LOLZ...

I don't think you should be looking for muscle (tone) in a martial art but balance and flexibility can be gained in most of them to some degree... WuShu is good for flexibility and balance i hear... Jiu Jitsu is better for kicking someones ass i think  :grin:

iv heard some good things about jiu jitsu. my friend said he saw a fight go down, and all the guy did was run and jump over him (or so it looked like) and the guy dropped to the ground with a broken collar bone and had to go to the hospital.

I saw a black Jamaican looking guy doing capoeria outside in the summer once. He was going pretty nuts and it was pretty impressive looking. It is definitely more dance than fighting related, however.




yeah that's why i'm more interested in it... i don't want to fight anyone i just want to use my body in cool ways
BTW i was reading about taichi and maybe what i was looking for is infact what's known as chi gong (cong?)
i started doing contact improvisation a month ago and it all ties togather for me... i just need to understand what my body instinctivly already knows so i can manipulate it in cool ways!

it's just a dance for me... another form of exprestion...

i have one semester of tai chi under my belt.

it's pretty neat. the gracefulness and the whole not using force is great, but hard to really grasp.

Tai chi looks pretty sweet from what I've read up on it. I'm seriously considering that as there's really bullshit for martial arts in my town. It's all pussy ass, watered down martial arts.

I was a.... brown belt (Or blue..) in Shitoryu Seiko Kai and I didn't even bother looking it up on the internet or anything after. I was a kid when I started and it was the weakest karate ever, even for karate. Muay Tai looks to be the way to go hopefully.

No, but I really wish I had went ahead and finished my karate when I was younger. I'm sure I'd probably be happier right now. Oh well. Maybe some day.
