What martial arts do you do?

Kenjutsu, and Yoshinkan-style Aikido, both important to the samurai.

I also know how to knife fight. I learned from my dad, who learned from my granda, who learned from my great-granda, who learned on a riverboat in Mississippi.
 
Alistor, I find your comment about knife fighting incredibly hilarious.

Anyway, I took fencing(foil) once, but quit. Of course, I sucked and was horribly out of shape then.
But I'm starting to get interested in it again, perhaps one day.... But I don't have the reflexes to parry well. I want to try some sort of swordfighting though... Especially french... perhaps sabre?
 
Here's the story behind it.

Apparently, my great-granda worked a boat on the mississippi. He didn't have kids till his mid-forties, i'm assuming, cause my great-granda died at 93, and granda was around 46 years old at that time. Well, since my dad, who was close with great-granda, hadn't seen him before he passed, my granda, decided to teach him to fight with a knife, which became kind of a legacy for our family. My dad taught me, my two brothers and our sister, starting us out with training blades. Once we learned everything he could teach us, which took three years, he bought us each our first knife. Once my son reaches the age of twelve, he'll start his training, as will my daughter.
 
I'm a black belt in Tae Kwon Do as well as Hap Ki Do.....also I started some other martial art that my master actually invented..it is...unpronounceable so.I can't spell it either Dx
 
Nobody but me here does Budokon or Tae-Bo?

Tae-Bo is actually a class at my school, as a sub-category for Per. Fit. Strange, huh? But now that it's nicer outside, we don't train anymore; we just walk around the track *sigh*.

My friend used to take karate, but he quit.

I just go clubbing every chance I can. One night in Liverpool or Manchester is enough to put hair on any man/woman's chest.
Manchester seems pretty nice in the centre during the day :D.

Then again try Rotherham. They can't even get good nightclubs to compensate for the people.
