Martial arts training thread (boxing, karate, whatever)?

[jilla82]

ive been playing w/ the idea of joining a BJJ gym (there are like 3 within walking distance of me), but I can never muster up the courage to walk in and see whats poppin.

How much time each week do you cats spend at these places?

Tips?

You go to class at least 3 days a week for like 6-7 years. What drove me is the fun.

Brehs I’m kinda interested in this. This prolly sounds unrealistic but I’d like to learn as many styles and traditions as I can. Reading about many of them recently I find them to be both fascinating as well as valuable to personal growth and development. I’m tryna get way more into meditation so this is a great way to do it imo.

Ive already done Boxing training in the past so I’d love to learn different Kung Fu (internal/external) and BJJ styles so I can be better with other aspects of defense. Even Kalari from India looks fascinating given its age and knowledge of pressure points/Ayurvedic medicine. As does Capoeira.

There are Capoeira lessons near my job. Plus I’ve seen some demonstrations and it’s a really fun looking exercise. I’d probably do that moreso for coordination and balance. Plus it’s got a rhythmic kinda therapy to it from how it looks.

How long did it take you to learn those disciplines? I know the shyt I’m picking would take years to master but it’s cool it’s just for meditative and self defense purposes.

Boxing, pops got me into it early
Krav, about 9 years ago (before "everybody"opened a gym)
Muay about 3/4 years ago
Sambo almost 2 months
Imo no such thing as mastering any material art you can always learn something new or work on footwork e.t.c

True, yeah I don’t consider my journey a case of mastery so much as it is a case of practice itself. If I get a hang of how something works within a few years or even a decade that’s cool for me. I plan on continuing it for as long as possible.

For myself, it's learning the different techniques that's for sport and the ones for street
