divingduck 0 #2 June 4, 2003 yes. I am currently a second degree black belt in American Freestyle Tae Kwon do. I was an assistant instructor for three years till I went to college. Planning on attending the Nationals in Portland next month for my fourth time in a row. I am now considered an adult by the division ages, so wish me luck! Those women are brutal out there!

ivanrockon 0 #21 June 4, 2003 Practiced for 14 years Kung Fu. Actually was Bak Siulam Pai Kung Fu (Northern Traditional) but we also did a little of Wu Shu Kung Fu (Contemporary Kung Fu). Wu Shu is not for everyone, is extremely demanding physically and mentally. Represented my country (Puerto Rico) lots of time with lots of good results and rankings from the in National and International competitions. Well geanky you know me, you know that sometimes (and still) I do some of that at the DZ. Saludos! (Greetings!) Ivan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pyke 0 #25 June 4, 2003 [little known fact about me] former brown belt in Western Tae Kwon Do[/little known fact about me] Had fun for a while - until I realised that the little 10 year olds that didn't have ligament contraints were getting upgraded faster and given more priveleges because they do jump splits and actually - S-P-L-I-T - their legs!!!! (ouch!!) Had a flatmate through most of college who was a 1st dan in traditional ju-jitsu, but really took to Brazilian ju-jitsu (ground grappling) in a big way! Now he is over in Japan refining his technique in both areas and loving it. I must say - with the fact that ALL fights end up on the ground eventually...Brazilian ju-jitsu is where the fun really is!!! my .02 Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr.
