Nah I'm not with any famous teams haha I wish. But I fight at the Men's Light Welterweight division. 147 lbs of pure muscle.

It's been quite a while since I took a martial art. I took Taekwondo when I was in grade 5 up to about 1st year high school, when I stopped (red belt).

Now I'm considering taking some Escrima, Pekiti-Tirsia to be exact.

Isn't Escrima basically whacking the shit outta people with 2 sticks?

I took Tae Kwon Do up to 1st Degree Black, 3rd Level. (10 level tests per degree i think). Anyway I was more greatful for the self-control I learned from Tae Kwon Do, I was a pretty messed up kid.

I was in ninjitsu for eight years, they don't have belts. I was fairly good at it too. I remember when they brought in people who studied other fighting forms and I did pretty good against a lot of them and then they put me up against a Kito master I think it was and he completely kicked my ass.

For all I know, it applies to every weapon out there. They just use two sticks as a standard.

I don't usually raise old topics but I love martial arts too much to pass this one by. I've wrestled for 3 years and did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for about a month. My specialty lies in takedowns. I've been told I got a fast shot so that helps me take the fight to the ground easy. I definitely don't have as much submission (or grappling for that matter) expertise as Man_of_Pie but I can control the stand up game pretty well.

I have some friends who come from different martial arts backgrounds (and yes I do consider boxing a martial art) and we occasionally go against eachother for the helluvit. From my experience traditional martial arts aren't prepared for the fight being taken to the ground at all but like they say it always depends on who the instructor is.
