Wing Tsun
Style: Wing Tsun
Loc: Randwick
Check this out guys. I did TKD, Yeah, I know, Its Crap. I got so sick off it, I was mainly doing it for fitness. But after less than a year at Wing Tsun, I felt i had a greater chance of defending myself.
Its Also the largest Martial Arts Organisation in the World, Which does add a bit of credabilit [ Actually, I can see you argueing its actually a bad thing].

Hapkido, A korean art, sorta like Taekwondo, but better, all their kicks and more, more hand techniques, self defence, falls, rolls, you name it, we probally do it.
Train in Murwillumbah at the gym/Dojang, with a forth dan, second dan and a frist dan and a class of about thirty.
I've been training just over four years there, and reached the level of blue belt (4th Kup). I probally wont stop going throughout the year, as i really need to get out and do the exercise, plus, if i do stop, I'm liable to lose my solid bod

a.) Wing chun... like a few of you.
b.) City branch
c.) umm since yr 9, so that's 3 years.
I only go once a week- wish i had the time to go more often though. i'd definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of picking up a martial arts. it's practical and works- none of that fancy schmanchy stuff. plus its great fun

so not true. I have great eye hand coordination, and when i sparr i can block/deflect pretty well, but in a real fight its reaaally hard to anticipate punches because of adrenelin and the best you can do is moving your head really, in some cases the best form of defence is offence. time you take deflecting and taking down you will be taken down on the ground and its all over. if you can drop one guy and bounce around so they can't surround you, you have much better chance.
and self defence class adds don't show flykicking??? it shows stuff like a guy walking up to a car with a pipe in his hands about to attack the guy in the car (us) with a family in the back
so... are you saying if you where "qualified" to detail (i'll assume you meant deal) with multiple apponents you would? Also, wtf is "take him down (non-lethal). are we all such elite martial artists that we would have assumed you meant kill the person somehow whilst fighting multiple people???
um you havn't been in a fight before have you

Yeah, I actually do it. Been doing it for about 5-6 months now. It's awesome stuff. And i'd consider doing this if you wanna get fit..and fit fast. You also get heaps flexible too.
Try it out mate
And no, its not break dancing. You could say it's a martial art, just disguised as a dance. There's history behind it...
I have done martial arts for a period of 11 years; courtesy of my Dad; whom of which was once a Navy official, and going to coax me to go back to Korea for conscription service; at the age of 21.
I started in TKD, WTD-section, Oh-Do-Kwan; then shifted to Mi-Soo-Kwan, Ji-Do-Kwan, then the more mainstream Chung-Do-Kwan; then back to Oh-Do-Kwan again... Then finally ITD-section; MUCH better... no more competition-orientated training crap; and I'm not referring to competitions outside the WTD ring.
During the time I went into Ji-Do-Kwan, I attemptedHapkido; and still doing it to this day. I also did a bit of Hanmudo with my cousin in Korea, and tried Judo, but hated it.
Now, I'm starting Yangmian Kungfu; at Campsie; the website can be located here: http://www.yangmian.com.au
I've been graded 1st Dan Black Belt at the Kukkiwon (TKD), and perhaps attempting 2nd Dan later this year... depending on how the hell I'm going to get there...
Going for my 1st Dan in Hapkido, Yellow belt in Judo (pfft, yeah, I know...), Red belt in Hanmudo; and there is no real belt system in Yangmian Kungfu, but I've trained in Yangmian Kungfu for a year; but you'd be surprised with what you can really get out of the training; though it is pretty steep training costs.

Budokai.. in wollongong ..been doin it since lasy yr ish? its probably the most useless form of martial arts if you still count it as that because you cant exactly chop people in half every time you have an altercation but its fun? my sensei is master in heaps of different martial arts and yeah he knowsheaps of stuff and teachs us how to gauge out peoples eyes etc. n now ive heard so many gross stories abt people cuttin their own limbs off ()
