Martial Arts - Have you trained or not?

Hi Anchor, yes Aikido a bit here and there for the last 20 years..

Its purely defensive and quite spiritual in orientation.

My father is an instructor.. so I do training with him and my brothers more often now that I live closer to them.

I recommend it to anyone.

Oh and I am actually beginning a QI GONG course next week!

Though that hardly rates as a martial art- maybe if I send a love energy blast to my adversary and they collapse in an orgasmic puddle of bliss.

Who knows.. if Kunlun Nei Gung is anything to go by.

One of my favorite arts right there. I have had the pleasure of meeting and training with many "famous" martial artists and teachers. While training in several arts. Aikido is one of my personal favorites. I really love the gui.

There is a lot more Jeet Kune Do being taught than most hear about. It is tricky however as many read the Tao and believe they know the art. It really is much more of a philosophy than a style. I prefer to call it the anti-style. It is efficient. A blend of the spirit and the body and the mind in perfect motion. (Not to say others are not, at all)

Thank you for this thread Anchor.. I was curious as well.

In light, of love
