Actually I just remembered there was a Kyokushin school but it’s like an hour away. And I went to the Sabaki Challenge/Classic this past february that’s held in the Washington, D.C. area. IDK what it was about the event but it made me feel all spiritual inside. :lol:
I might get back into Taekwondo. Shit was starting to kill my knees with all that jumping we was doing in class.
Happo Taijutsu for me. 
My dojo is under Shoto Tanemura; who trained with Hatsumi Masaaki.

No this:

Okay!
I am 6 months into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and love it.
Currently in my 3rd year in EBMAS. SG7 Wing Chun and SG4 Escrima.
black belt in tae kwon do, did wrestling from junior high until high school, boxing, and I’ve been doing NoGi Jits for about a year+.
TKD was different because we focused on fighting simulations, since my instructors were cops. We did grappling, takedowns, and chokes lol. along with spinny kicks. Roundhouse kicks, axe kicks, and side kicks. More dudes need to do back kicks and side kicks in MMA.
Hardest was wrestling. Wrestling is a martial art. So much discipline involved in that.
Nogi has been really fun though. Like grappling, doing subs, defending, scrambling. It’s awesome.
I just like knowing i have the ability to defend myself and take people down, that’s what i like. But shit so many pussy ass martial artist out there. Black dudes who do kung fu are hilaribad
Shotokan Karate, awesome dojo, awesome Sensei, whatever happened, he changed the atmosphere of the dojo from a real martial art place to a fucking buisness.
Money was more important to him after a while. Haven’t trained in over 3 years. A few months from first degree black belt too.
Weirdest martial arts i learned was Arnis, stick fighting. bruising forearms. It just was lame. I didn’t feel like steve blackman at all
Yo man I did wrestling as well, and out of all the stuff I have trained in, wrestling was the most grueling. My favorite has been Judo, I love the training we do. I think that may explain why I love back days when i hit the gym. All I know is that I am now focusing on gaining overwhelming strength. I miss my old dojo. I went to train with UC’s TKD club and was highly disappointed with the lack of discipline that the students had. but I had mad respect for their workouts, my abs have never hurt so bad.
So I have tried out the Jujitsu club at my school a while back. The instructor advised me to sign me for the class so I’d have more time to practice after the club is over. However, after that one attempt it didn’t seem as interesting. Groundwork and such is not my thing at all. On another note, I don’t know why I’m so fixated on being graceful. I suppose it’s that for my size, I feel I can move very well and I know I’m not a klutz in physical terms. My martial arts professor has told me that I can move very well, though a friend told me I can’t be graceful because I’m too big (I’m very bulky and tall). However, he did say I should invent my own style called, “Hammer Hands”, because it’s my nickname at school whenever we play Ninja. My hands are really huge, and I would swing to psyche them out, so no one wanted to get hit by me (because of that no one wants to play anymore :(). I suppose softer styles such as Aikido and Tai Chi are what lure me, though Kendo involves a lot of precise and elegant movements.
You can be graceful in any martial arts, including Jujitsu. Its all about relaxation. In Judo I had to learn to relax to be more fluid, because it wouldn’t make me so predictable. if you want to become more graceful I would seriously consider ballet. That can really help you gain better control of your body. Also practice balancing exercises, like balancing on a foot then transitioning into another stance with little “shake” (so in other words try yoga). And of course dancing always helps.
Thank you. I haven’t found any dojos for the style, but I have been watching videos.

Election Day special:
I started jiu jitsu this summer. It was so damn fun but then the quarter started and midterms week came around…
Have you thought about another style of karate?
You guys with your fancy kicks and punches you are useless against true martial arts :

Wait, is that James ‘Angry Video Game Nerd’ Rolfe using a katana? At about 1:23-1:25 you can hear his signature yell: “A–SSSSSS!!!”
