I'm interested to find out which Music Banter participants have also studied and still study martial arts in their lives.

I myself studied Judo as a kid (6-11) and tried 8 months of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at age 18.

I'd like to know what you all have studied and your opinions on fighting as a whole.

I prefer martial arts & crafts personally.

i'd like to learn tai chi chuan, which i think more or less sums up my views on fighting.

Thrice

I did karate for a few years when i was younger. I got a pair of nunchuks or nunchaku at a garage sale about ten years ago and started practicing and got pretty decent with one hand. I can now use speed chuks, but im not that good. I dont know any names of moves or if i do it correctly, but i look pretty sweet doing it and its a workout and about as much exercise as i get these days.

SATCHMO

I studied a derivative of Kung Fu called Shaolin Chuan Fa also sometimes referred to as Chinese Kempo.

I have thought often about learning a martial art and not for the aggressive aspect. I greatly admire the philosphy of mind and spirit behind martial arts and when I get back to working I will give it serious consideration.

I was training in Tae-Kwon-Do for 7 years. But after an injury 2 years back I can't now proceed professional career. Now I only sometimes train in Capoeira (not as a martial art, but like fitness).

I've dabbled a little in Soo Bahk Do (Korean). I made it as far as orange belt because it was offered for free at my college last semester. Interesting. I learned a lot about breathing techniques, which I LOVE. As for fighting in general, I'm not much for it, but I will most definitely defend myself.
