i think i tried "GUNK FU" in my past life, grin but i definitely subscribe to the modern method of using a PAS(Public Address System=Ak-47) grin. it stil the best defense. grin
Re: Are You A Martial Artist? by laidback(m): 10:53am On Apr 12, 2007
HOOUSSSSS! Well i practised funakoshi shotokan karate while i was in school -graduated last year- but i haven't traiined in almost two years now. i was a second brown before i retired and would love to start trainiing as soon as possible in a good Dojo. But i have recently found myself leaning towards aikido, tai chi and other seemingly subtle but very effective forms of the arts. I think people ought to realise that martial arts is far more than blows and kicks really.
Anyway, nice thread. HOOUSS!!

I was trained in Kung Fu and Karate by Mavie and Vitalis of the Karate Association of Nigeria.

I only use the skills for self-defence.

@iice
Really! Sounds interesting, but were do you learn that in Nigeria. The dojos around seem to be solely for Karate and stuff

@Carpenter

Thanks Jet Li! I'm checking out the website.

@Brymore

Did you say 5am in the morning? Whaaaat!!!!
Re: Are You A Martial Artist? by carpenter(m): 11:51am On Apr 16, 2007
I see we are all having fun! I also believe in modern arts too ( Ak-47, semi-automatic pistols, colt and the likes as I had the opportunity of attending a military school)but most martial arts also have weapons learning e.g swords, knives and darts and lots more. What is most important is trying to attain perfection in one's life: that is the 'martial' in the Arts.

I agree that resource people is also an issue, no good dojos around etc. Lets make the best out of what we can get

@topojons
where did you train before you stopped? Ever heard of any guy called 'Ghost'? Stick to your wifey!

@kellorah (i wish i was)
It not difficult and from your profile you reside in Uk; there are lots of good places and a wide choice of arts to choose from. Just don't think much 'bout it, walk into a school.
