So, yeah. Who takes martial arts, and what kind? Also, what belt are you?
(P.S. I haven't seen a thread like this, so I made one. Sorry if this is a repeat!)

I do have a friend who knows Kung Fu though.
... You're kidding, right?
Huh? What do you mean?
This is your best attempt at a sig?
Uh, yeah... You don't like? I like. I think you're just green with envy.
... You're an idiot.

It looks hard. And you have to wear the face mask, boxing gloves, and other crap. And Dad is all punch, punch, kick, punch, kick, kick. Awesomeness!

No, I meant that Kung-fu is a blanket term. What does he specifically practice?

I'm afraid I'm not sure :s
He told me he knew Kung Fu, he showed me a couple of punches & kicks.
I don't know what he specifically does, he didn't tell me that.

Anyway. I took Capoeira. For two weeks. In summer camp. In 2002. XD
If there were any classes around here, I'd take them. Capoeira = Much love

What's Capoeira?
Brazilian martial art, created by the African slaves to confront their masters.
Evolved over time to become a fighting style/game/dance, that is fought/played with music :3
Wikipedia can probably say it better than I can XD

I was pretty sure the "disguise the martial art as a dance" thing was just an urban legend, but yeah... Capoeira's cool. I tend not to think of it as a martial art much, though. In my head I always just associate it with straight up dancing. Especially since it's pretty give, take, give, take, have fun.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't intentionally disguised as a dance; I'm thinking the fighters never touch each other because the slaves wouldn't want to hurt each other while practicing their moves. But that's my own speculation based on nothing in particular.
I still consider it a martial art, because, well, it is a fighting style. Even if you play recreational Capoeira, if you were stuck in a bad situation and needed to fight, Capoeira moves would be handy to know. But again, that's my own thought.

So the slaves were pussies you mean? Makes sense.
And to be honest, in the few real fights I've been in, I've never actually used anything remotely capoeira. Hell, I've had to bail a friend out of a fight once because he went straight in for a kick. His opponent just spun his footing, caught the leg, flipped my friend, and pummeled the shit out of him. But he also had crappy timing and was an idiot, so I blame that. With well-placed timing and the ability to react, I'm sure it might not have been so pathetic.
... Buuuuut, whatever, next time I'm in a situation where somebody wants to kill me, I'll give capoeira a shot. >__>b
