Are there any fighters on the board?

I thought it'd be interesting to see if anyone else on here is into fighting and martial arts. I've been boxing on and off since I was about 14, but I've taken very long periods away from it so I haven't gotten that far with it. It's still something I enjoy doing and I've been thinking about taking muay thai for a while to learn a new style.

Anyone else like fighting, please share your fighting background and stuff like that.

My Uncle was a golden glover so I used to go to the gym with him when I was real young. I use to train just for the workout but haven't been serious with it. I really want to cus I'm good when I spar with guys there who are trying to make something out of it. Still not sure though.

Would be cool if there was a pro here.

If youve done boxing Id recommend Maui Thai so you can become a more rounded fighter.

I did Muai Thai for a number of years and it is a good sport.

Yeah I'm doing it twice a week now (still do boxing twice a week), so far it's a hell of a lot more fun than boxing. I bet it's gonna get even better when I learn proper technique and stuff.

There were many threads like this here, including those by me :) I love martial arts.
I try to study different martial arts to learn what they are about. I regularry trained Taekwondo, Jiu-jitsu, Aikido, Kickboxing and Shidokan (Muay Thai, BJJ, grappling and Karate)

I know it's better to be good in one than to know some of each but I couldn't commit myself to one style. Each style has it's own nice techniques, strategies and tradition.
For example I like Taekwondo but it lacks many things like grapples and doesn't train upper body much, Jiu-jitsu is great, has interesting tradition, is really universal but the way it's teached is just bad. So I'm more with Jeet Kune Do concept to take everything you like from each style and form your own one but regularry practicing each technique you choose under your master's eye. I also trained Jeet Kune Do, my sifu was one of Bruce Lee's students and it's probably "the one most prefered" style as it's open for you, you can do everything using different ways, you decide which one to choose.
