Used to "study" kickboxing years ago. Excellent way to keep fit,and great excuse to kick your mates heads in(in a nice way),then go to the pub afterwards.

Did Lau Gar Kungfu for about 18 months before I went to Uni, quite a few years back......very "relaxed" syllabus, as the instructor (who was runner-up in the UK Championships for quite a few years running - he's retired now) mixed in syllabus-work and "useful" self-defence tactics/moves.

not when i can be arsed babe, more like when you dont distract me!

Do Shotokan Karate at the moment, have studied a little Wing Chun which i intend to start sudying again after christmas.

Depends what you want to achieve as to what the best Art for you is.

Wado-Ryu....Taekwondo....Ninjitsu....Numchukku (old days)

Tried Shotokan but to hard for me,Wing Chun to fancy for me.

I got furthest in Wado-Ryu (Brown Belt)..suited me well..now i am a couch potato..ROFL.

BUT am making a comeback
