Martial Arts training

[Blowback]

I was wondering who all has supplemented their firearms training with any kind of martial arts training? Myself, i've trained in several martial arts systems like Muay Thai, Filipino Kali/Escrima, Indonesian Silat and Jeet Kune Do. I prefer the Filipino arts as they are more encompassing and suit me better than anything else.

I did martial arts before my gun training... and before I was in my car wreck and now all fat. HAHA.

LOL. You don't have to be skinny to train. I think it all depends on what you're looking to accomplish. I've worked with disabled people, on crutches and in wheelchairs, and people with different health concerns such as MS and Diabetes. I'm not skinny myself. I've put on quite a few pounds throughout the years myself. If you're interested in "jackie chan" moves, then yeah, it helps to be in shape. If you're looking for simple techniques to immobilize or to get out of a corner, there are systems to address that also.

Yes you can. I am mid 30's and can move the way I did as a youngster. Even after an mcl injury and truck wreck/rollover. Just starting Krav and BJJ after a lifetime of hockey,wrestling and boxing. We don't get older, we get better.

Lol.. no I CAN'T move the way I used to, not by my own volition. There are a few fused bones and other oddities in my body.

Never had any formal self defense training. never had time...always had a sport going on throughout the year while growing up. I can't even remember a summer where I basically did nothing

I took some for 4 years, I cleaned the place and got to go for free. It is called Kempo Not to be confused with Kendo (women beating each other with bambo poles)

No formal defense training except for the Navy and usage of subdueing people with pressure points. I have an extensive background in street fighting though
