Does anyone here practice martial arts? I take Tang Soo Do (think Tae Kwon Do, with more formality/tradition, it's Korean) lessons, and would like to take Kendo, but I don't know where a dojo is and I don't really have time with sports (and its so expensive ><!).

I took Karate for 1 year. didnt really like it. It IS expensive. I found a Kung Fu place near my house and i will start going there. Its stil $$$ but fun.

My crazy little sister is currently doing a crash course in kendo after-hours at some local uni. It looks like fun, but... ;; <--scared of her shinai.
Personally, I avoid physical activity whenever possible. X)

Used to take Teakwando classes...

now i just freestyle.

Same with me freestyle

I do Aikido ^_^

I'm starting to take Shaolin at the temple near my house... it's for free and I've got a cousin and friend going!

free!!!

lucky you

at least Aikido is fairly cheap, but there are building works on at the dojo (which is in a school) so no Aikido for a few weeks

I'm so busy with track and cross country that I hardly have time to go

Uh... it's free yes but it's for three hours straight every Friday night... so it's cold... trust me...
Track and cross country, eh? Heh, heh... I've got a friend who does both... though she finds cross country a bore... ^^;

I like cross counry a little more than track- but I'm injured right now, so I can't really do any sports XO

nah I have never studied Martial Arts, I don't have that kind of money, but kendo classes would be cool

sticking wif old skool street style

ppl wif martial arts education r usually cocky as hell

Meh? I'm not cocky... *pauses* Yea... I'm not... I have two little cousins who think they can beat the crap out of a kung fu black belt... Now, that's cocky...

Used to do wado ryu, now taking classes in tae kwon do for the last 8 years or so. I want to try kung fu

i took three years of tang soo do and two of kickboxing

does tae bo count as martial arts? lol thats what im taking

I've learned Pentjak Silat..

I've been currently taking kendo, a fun martial arts, but hard sometimes too. The way of the sword is cool, but not very helpful in real life situtation.

I agree with that. My friend (who's almost a black belt) thinks that most martial arts need to be 'updated', and aren't practical in real situations. I disagree =P

i've got a black belt in karate. been taking karate for the last 8 years of my life.

I took tae kwon do for a while. and if the legendary art in Shura no toki was real, and accessable, i would deffinately take it. cuz it's freakin crazy

I know Tiger Stance, Dragon Stance, and White Crane of Jujitsu.

i stop cause i keep on moving, but i had lessons in Tai Chi, the chinese martial arts. i want to learn Kendo to become a swordsman to protect my love ones
