Is anyone interested or is currently actively involved in any forms of martial arts or study of weaponry (guns, spears,
swords, etc)?
This can also include the historical or philosophical studies of the forms, styles, and ranges rather than physical
involvement, or rather...any other kinds of involvement associated with martial arts or weaponries.
So what forms do you study?
I am currently doing Karate and am considering doing Wushu as well some time soon.
This can be studied?!
ok...this may actually depend on where in the world you are located. America for example allows the possession of a gun for citizens (or at least it is very common for Americans to own one without question)
so i guess you might need to consider where you are as well for this question thread post.
tehehehe...I'm not that good with martial arts ^_^'
but I'm currently taking up arnis for my PE at school :)

I took up Taekwondo for a year but stopped due to hectic schedules. I'm interested in learning Kendo but the dojos are scattered in Manila only. I'm from the Philippines, BTW.
The marcial art are interesting and i like practice someday marcial arts :)
I did muay thai for some time and I'm also into guns and knives. I'm not a gangster though, I do it mostly for fun.
Weep as much as you want and feel the hands of despair groping for your soul for nothing can ease the pain of losing your beloved like the gentle thrust of my pen. *poke*

I've been doing somewhat of a mixed martial arts for the past two years now. (and when I say MMA I don't mean like the stuff you see in the UFC...) For the most part it's Taekwondo. Like our hand/foot techniques along with our forms/kata are traditional Taekwondo forms starting from Chon-Ji at white belt up to well currently Yul-Gok which is the purple belt form (where I'm currently at) But we're also required to learn weapon forms/kata along with techniques. The weapon based things we learn come from Okinawan Karate such as the nunchaku, sai, kama and hard staff along with Kung Fu such as the soft staff (brown belt) and the broad/straight sword (2nd Dan Black Belt).
I do tai chi that's about it for me...but I have often wanted to take up kendo...sadly I can't seem to find anyone in my area that teaches it...I do study it via research from the constant researching I do...but in truth I can't do it now I but I if I could I would probably take up karate

>.< Ahem~ now it's my time to explain the most general knowledge on Chinese martial art (aka Wushu).
Chinese martial arts divided into four category:
1) Chang-Quan (Long Fist Pattern)
2) Nan-Quan (Northern Fist Pattern)
3) TaiJi-Quan (TaiChi)
4) Traditional Patterns (such as the Praying Mantis, Eagle Claw, and sorts of antique weapons...)
Basically, I'm practising the Nan-Quan, which requires strength and stability.
While Chang-Quan requires agility and flexibility; TaiJi-Quan requires softness and patient.
As for the traditional pattern, one who can practise them is the elite one who is chosen from the coach.
However, that's not the end of it.
After finish practising the fist of each pattern, each pattern has it branch-out weapon style.
1 = Chang-Quan : Jian-Shu (sword) & Qiang-Shu (spear) / Dao-shu (broadsword) & Gun-Shu (lite-cudgel)
2 = Nan-Quan : Nan-Dao (heavy-broadsword) & Nan-Gun (thick cudgel)
3 = TaiJi-Quan : TaiJi-Jian (TaiChi sword) / Taichi fan / Taichi spear / Taichi cudgel and so on.
If one who like to know more, one can leave comment in my page :D
Thanks for the thread so that I can express my favourite hobby!

I am praticing archery and would like to pratice kendo but the closest place i can do that is too far away.
I've been taking Aikido for about a year and a half. One of the best things I've done in my life.

It was tons of fun. I remember being thrown around a lod :D

Specifically old style fighting. Anything with a sword and shield. I really want to fight a kendo master though. See which sword style is better.

The kendo master's mostly offensive technique or my mostly defensive technique.

En realidad si .. siempre me he apasionado con ellos .. y ver anime ayuda mas a la aficion
Hola a los que me entiendan .... y a los que no tambien
I practiced karate a while ^^
I am currently learning Wushu and learning a variety of forms from basic to long fist. But the weapons i am learning right now are straight sword and spear.
YEAH!
That's my fav one
I would love to learn martial arts. I have a bad back, so that's out of the question. When I was really little, I remember my dad learning Arnis. If my back wasn't a problem, I'd love to learn that. But, I wouldn't want to go to those classes with a bunch of people. I'd want to be privately taught, like my dad was.
I'm also really into anything Medieval, so I'd also love to learn how to fight with a broadsword/longsword.
