I was wondering if anybody else is into Combat Sports, such as various Martial Arts and Fencing.

I currently do 17th Century Italian Rapier and 14th Century Italian Knight training. as well as Longbow practice.

I have previously done:
- French Foil Fencing
- Tae Kwon Do
- Shotokan Karate

I was wondering if anybody else shares my interest in Martial Arts and Fencing

I do rapier and I'm just getting into doing armored combat within the sca as well; so much fun, lol!

My rapier is an angus trim blade I hilted myself and the helmet is one I drastically modded. :)

I find i often do some self-taught kickboxing and a couple other martial arts, i love archery, and have a high amount of interest in learning to fight with a one and a half hand long sword and wanting to learn a whip fighting style of some sort.

I'm a purple belt in karate and have been taking it for six years now. I'd like to start taking jeet kune do along with karate. I'd also like to take a reality based martial art like krav maga or systema.

I want to learn systema too. I did krav for a while and it was very good.

I currently practice Aikido which I have done for 7 years and I also do German longsword. I'm interested in doing sword and shield combat, it looks really fun.

I did karate on & off from 7 till early twenties, & I want to get into something similar now. Options are limited where I live but there is an mma club I'm considering. I heard it's a good idea to do muay thai for a while first, then mma... Anyone know if that's true?
