Do you practice Martial Arts?

Please share what kind of stuff you train for, the favorite aspects of your style and regime.

If you haven't begun practicing a martial art at this point, or you're inactive right now but are interested in starting, what would you like to be training and learning?

I'd be very interested in learning combat sambo; this is the hardest form to find in the u.s.

Re: Your martial arts?

I practice kung fu and I greatly enjoy the workouts we have. I love learning and practicing moves that flow into each other, learning how to use my weight effectively against an opponent and using their weight against them. I also love training for reflexes, even though I'm nowhere near where I want to be with them.

I like learning how to use a sword too (blocking and attacking), it's something I can't stop thinking about sometimes during the day. Unfortunately we don't practice with weapons enough. I want to buy some wooden swords so my siblings can practice sword fighting with me and I can show them the basics that I've learned so far.

I also like extreme martial arts trickstery and tend to go to a gymnasium for aerobic moves once a week. I'm still working at the Class A moves here: http://www.club540.com/tricktionary

I have my teacher to thank for sharing his interest in all of the above and training with my in them.

nyc city has because of the large russian population. alot of these grappling styles are essentially the same with just a few different tweaks in them. sambo was modified from judo. jiujitsu, submission wrestling or any kind of grappling should get you acquainted with the general art form.

Combat sambo is the closest martial arts to modern mma. It has elements from boxing, kickboxing, judo/ju jitsu and various styles of folk wrestling from the former ussr. Combat sambo is the version taught to military units and special polic forces. The Russian special forces, spetsnaz, learn combat sambo as well as systema.

I don't live in a city with large or even medium sized Russian population so no sambo for me.
