  • Hello all

    Hey there everyone.

    Name's Christopher. I'm 19 and I've been doing martial arts since I was 11. Thus far my core art has been Tae Kwon Do. Throughout the past 8 years I've dabbled in various unremembered years of Muay Thai, Shaolin Tiger fist and Tai Chi. Most just to supplement myself in the things that I lack.

    I have a few titles of my own. My greatest achievement was taking 2nd in the state of California in the US Open and the Junior Olympics twice in a row in my class.

    I'm a 5'9", 140lbs tiny asian male. I've got a frame that looks breakable but I use my lithe size to it's advantage: that being just faster than the average person.

    I stopped taking classes about a year ago when my Sabumnim was taking money from me (I was one of the head instructors) and I started beating him in matches.

    I come here in hopes of learning new things and maybe give my naive and young perspective of things. My personal belief is that people should take a fighting style that would suit to their bodies. Such as I don't think I would do well in a grappling art because I am much more potent on my feet moving and striking.

    Anyhoo... hello everyone, I hope I learn much from the lot of you.

    Grappling isn't useless for any size, so long as you keep your skills up to date. Royce Gracie is like 6' and 170. He dominated a 450 lb sumo dude in the last K-1; the moves he did were nothing fancy either, just fundamental BJJ.

    Some asian dudes get pretty big these days. I guess its nutrition + Northe East Asian genetics, but I've worked with some Asian guys who are 5'11"-6'1" range and 190 ish. That's not huge, but its not tiny either.

    Welcome, again!

          Hello all

          Hello to all I have not filled out this part yet so I decided to do so.

          My name is Damion and I signed up a while ago. I am 26 going on 27 I have studied TKD, Judo, and Aikido. I will not say that I am proficient in all of them but I do know how to use them all. One of my goals was to be the best that I could be with my choice in art forms. I started my training in Casper Wyo. Under Mr. Braddock and he is still my teacher. I have interest in Tie Chi and many other forms as well. I would like to know if there is any one who can help me find info. About Tie Chi and other arts I have not study yet. If you would like to write me you can post here or send a message to littelrunningwolfmoon@yahoo.com thank you and have a good day.
