[Drac]

Currently studying Chon-Tu-Kwan Hapkido ( Combat Hapkido) along with ATS (Anatomical Targeting Strategies)..

 

[RheaHS]

jujitsu is the only one at the moment, but our style is a modern one. Ishin ryu school.
I don't have the time for anything else, or the money. Some day I may be able to branch out, but I don't feel I need to. Maybe a little bit of BJJ to add to the groundwork.

 

[Keikai]

Just the one, ju jutsu, for the past 38 years. I am always amazed at the number of different arts that people study. I found one complex enough to learn and am still learning. What with many parts to the grades from 2nd kyu to 3rd dan, including weapons, it all took time.

I have tried karate, silat and done some gradings in Aikido after I finished my ju jutsu gradings.

At this moment in time I am currently training in 3 styles plus my main system

Just one - Shotokan.

 

[Mike Melillo]

One, Cuong Nhu. Which means, bits and pieces of seven!

 

[Indie12]

Hybrid System, so 1 art with several methods.

 

[Black Belt Jedi]

My core system is Goju-ryu Karate. I also train in jujutsu, White Crane boxing, and Matayoshi Kobudo as a bonus. I used to train in Koryu Uchinadi (I may go back into training in that system), Iaido and Tai Chi Chuan for a brief time.

 

[Flying Crane]

My core system is Goju-ryu Karate. I also train in jujutsu, White Crane boxing, and Matayoshi Kobudo as a bonus. I used to train in Koryu Uchinadi (I may go back into training in that system), Iaido and Tai Chi Chuan for a brief time.

which method of White Crane boxing are you training in?

 

[Langenschwert]

Three separate arts: Kunst des Fechtens (a medieval German system... swords, daggers, grappling etc.), kenjutsu and battojutsu.

We also train some BJJ in the KdF class to help us understand the grappling principles outlined in the medieval manuals. Besides, armoured combat often ends up on the ground anyway, except with daggers too. Scary stuff if you think about it.

Best regards,

[Black Belt Jedi]

which method of White Crane boxing are you training in?

All methods combined to supplement and understand the roots of Okinawan Goju-ryu.

 

[fitnessguy]

Yep. You are talking sense!!

 

[Flying Crane]

All methods combined to supplement and understand the roots of Okinawan Goju-ryu.

I guess I was really asking if you are training the Fukienese method or the Tibetan method, or some other? But if you are looking at the roots of the Okinawan methods, that suggests to me it is Fukienese. Is this correct?

Correct, Fukien/Fujian white crane, mainly whooping crane that was taught by Ryu Ryu Ko under Pan Yuba. The Goju-ryu lineage goes back to Ryu Ryu Ko.

 

[ModernVisage]

I see that most people on Martial Talk use TKD or some form of Karate. Must be an American thing despite the rise in MMA fighters who are like trained gorillas. Depending on your goals in becoming a martial artist you sacrifice time to devote to your "art". With that said I respect all forms for their specializations and applications but forming a bond which works is its own science. In all I couldn't list the styles I've trained in. There is my humble beginning of a system that used Kung Fu san soo, Muay Thai, Jiu Jutsu (japanese/brazillian), Kadotchnikov, and Krav Maga. There was also a shotokan, tkd, wing chun, capoeira, Kali, Savate, MMA, Sticky/push hands, Thai chi quan, Bag gua(and other traditional eastern forms/styles), Aikido, animal forms, and Hapikido influences from instructors whom I've befriended and acted as connoisseur to. Again, with that said I am not an expert in any specific thing yet I focus on freestyle form and applied self defense.
