ok so i put this in the box ...becouse it has nothing to do with pot except i do it wile im high.... any one elts here study karate? or any kind of fighting? or am i the only stoner who works out regularly? i'll talk about what i study if anyone is interested...
i don't do martial arts, but i do workout regularly....you ever workout or practice martial arts high?
im the same as TINR i work out daily(cardio shit) and lift every other day i wish i had been brought up under some kind of karate though, it would be sweet to be able to fight like that
yeah i was close to taking kung-fu in high school, but my mom couldn't make the drive across town every day
i took karate in middle school, and for the last two years i was doing brazilian ju jitsu, it was fucking amazing. now i just bar fight haha
sorry it took me awile to get back..i been working out of town... of corse i work out high? i do everything high..... i study kyokushin..... with my two daughters .... and my 3 yr old studys shotokan...till hes old enuff for our class... what kind of workouts do yous do? i do tons of different drills.....getinmg to be in pretty good shape too.... and as for fighting...welll......i love it !!! but im not a bully ...i dont start trubble with anyone...i realy dont like to have to fight if it is not under friendly sercumstances.... but i love to knock out my friends when ever they are willing!! (kyokushin dose not do point fighting ...full contact only ....knockout style)
Kyokushin is something I have heard of. It's supposed to be ace. I run and do a lot of bodyweight exercises. As to martial arts- did TKD for 10 years because it was the only thing near me. Found wing chun kung fu 2 years ago. Been doing it since... the way they teach it is not as a "soft" or internal style but is very much a simple fighting with minimum needed force but force fucking helps a lot style. That said I want to fight properly. So I'm starting Muay Thai and BJJ soon- Vale Tudo!!! I've only done some BJJ with the wing chun guys but FUCK do I LOVE it. Muay thai I did once or twice. Didn't like the mentality back then but now I'm starting to think... fuck it...

I don't do any martial arts myself, but I love the sport, and think that martial artist's are some of the greatest athletes on the planet. I started watching martial arts when I was real young, maybe around 9. My brother did Tang Soo Doo, and got pretty good at it. Worked his way up to a 2nd degree black belt. Now I am fully addicted to UFC and pride fighting
Yeah I was thinking of taking up Quigong to see work with more of the internal aspect but I like the way we do wing chun... I dunno- I guess there is a kind of internal aspect to it but only as far as a Daoist "take the middle road" teaching allows. Heh.
boys, i attended a boxing class in bethnal green, east london for 2 years, thats wot u need, not any of this kung fu bollocks! hehe but serious, yeh i do cardio 4 times a week and lift twice a week, i also have a set diet for my regime, its good to keep a balance between the smoking, and the going out/exercising. this is unrelated but dam funny, watch this while stoned, or not, its still funny. http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp?ID=339
it all realy depends on what you are trying to get out of it ...and what the goals of your school are.... some teachers are more into fighting some more into tredition....some more internal some more external .... i believe our school is well rounded.... creating a better human as well as a fighting animal... there is a spiritual aspect to matial arts which is left behind alot in modern times where we dont like to take the time to find ourselves ...not that many of us have time ...between work and kids and training ...i have very little time but training realy relaxes me....
