Marital Arts
For starters - this guy is a Legend
Taekwondo Master Demonstration And seconds... any of you people do martial arts? I've been looking around at different local sports trying to find something a bit different and that I would find gratifying, hard work and yet allow me time to relax and forget myself. Currently I'm intrigued by both Taekwondo and Kick Boxing. Down the road they do taster sessions and I'm tempted to pop along and see what they're all about. Never ever done anything like this before. Any thoughts anyone? |

I did Taekwondo when I was at school, really enjoyed it - wish I could still do one now, I fear though that I'm a bit too bulky and lack a lot of flexibility to do it now.

My neighbour is a Taekwondo instructor, He also had the Chinese Master dude staying at his house for about 18 months, Proper Bruce lee dude & I recently heard that he has been upped to a Proffesor now Ma the Chinese dudes dad is Well famous in China & has been honoured by the governement over there. I'll have to chat with him again & get the details as my head memory fails me when it comes to what honour & his family name.
As far as taking it up I would say Go for it as it has kept my neighbour & his Missus in Excellent shape. He was 41 Friday & she is around 46, They Both look Fantastic, not bulky at all just fit, toned & flexible, If that makes sense |

I did Aikido for a long time when I was in secondary school and Uni. That was a great laugh, a little different and everyone can do it any age. When you've seen an 89 year old man around 4ft nothing chucking 4 17st fellas around you know anything is possible
I don't think this is the same fella but it's a good watch.

Ah yes Aikido is something I'm interested in, because with my size it can be a very effective self defense mechanism. For some reason when I'm out with my friends I'm often the one that gets "picked" on :/

Well the beauty is anyone can do it young and old they can get the same result as the beefy people. I really want to get back into it but it's a case of finding the right type. I was taught by a guy called Keith Hayward who runs a variety of clubs around the country. I think your nearest (liked to him) is Cambridge.
