Flex Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Any other martial artists around on here? I just passed my Tae Kwon Do Black Stripe grading after several years, now got to aim for my black belt. So chuffed after I had a couple of years out and hard training over the last year has paid off. Sorry for the shameless bragging thread, just wanted to share!! 2 Quote
Panman Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 My Son is a 1st Dan Black Belt in Karate, a first Dan in KungFu and a blackbelt in Kickboxing. His also x2 world forms champion. x4 British points fighting champion and x1 European Champion. Quote
Flex Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Well that's just showing off! You'll have to stay on his good side Quote
AliveBoy Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Well that's just showing off! You'll have to stay on his good side I thought threatening my dad with going into a bad home was a threat, he would only need to flex (haha) his little finger in the direction of Panman to get results Quote
Panman Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 He gets what he wants. Lets just leave it there. This was him in Cyprus ISKA Quote
Flex Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Wheres' you Vid Flex I cant post any of my 'vids' on here as it's a family friendly forum! But if we're talking about tkd vids then, I'm not good enough filming. Quote
AliveBoy Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Someone I work with is a Black belt 4th Dan in Tae Kwon Do? Means nothing to me Edited February 18, 2014 by AliveBoy Quote
GMballistic Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I used to practice Jeet Kune Do although I haven't done it for years now and my younger brother (he's 32) now does kickboxing locally ~ he has won a few competitions which I am proud of him for doing as he's only been at it a year or two & he was never the most out going person when younger. I would say they should teach martial arts in schools (as it's great exercise & builds character/respect) but unfortunately some kids/adults will always use it for the wrong reasons. Quote
Panman Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I agree. Josh teaches around the UK and has travelled the world because of martial arts. He's only 15 and i'm so proud of him. 1 Quote

I agree they should teach it but not with the last part, if it's taught properly then they would know not to use it for anything other than self defence. I think anyone that is going to abuse it would harm someone no matter what they knew anyway. 1 Quote

You should be proud. A lot of kids nowadays are drinking, smoking and just causing trouble locally at 15. Quote

That sounds so wrong, almost like your brother is roaming the local neighbourhood kicking people. Is he going "national" Quote

Voodoo Vix Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Mike was due to do his 4th Dan in Tae Kwon Do in April but due to a ruptured achilies last year he's now hoping to do it in October, although I'm pretty sure he only wants to do it so he can be called Master lol This was a few years ago when he was 1st Dan I think Quote
