Dont encorage him guys.

From reading bjjskn's post it's clear that he is well versed in the arts. Though he studies BJJ technically he's views belts and rank as crap,thats cool. Since he trains in many arts and has shodan rank in at least 2 arts maybe he should consider a a change of name. Perhaps it could be something like" FIGHTERKILLER" or "ARSEKICKER", or "no ego". From reading his post it appears that he has studied 3 or 4 arts.
maybe he could go by "3skn" or even" 4skn".

Umm, the two arts that made the biggest impact on me were shotokan karate and bjj. I had phenominal teachers in those. It was like the two teachers shaped my whole view of the martial arts. Although, it was the teaching that elped to make that huge impact, not the arts themself.

As far as the original topic, I have practiced many styles from Ving Tsun, TKD, Tang Soo Do, Shotokan, and Yoshinkan Aikido. Judo has been my favorite, but due to a neck injury brought on by weightlifting, Judo is currently on hold. It seems whenever my neck feels better, I do Randori and it's back to hurting. In the meantime, I have been Boxing. Boxing is very close to Judo as far as enjoyment and my neck actually feels great after Boxing. Boxing has almost been like PT for my neck. Even after I spar it feels fine. Eventually I plan to go back to Judo regularly, as I still stop by the club to train and do light Randori and Ne Waza.

Did you also have Frank Dux,& Ashida Kim as your teachers? [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif[/IMG]

maybe he was trained by Anetta Shid or the famous chinese master called Hoo phlung dungh

bjjskn, you kind of slag off martial arts and say you have no style, but are an all round fighter, but was it not the training in the martial arts that gave you those skills to be an all round fighter. Having a wide knowledge of arts is not a bad thing. In Okinawa it was encouraged by karate masters for their students to study other karate styles and systems to widen their knowledge. This is one reason why the old Okinawan masters
are something to be reckoned with. And as for belts, well they don't mean much. At the end of the day there was no such thing as belts until the western world got hold of the martial arts and needed some recognition of progress. Just because someone has a black belt, doesn't mean you are a good fighter, and just because you may be a good fighter, does not make you a black belt. As my sensei stresses, the 1st dan shows you have now mastered the basics, only now the real training and understanding begins. I'm not disrespecting you as I agree that you must keep your mind open to other systems and take what is useful, and what works for you as an individual.
