    What are your dojos' favorite liquors or beers to toss down after training?

    Are there any particular alcoholic drinks particularly associated with your fighting style? :D (Please post your fighting style and the associated beer/liquor.)

    I've already asked the Brazilian style martial artists here about their Cachaça and Xingu's, but I'd be curious about those of us who practice other styles.

    I'm amazed no one has posted up yet. Is this messageboard full of tee-totalers?

    After my classes, the only things I'm thinking about drinking is a load of very very cold water and a protein shake
    Generally, when my clubs go out to the pub, we just drink whatever lager's on tap. We're not picky

    Seems to be Coors lite at the TKD Dojang, Jack and Coke at the Hapkido one.

    We sometimes stay and drink some Oolong afterwards.Whenever we go out for club meals we all drink green tea or something :eek: None of us are drinkers really, our bodies being temples and all that. :p

    My club usually goes with lager or wine to start with. If it gets late, sometimes shots are also involved. We also have a cocktail bar that we sometimes go to. We're a university club, so the social side is almost as important as the training :)

    I've kinda quit drinking. Not religiously, but I mostly just have a coke or tonic water if I'm in the pub.

    I also switched to green tea instead of regular.

    Generally I feel a lot healthier.

    We don't have any specific drink, it's just whatever you feel like drinking. I'm personally a beer man!

    We always go to the pub after training however we usually stick to pepsi and crisps, pepsi because everyones driving (except me) and crisps because normally none of us eat before training because we dont have time.

    we all help take down the training mirrors we used for an hour to practice our forms then Master brings out the party powder, according to grade determines how much you get.

    The dojo I occasionally train at, at Kew, offers a nice gup of tea after training. It tastes great!

    I dont really see the point in training if you are going to go out drinking afterwards? :confused: Usually all I want to do is get home ,eat then sleep.

    Because training's cool and beer's cool so combine the two and you have ultimate rockage!

    There's a small but dedicatd cult of Otter drinkers in our club http://www.otterbrewery.com/ - I wrote to them a couple of years ago and asked if they'd sponsor us in return for advertising them on our club kit (we'd even accept sponsorship in beer form). They never replied though! :woo:

    What Moosey said.

    Also, there's also the benefit of discovering new martial arts styles. Anyone who thinks that the Drunken Style exists purely in Kung Fu hasn't seen some of the Goju Karate guys where I come from :D

    We go for a few drinks on a wednesday after uni training...but i only have a coke or orange juice, if i had a pint id feel like turd in the morning, like id woke up with ghandi's flipflop in my mouth.

    We have drinks if there's a workshop (at the end), open day or near Xmas. Never after training.

    The boys like their Hahn, Heineken, James Squire amber ale etc. But its only a few times a year that we have the time to go out.

    We're all health nuts at JJJ too but my Kendo club is drinks twice a week after training. I haven't made it yet as it gets too late but damn can those guys drink.

    That's made just around the corner from where I used to live! If the guys ever want to organise a trip to Ottery St Mary they should do it for November the 5th, the Tar Barrels event is like nothing else!
