Started with taekwondo at 17, picked up boxing at 18. Trained with a friend at a school in Muay Thai for a few months when I was 22, did some wrestling for another few months a year later.


I’m actually scouting schools nearby for Brazilian jiu jutsu.

Martial arts have always fascinated me! Growing up, I dabbled in Taekwondo to enhance my agility and discipline—skills that I find invaluable on the tennis court today. While tennis remains my primary passion, the balance and focus I gained from martial arts still play a crucial role in my overall athletic performance. Do you practice any martial arts? How has it influenced your life or other sports you're involved in? 🥋🎾

I did Judo when I was a kid but the trainer was was verbally abusive so I quit. He didn't target me yet but I witnessed the people taking the test for the next belt and he tore them to shreds. But he didn't give us enough tools to prepare for the test. You had to memorize a bunch of different holds and positions with their japanese names and he didn't even give us a piece of paper where they were all written down he just expected you to pick it up. I was like fuck no I'm out of here I'm not dealing with this. Up to that point I actually enjoyed it and I was good at it too but I just didn't like his behavior.

I've done Taekwondo since I was 7, up until I was 16 (until covid hit, which is when I stopped coming to the dojang). I still casually just sometimes go through the motions and exercises to at least be able to pull off some of the self defense moves I've learned.

I practiced jujitsu and kickboxing when I was younger. I’ve recently taken up Thai boxing, which is a great workout. I prefer sparring with guys though because girls are far quicker to use ‘low blows’ and strike below the belt, but overall it’s great for all-round self-defence.

I practiced in a dojo for 11 years that taught a more old school style of blended martial arts. The dojo was local for the area but is now shut down.

I can do things like fall safely on straight up asphalt and kick over my head.

[Yannae]

Capoeira. I started because I liked seeing the street performers and breakdancers as a kid and I wanted to not get tired during physical education class. And then I fell in love with it and now it's my passion.

[MisterWack]

If I were to learn martial arts, maybe I would go with Taekwondo because it seems cool enough.

[kellytheman]

Yes I have a MMA background and that kinda how I became a security officer. Mostly Karate but I know a little jiu-jitsu/Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

[DrPepper12]

Yes. I've studied nuptials, dating and marriage with a major in HS student buffoonery.

[LiamJHayden]

I practice two. Uechi-ryu Karate and BJJ. I see them as complementary.

[Staximus]

I used to do a lot of Karate and Kung Fu, a little judo

[Bilboes]

I've always wanted to learn Muay Thai, but I'm too soft in every sense for such an activity.

[Kelly6]
