    I have been working with a boxing coach and just got started in Muay Thai. I have also been continuing in Tai Chi (Sun Style) and my first art, Taekwondo. I somehow find the time to work some Jujutsu in once in a while. I just basically started working out with anyone and everyone this last year. I am enjoying the learning and sharing. I figure the more I expose myself to, the better off I am. I would love to get into some Kali/Escrima.

    Korpy Whatever Works

    Currently practicing Hapkido (though I've been very sick and injured, so I haven't been there in about 2 months)

    Did a little bit of Muay Thai and no gi BJJ.

    Now I'm looking into either Jun Fan JKD, Judo, Shaolin Chuan Fa Kung Fu, Yang Style Taijiquan, Judo, Greco Roman Wrestling, or Submission Wrestling.

    I'm studying Muay Thai and Wing Chun. I also practice other Chinese martial arts occasionally. I don't know whether it counts as a martial art but i'm doing fencing aswell, I haven't been in a while though.

    Nice... don't you find it a bit hard learning them all at once though?
     
  9. Aikido and TaeKwonDo.
    Have always been interested in checking out Krav Maga.
    May look into BJJ when I've got further on in my other MA's.
    Don't really want to confuse matters by having a million MA's.
    Would have thought it would be better to be good at one than not-very-good at many.

    Taoquan - I've never heard of Black Scorpion, is it an independent style or a subset of Shen Tao Tai Chi or a part of another style? I have an odd hobby of cataloging gungfu styles, you see (I was recently embarassed to recognize Baguazhang on my little cousin's Naruto fighting game when he was playing it) and I'm quite curious as this one is completely out of my experience.


    on-topic:
    The only style I am currently consistently practicing is Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

    Black scorpion ground fighting has a lineage to Wu-tang temple.
    based on animal styles:
    Salamander stregthening,
    Tortoise,
    Turtle,
    Venoumous Frog
    Among many others

    It is a ground fighting style that prepares the practitioner for Python grappling and ground fighting.

    It is a unique style of ground fighting as we are taught to fight from, literally, every single fighting posture. We go from standing, to deep squats, deep horse stance, middle horse, crawling on hands and knees, full body rolling etc. In all these stances we are required to do toughening and move flawlessly between them.
    And then we learn applications in all these stances, for example deep squats we actually learn to hop (for movement) while throwing punches and even kicks. We do a move called caterpillar rolls where you roll back and forth along a 15-20' mat building up incredible speed. this way if you are knocked down with multiple opponents surrounding you, you can roll as quick as you can, learning to break ankles, knees etc.
    The most interesing movement I have learned so far is Manta ray, we actually practice with someone putting on a arm bar behind our back and pinning us down face first. We learn to at least be able to get out knees and stregthen the neck and lower body in such a way as to be able to slide and move out of the way taking pressure of the hold. Thus enabling a practitioner, to break the hold. pretty cool stuff.
