like when you hit black belt you get, 1 dan 2 dan 3 dan, higher versions of the black belt with usually a white stripe for each dan..

yep 1-10 each degree has a diferent colour writing on it and then 6th dan and up has different colors with stripes through 'em

I've studied Shotokan karate, Wing Chun*, Ju-Jutsu, and Tai-Chi.

*Personally instructed by Chia Tan for 5 years, and will continue under her guidance upon her arrival from China in November.

As of today I still practice Wing Chun, Ju-Jitsu, and Tai-Chi.

Right now i use the ak to give me support until i need to learn some kind of fighting style. Or do i really need to.

This coming from a "Ninja"

i study tae kwon do and hapkido. I've also done a little bit of several other kinds such as judo and Aikido.

JKD, BJJ, Filipino (kali, eskrima), Muay thai, and a little bit of some wing chun mixed in there

I'm a 4th Kyu Shotokan karateka. I like the fighting spirit, meticulous attention to technique detail and ,most of all, the Kata. It took a while, but the bug has got me and I'm hooked!

My primary art is San Miguel style Doce Pares (FMA, Eskrima)
Prior to that I studied Wing Chun Kung Fu for a few years

I have done a little in Aikido as well.

wikipedia. jeet kun do


Miyamoto Musashi.

These two individuals basically give you the insight to begin a true admiration of real martial arts.
By adapting what is good to a style of efficiency, the world of martial artists evolves and new techniques are brought to the table day in day out.

A true test of any martial artist is to ask yourself whether or not you are in it for glory or honour.

does marksmanship count as a martial art?

i might not get to jump around a whole lot, but i can damn sure kill somebody.
