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.
