Who has done or currently practises a martial art?
I recommend it. You learn alot about yourself, your body, and you have to have discipline, fitness, and determination. It's good for your coordination, flexibility, breathing, balance, strength and memory, no matter which style you choose to learn. You make new friends and grow in confidence.
I started many years ago with Tae kwon do, which lead me into stick fighting, kick boxing, and a bit of boxing. After that I really enjoyed Aikido, which I recommend. Now however, I'm considering trying Kendo, as it looks like my decrepid old body could handle it. It also has a slight relationship to Aikido, which I really enjoyed, as they both relate to the japanese sword fighting techniques of the samurai.
I find it all rather fascinating - does anyone else?

I wouldn't mind learning self defence,but that looks brutal.
I dont do any of the martial arts things that were listed, but kendo looks like fun (you obviously get to hit people!). I know a little bit about self defence, as one of my old shools relievers, Mr Danty taught it to us!
I wonder who is going to win the poster comp today! I think i know who!
Martial Arts sounds fun!!!
But I do not do it!!!
Martial Arts is not about strength its about PDS.
(Patience, Discipline and Skill)
But Kendo does sound fun!!!!
Some people use Martial Arts to hurt people.
I don't think thats how you use it!!!
The Unknown in our class has done Jiujutsu.
Taekwondo is a pretty cool sport!!!

I have done Aikido! I remeber flipping one of my friends over in year two because they got on my nerves and I had recently learnt a new trick! I am naughty.
I did Karate for a while it was called GKR(Go-kan-ryu). it takes a lot of time and energy to get it right. but its worth it, you meet heaps of new people and learn lots of cool things. i recommend any martial art. but you have to be devoted and stay with it.
i just got back from karate. my mums friend told us 'bout it. it was really cool and apparently i was better than people who had been doing it for ages=]
bye

good for you.
Hi there. Noticed you're in Hamilton. I really suggest you try out kendo, and stick with it. The teachers at the Hamilton dojo are really good. Starting kendo is one of the best things to have ever happened to me.
