Second on #martialarts! What kind do you practice?

I trained in boxing for almost a year, at the gym 3-4 hours a fay, 3-4 days a week. Unfortunately I am sidelined from physical activity for health reasons, so I'm no longer physically participating. I still love the sport immensely and I'm growing yo love MMA as well, so I try to watch fights whenever I can and I watch a lot of tutorial and breakdown videos on YouTube all the time. You can see a few of the better ones that have caught my eye if you check out the #martialarts tag.

What about you? Do you practice anything?

For four years I did mainly krav maga. On the side, I did Brazilian jujitsu and general groundfighting. Occasionally I did kickboxing (the cardio punch-the-air kind). About six years ago, I stopped and became sedentary, but this year I'm back on the krav maga wagon and I'm planning to pick up muay thai after I move. Feels good!

No kidding, huh? I think we could have some great conversations, as both what you're into and what I'm into cover different aspects of martial arts and self defense. I actually have a real good knife video that I think you'll appreciate. I'll hunt it down and post it in the next few days. I'll be sure to shout you out when I do.

I also have mad respect for Thai Boxers. You'll have to share how that goes for you.
