Why not? I've been beat twice, by my cousin and by the urban ninja. <My cousin is also famous. No glory for me.

Well, all I have is a Green Belt in AFK, but I have been known to throw around a few black belts. We have done mainly Muay Thai, Kempo, Judo, Jujitsou (spelling?), Freestyle Wrestling, Boxing, Normal Kickboxing, Tae Kwon Do, Akido, and a little Kung-Fu. But since my senseis are, for the most part, MMA fighters, we tend to focus more on that stuff. Though we do weapons as well (with katanas being the main weapon along with the bo staff). I must admit though, I have always been more of a grappler/wrestler, due to using my size very well while doing those, and my stamina lasts longer doing those moves then stand-up. I have also been called a "wet mattress" because people have a hard time trying to throw me. That about sums it up.

People who brag about their belts are easily beat.

There's bragging, and then there is stating. Just a slight difference between them.

[freezie]

Blue belt at a local Karate training ground here, in the middle of nowhere in Quebec.

What if you brag about beeing weak? You get beaten still? But isn't that the truth, theoricly speaking?

If I were bragging I would download video footage of me fighting, but my laptop sucks so I won't and I really don't like to brag so I won't.

Fine...

2nd Black Chinese Kenpo

MMA

Aikido

Iaido and Kendo - Sandan

But I still think this means little. However, I AM proud of what I have accomplished.

That's the whole point to tell people of an accomplishment. Not to say I am a black belt I can whip you ass. I've seen black belts get owned by blue belts(Thats the lowest I've seen).

Yellow-belt Ju-jitsu... impressive!

yellow belt in kenpo karate at age 8.

Shudokan/Shoren ryu karate-do~1st degree black belt.
little bit of Shaolin from a seminar.

I recently beat a guy who was a 2nd degree black belt in Muay Thai in a sparring competition.

[FenrisLoki]

Black Belt in Tai Kwon Do - 4 1/2 years
White Belt in Wado-Ryu Karate-Do - 1 year

I study Karate and it's varients not to beat people up or even for self-defense. A shotgun would be much cheaper, easier to learn, and a more effective weapon if all I wanted was to stay safe. Though I just moved and haven't yet found a worthwhile dojo where I am now, I studied martial arts for physical fitness and the satisfaction of successfully training myself, triumphing over my inherent laziness.

[-ShadySoul-]

not into martial arts
and i suck as a wrestler, so i prefer the good old fashion method. Just kicking the crap out of you with my fists, ( or boxing gloves, w/e )

[happy2seeyou]

I was in karate for 5 years, it was Okinowian Shorynryu. I was a purple belt.

[moomaster2000]

Yea, in about the 2nd grade, I did self defense for 1 year. Got to a yellow belt. It was boring as John Kerry.

[DAZMCFC]

i'm a Black belt in Origami, i do a lovely swan.

[btownmeggy]

My college offered four years of Poekoelan, and I should have taken it, because so far as I can find there is not a single Poekoelan instructor anywhere in the metropolitan area I now live in. And it's so cool looking.

I do own a copy of the martial arts video 'Tai Chi for Young People', but I've never actually done it.

[ignotus]

Black socks for five month now.
I really don't even remember their original color any more.

[Koesen]

1st degree black belt in Japanese jiu jitsu, plus several years of abbling in judo, karate, aikido and kobujitsu. I'm now more into RBSD, though, because it works better.

If I've learned anything useful, it's that you shouldn't say you're going to beat up anybody and then try it. You should beat them up first and then announce that you did it.

Well naturally, suprise is the best strategy.

And learn how to use a baseball bat!

[kalishnikov]

Third degree Brown, American Freestyle Karate (corruption of many different styles, similar to MMA). Should have black sometimes in the next year or so.
Active practitioner of Jujitsu (not formal, we meet once a week for instruction from a retired NHB fighter).
Jeet Kune Do (also informal, a good friend teaches it and we get together a few times a week for lessons/sparring with a few from my AFK class).

I practice for discipline as I've got an anger problem which I can't control, thus why I never made it in the military. The actually aspects of physical training and hand-to-hand fighting are just a side-perk.
