A spin-off from the MMA Discussion thread folks, you can find it in my sig if you've not been there...
As many of us from the MMA thread have recently started (or restarted) training in some form of martial arts, BigStu ordered me to start a poll! Just out of curiosity really to see who is training and in what style(s).
Please keep the discussion etc to the MMA thread as this is not intended to branch into 2 discussions. I've started a new thread for the poll rather than add one to the MMA thread simply because we go through new MMA threads every few months and the poll would close with the thread.
Feel free after voting to simply state what level you have trained or competed in each art but as I say, I would prefer to limit the posts here to a simple 1 post explanation of your vote rather than a full blown discussion as that would simply result in the thread being merged into the MMA thread and then as I say, we'd lose the poll in a few months. Feel free to carry the discussion on in the main MMA thread.
I wasn't sure whether to limit the poll to styles that you are currently studying or include those from the past. Many people did Judo or Karate when they were kids. Basically I'd suggest using common sense. I did 2 Karate classes when I was 16 but I'm not going to tick Karate! On the other hand if you were a higly graded belt holder in Karate in your youth but haven't trained in years, feel free to tick it as it is certainly relevant!
I have listed MMA as an option, although MMA by it's definition is a combination of the other styles. However many people are doing a MMA course incorporating all the basic elements of the different styles. I've also listed Muai Thai and Kickboxing separately although many would consider them the same. however I've read that if you're in Thailand and you refer to kickboxing, you're likely to get KO'd as Muai Thai purists hate the "Americanised" term. |
