...I bet if you changed the topic to 'post pics of ur fighter bod lul' this thread would get more attention

I am confident in my abilities in aikido, but not my fighting skills as that isnt what aikido focuses on. I also train under one of only 3 seventh dan black belts so i guess you could say i train under a master rather than buying my belts

aikido isn't a real martial art

Wrestling and boxing are both martial arts

they're combat sports, not martial arts

evans vs henderson anyone?  silva vs weidman is the next one

aikido isn't a real martial art

Anyways, there appears to be a large amount of TKD practitioners on the forums, so I figured I'd ask everyone: what's the toughest kick you've ever pulled off? I've done about two or three decent backside 720's, after about three dozen attempts lol

i pulled off a spinning back kick to the face once during sparring in thai :)

and holy stuff this chris weidman dude's from garden city

I did a 360 heel kick in a tourney a dropped someone like a bag of bricks. Since you still can't vote for multiple options, I've taken twelve years of TKD, Judo, Kempo, and JJ. I prefer a jack-of-all-trades to a master of one martial arts.

damn that's remarkable. what do they teach you in jiujitsu?

[Nymph]

woo, I did BJJ and Judo for about 2 years, was pretty fun

[Aripany]

damn that's remarkable. what do they teach you in jiujitsu?

Since I already had a bit of ground technique from judo, I focused a whole lot more on joint locks, arm and leg bars, and chokes. It was an absolute blast.

[Zloff]

Once my back has fully recovered I plan on focusing more on wrestling and grappling since it's my weak point, should I start by practicing judo?

that lingering pain you get when you're punched or kicked in the teeth real hard </3

zloff wear a mouthpiece ya dumbo
and tbh I'd do BJJ. The throws in Judo, while effective, are hard to pull off. Plus, BJJ is actually derived from a type of Judo, so they'll be inclined to teach you some takedowns but with a huge emphasis on ground positioning, sweeps on the ground, and submissions.
