I was taking Muay Thai last year for a few months, but I rolled my ankle, then life got in the way, so I haven't been back yet. Next summer, when life settles back down again, I plan on rejoining.

MT is quite a cardio workout and the sparring is fun.

Tae Kwon Do for about 18 months. Fun and it keeps me in great shape.

[HAZMAN]

Tae Kwon do for about 4 years, made black belt had to quick after dislocating hip in a car accident.

I took Kajukembo waaaaay back in the day. Boxed and wrestled in HS then transitioned to BJJ. I have taken Muay Tai to learn elbow, knee and kick strike better.

Two kids later and one more on the way I mostly watch it on MMA on TV unless we do something at work.

It was the mid-80s and I was really young, I was 5 and in martial arts- Heck yeah, I liked it. I am not sure what style in it was, it was in Abilene, TX. http://www.kajukembo.com/ is the site but the instructor I had is no longer running it, one of his students is now.

I was able to compete against some of their students in grappling only tournament. Not too bad, all things considered.

I've trained in Muay Thai for 3 years now.

There are a couple of "grappling guys" on my ship that I train with occasionally. One is a jiu-jitsu practitioner and the other trains in Krav Maga.

Unfortunately, got into an accident that herniated discs and out went Karate.

I used to train in martial arts until I knocked myself out with a pair of nun chucks and tore my rotator cuff. You know it's time to quit when you knock your own self out.

Oh crap! I inhaled from laughing.

I did Muay Thai for a year or so. Kept me in great shape and it was awesome to work out all the aggression that comes along with life. Would love to get back but the work schedule's kinda rough now.
