There are quite a few stills of martial arts out there some of my favorite would have to be Jeet Kune Do, the style of the 8 drunken gods, and Kung Fu.

RANDOM MATRIX QUOTE TIME!

"I know Kung Fu."
"Show me."

I like Kung Fu.

Bruce Lee's style is Jeet Kun Do.

I'm a fan of Tae Kwon Do, Capoeira, and Aikido. I like a lot of kicking in matrial arts and TKD relies on that a lot. Capoeira's break dancing look always fascinated me. Also has a lot of kicking. Aikido is interesting because it's so defense oriented, yet deadly.

For me, karate, plain and simple. I've been in it for four years, I'm a brown belt (third kyu) and will be going for another test next month (2nd kyu). But I also like ninjitsu, just learning how to move without making a noise would be cool.

Please use vowels.

And martial artists are influenced by each others' styles just as musical artists and visual artists are.

Does fencing count?

I love Tae Kwon Do. I took it for a year and a half and it was definity the style I loved best because I got to use alot of my flexibility for some of the really high kicks (hee, I can still count in Korean). Ninjitsu, Kung Foo and Jeet Kun Do are fun to watch though

I say karate. I used to do karate, but I gave it up before I even got to yellow belt. Now, I'm kicking myself for it. I wish I hadn't dropped it.

i used to do karate for 4 years but after a while it made me come out of interest of it. but ninjitsu does sounds well kool though, bit like a spy.

I used to do TKD but it wasn't the "real thing" One of those MC Dojos where you get a blackbelt after a couple of years.

If you like Bruce Lee then you would have to like Jackie Chan because he had taken the place of Bruce Lee whe he got killed.

Has anyone here ever slowed down one of bruce lees movies just to see what he does? Man is he fast.

Sailor Wind · Post by **Sailor Wind** » Tue May 18, 2004 6:10 pm

not surprised he is one of the fastest fighters that's why he's so good at acting out his fight moves

I've been doing karate for almost 3 years now and am going for my 6th kyu (blue belt) in a few months.

And Sailor Wind, Bruce Lee was largely inspired by traditional kung fu. In fact, Jeet Kune Do is partly reliant on other arts.

You sure do know your Jeet Kune Do.

Any form of Martial Arts is cool to me. I'd like to just learn any of it, as a way to defend myself.

Same here but I would rather learn Jeet Kune Do, The 8 Drunken Gods, or Ninjistu.
