I can hold my own, average build but had enough experiance growing up surrounded by assholes and bullies who expected me to back down. That and practice spars with mates, dont really see the point in martial arts good for the basics maybe but unless you have ever actually taken a real beating you never know how you react in a fight.
I have been doing Jiu Jiustu for 7 months now, and when I was younger I done Tae Kwon Do for over a year I think.
I have never been in a fight, but I think I could handle myself in one. Sure, it's better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it!
Oh, and

This...Gotta love how it is built into our genes after all these years!Shapsters said:
I took Karate when I was younger, but didn't get very far.
But there is a Krav Maga gym not more then a 8 minute drive from my place! I'd like to start taking lessons, not only for self defense, but to get in some degree of shape. But I'll have to wait until my income is higher. Just too many darn bills.

A few drunken encounters, but i wouldn't say i know how to fight. Just sort of swing at the other guy.. and if he goes down then good for you. Knowing how to fight is irrelevant when you come from a town where chavs walk around in gangs of eighty. Knowing how to beat a hasty retreat is by far the better option.
You couldn't have done traditional Kodokan Judo then.Darkblazer said:
Anyway, myself, I've been brought up in a family of martial artists. My oldest sister and my mum have both taught various martial arts for decades.
As for me, I'm a 1st dan (Shodan) in Judo, had a few years training in Iaido, just over a year in Tae Kwon Do and Aikido.
Dabbled in various other forms, but one martial art I despise is Karate. It's awful.
I'd love to learn Kendo, however good Sensei are hard to come by.
I just got into martial arts been doing it for about 4 or 5 months now, and I would say I use a combination of Muay Thai, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and MMA, which really is just taking the first three and techniques from other styles and combining them. I also throw in a bit of boxing.
Have been fortunate enough to have never been in a fight outside the ring/training arena/sparring. I know the things I should and shouldn't do in a fight, but since I don't really have any experience as of yet I don't know how good I actually am.
I alternate between running and weight training. I will also mix sprints in with my runs. I also do Tai Chi and meditation exercises.
