I wrestled the 215 weight class when I was highschool and I've been doing Kung Fu (Shaolin/Eagle Claw) for 6 years. It's such a nice way to released aggression, and you're learning something and getting healthy too.
Do any of you guys do or have done martial arts? Or what styles interest you?
I wish I did martial arts.... be all ninja like would be fun
I'm doing Tai Kwon Do right now at a yellow belt proficiency because it costs money to go up. I'm getting taught brown belt techniques under the radar though by friendly black belters as long as the Grand Master doesn't know about it.
I really want to do Tai Chi; it seems far superior than the rest. Apparently a Tai Chi Grand Master took on a Tai Kwon Do Grand Master and a Karate Grand Master and destroyed them both. The way the body is used is also interesting because everything relies on breathing patterns.
I started martial arts two years ago and I actually like it.
I have done some Ju Jitsu, MMA, and two other things i can't recall the names right now.
Edit: Currently a Brown Belt right now, will move onto becoming a black belt soon.
I stab people on a regular basis. Does that count?
Boxing is better than martial arts, but I enjoy Mr. Miyagi and Bruce Lee as much as the next guy. Martial arts are great, but I could do without all of the jibberish shouting that some places support.
I did tae kwon do for about a year, and got to purple belt. Then the instructors got all pushy about buying $200 pads n' poop, and we were like kthxbai
Kung Fu 3 years, Kenpo like 2 years ish. And Kendo for as long as I can remember.
I do like a Tae Kwon Do/ Karate class that I have been doing for, uh... like 10 years. I have a 2nd degree black belt in it. ^_^
I also did Tai Kwon Do. I did that for a few months, until the instructor decided to up and move his Class to another building Far away.
I was like, "Uhmmm, No...I'll be all right".
I've been doing Tae Kwon Do since I was a fourth grader. I'm taking the first part of a test to get my black belt this Saturday. There's just something about the class that's just so much fun, and I'd hate to give them up. ^^ If I had the money, I would love to take up more Martial Arts and boxing.

Lol I already am, not gonna lie. Not like I'm in middle school, I'm eighteen. Unless you mean older as in 20s and relationship wise. In that case, you'd probably still be right. xD
Wrestling should TOTALLY be a Martial Art. I mean think. You throw people, you lay on them, and you try to choke them out at all times. TOTALLY MARTIAL ART!!!
I don't know anything about Martial Arts but I can punch people.

Well grappling based martial arts like pankration are very similar to wrestling so I assumed it would be one.
Also kung fu doesn't have random shouting, but loud inhales and exhales to whoever said that.
Wasn't Bruce Lee a Kung fu guy? If that isn't random screaming, I don't know what is.
