i used to to kickboxing but developed schizophrenia due to the high stress environment and abuse by my coaches.
Also i got my septum deviated by the sport so i will not come back.
I still miss the adrenaline rush of sparring though.
>I do TKD
tkd pretty much sucks unless you are a pro
>Taekwondo's pretty based though OP
base how? Not to ever spar for anything more than points?

dude contact your physician, either you or your gym sucks ass
i myself do many things, but mostly muay thai, bjj and mma
Not OP, but based for doing cool looking flashy kicks.
Practical in a street fight?
Probably not, but better than nothing since at least you'll still be in better shape than somebody who doesn't train anything.
If you're looking to be doing self-defense/street fighting, most martial arts aren't really the way to go. Just do boxing.
Trained Karate and Kickboxing. Tried also Aikido
Karate was gay, would love to train if I would have dojo to do kata alone, tho training kata with people or karate sparrings is just gay
Kickboxing was okay cause I'm great kicker, tho I always worry to much that I ll hurt people so I always loosed sparrings when I checked up on people
Aikido is just rolling for retards, not worth it
Also capoeira isn't martial art, it's gay ass brazilian way to cope with lack of culture
I tried boxing and BJJ before landing at a jujutsu club, trained there for about 4.5 years. I was planning on going to my first every competition, trained really hard for 3 months. Then two weeks before the comp, I caught a mild lung infection. It wasn't anything serious and 3 weeks on antibiotics helped, but I wasn't going to be able to compete when I could hardly breathe after a minute of sparring. I was so fucking mad that I quit. It's been 10 years since, I'll be stepping back on the tatami in January. Can't wait.

Why not?
If getting fat and slapping unclothed men is a martial art, consider me the deadliest man alive.
Recently started doing ITF Taekwondo again after ~10 year of abscence, inmediately got to spar with a 4th dan and got my ass whooped into next week. Surprisingly my kicks and flexibility are in surprisingly decent, considering I didn't train in any martial art since then
Since I decided to join again for 3 times a week, how do I incorporate it into my lifting? Currently doing PPL 6 times a week, is lifting and martial arts on the same day feasible, especially if they're pretty much back to back?
How cardio intensive is it? There should be a sizeable gap between cardio and weights otherwise you get the interference effect whereby you get reduced benefit for both compared to the benefits from only doing one.
>how cardio intensive is it
Very, 10min warm-up, 1 hour of pretty much non stop striking, against mats, pads and then sparring, last ~20 minutes are forms
Unfortunately I can't space them out due to work, so I guess I'll have to split them
both
MT has kicks, elbows and knee, also good focus on clinch and other subtle differences
not too hard to incorporate boxing into MT but you need to do certain adjustment when you get into the ring for each
Karate is hit or miss, some just do folk dances, some actually fight.

Muay Thai already includes punches which is everything boxing has, Muay Thai is just much more complete.
There's nothing stopping you from trying it or anything else, if anything the more you wait the more you're gonna kick yourself later for not trying
Shits just pure fun and a great way to do cardio, which is a godsend for me because fuck running or biking
People your age also don't spend their time posting on a tibetan yak milking forum
Stop using age as an excuse and go try shit out also tennis fucking blows
Only very light contact sparring. Obviously you can also get injured during regular striking exercises but the highest risk of injury lies in sparring, so try to minimize it

So you even realize how retarded that sounds
I used to do aikido, instructor was very well aware of the bullshido reputation and made sure to teach it properly. He also had a background in judo and would show us some of that but would stick to aikido. If someone was halfassing a throw or grab he'd lay you out on the mat
Boxing and MT are great, no disagreement there. Do you know how fucking hard it is to actually knock someone out though? Not to mention breaking your knuckles on a motherfucker's skull hurts, and the aftermath looks bad if the police get involved.
Show me a dude who'll jump back up to fight after he's been thrown on his back/head on hard ground. Also easier to get away with. "He just fell over, I dunno."
Bros should I >BJJ 3x/week
Or >Bjj mon >Boxing/mt wed >Wrestling fri
Which would give me more confidence to take on the average joe, considering everything including time? They're the same gym with legit coaches and regular sparring
Oh right, you're a noob, duh. Sorry, I mainly talk martial arts with other practitioners. If you're starting out then yeah, focus on one and then spread out.
Love wrestling and am in the process of trying BJJ, hard to get into because it’s all guard pulling and zero takedowns. Already paying for the classes but idk bros shits kinda gay
I want to get into boxing, but I used to do kendo and my right leg naturally goes forward.
How cringe would it be to train as a southpaw when you're right-handed?

I used to do TKD. It was fucking great for mobility and flexibility but shit as an actual martial art. Kickboxing is where it's at for me.
Will TKD not help me if I went to prison?
I'm a high brown belt btw
trained muay thai for a few years, highly suggest if you find a good gym. fun as shit
went to the training camp hosted by Arjan Chai and had my ass handed to me. money well spent if you live in the northwest or fancy a trip to Oregon
How much were you paying to train Muay Thai?

BJJ is very good
What if I'm straight tho?
Sumo looks like a ton of fun but I don't really think it's a martial art.

Sumo only works in real situation if they're against a dumbass who tries to charge frontally and wrestle them.
Sumo is the antecedent of daito-ryu jujutsu which is the antecedent of judo
Also tkd is a meme
t. 4th dan tkdfag who now does muay thai

muay thai or boxing bros

fixed for you homosexual
What's wrong with TKD, or at least the non olympic variant
Karate is hit or miss, some just do folk dances, some actually fight.
Muay Thai already includes punches which is everything boxing has, Muay Thai is just much more complete.
The best type of karate is Kyokushin or some derivative. Kudo is a good Japanese option too
>sort of want to try karate
>never did any martial arts before
I wish I picked it up as a kid. I guess I'd look like a dork as an adult trying my goofy hand at katas

I'm already 33 years old anon
People my age play tennis and have kids.

also tennis fucking blows
how to stay relatively injury free bros? i dont want to fuck my shoulder then have to not lift for 6months

>Muay Thai already includes punches which is everything boxing has

I do aikido for throws and countering plus wing chun for striking, which makes me pretty much unbeatable in most arenas of combat

Only boxing and muay thai are real, rest is either useless or gay like bjj.
niga

Thats why I just throat punch them, usually does the job

The latter. A diverse skillset is always more helpful in fighting.
Interesting. The coach there said it's best to build a base in one martial art first
Oh right, you're a noob, duh. Sorry, I mainly talk martial arts with other practitioners. If you're starting out then yeah, focus on one and then spread out.
Three posts died because of my mistake.
This was meant for you. Now it's four posts. Fuck me.

How cringe would it be to train as a southpaw when you're right-handed?
Doesn't matter to start. You should get comfortable in both stances though.
Switching stance mid combo or at the same time as a strike is based and kinopilled.
Lomachenko is a right-handed southpaw iirc
my favourite is traditional kazama style
