***...

 

umm nevermind...

 

thats badazz....when do you guys to this? i have a wrestling/submission background, along with the marine corps martial arts (worthless). i still love to throw down and around a little....myron ur mine JK. oh yeah....choku, since you know muy tai, can you teach me some stand up? my ground is decent, but i suck at standup.

 

no problem. i like dancing with taller people.

 

Lol

 

i still train with HMC kickboxing and Nova Uniao jiujitsu...competitions out of da question...shoulder is all **** up beyond repair...held together by bolts n ****...i agree muay thai is the most brutal, but I LOVE IT...as far as ground style is prefer Nova Uniao over Gracie (no offense to any gracie style grapplers) more aggresive but of course a down side to over agressivnes...chokudori how long have you been training, im up for doing some training outside of the gym, since my striking has been in development for a few years, im just ****ty as stand...im more of a grappler since im japanese (height advantage is non exsistant)...us asians are lower to the ground=better grapplers

submissions INC baby!

 

can any of you help with my standup though?

 

pm me your number....im not big on striking but i do have a decent background in it, mayb have n iclub fight club lol...nah but i dont mind doin somethin on the side, rather than pay to have gym time

 

been out of practice for a while, but trained w/ a 80 y/o filipino man who taught me his style, then he passed away leaving me and his two other students without instruction. took hap ki do for a while, but sensei was korean, and i didn't understand him, so the language barrier. if i had free time i'd love to meet up and train with some of yall.

 

yeah im down...i live and work in aiea and i work nights, so any daytime and some nights is good for me...real flexible.

 

I've been doing MT for a few years. pretty fun .

 

WRXed has been talking about sparing with me and wanting to kick my ***.

I told him I'd go take some jiu jitsu with him and get pwned. It's all good though as I'm sure it's a hell of a workout.

Only problem is that I'm all big and not very flexible now so I will get all messed up by anyone with decent grappling skills...god damn man boobies!

 

...to the ***** since I've mastered the art of Tae Kwon Ghey.
