I had a dream as a child doing a martial art using the energy of your opponent, somehow i got introduced into aikido by my little sister, doing it for some years. good for balance, using your full weight as advantage, you learn how to fall (very important in everyday non boring life), also getting a basic idea of how to react and use the force someone throws at you fluently. sadly no punches or kicks.
then i stumbled into wt, wingtsun, and i would guess i found what i wanted long time ago, with aikido beeing a very good preparation. you simply train your muscles to react to a force thrown at you by themselves, you learn to watch what your body is doing while he attacks an opponent who decides with his actions how you beat him beeing formed by his energy. fun is an understatement.

Hapkido all the way. I learn from a guy who taught Jackie Chan a ton when he was just getting started:

Looks up Xian Yi (which akido decended from) It is one of the three Chinese internal arts, along with the Tai Chi's and Bagua. Seems like what you are looking for

I'm practicing WingTsun, too. It's real fun but I am missing some physical aspects so I train at home with a sandbag and I randomly tell my gf to hit me in the stomach for 1 minute as hard as she can because if you get in a real fight all your mad techniques won't help you if you don't know how to take blows
I would like to pick up Kendo, a classmate used to practice it and he was just scary with a stick in his hand but I don't have the time/money to start with it atm

I got brown belts simultaniously in TKD and Judo when I was a kid, but after dropping out I forgot most of it and lost all my flexibility.
Later on when I was about 20 I've gotten interested in MMA through some friends, and I started training Muay Thai in a club + BJJ with a blue belt friend.

Nowadays I'm training almost everyday and I'm preparing myself for my first amateur Muay Thai fight.

Did kickboxing for 2.5 years, which was the best thing sport wise I ever did. I didn't compete in fights but the fitness aspect was insanely good. If anybody cares the training was with Regina Halmich's coach. Saw her stopping by there 2 times as well.

Then I moved and the new city didn't offer anything close to the training I was used to :-( Haven't done anything for 2 years but just now tried some introductory muai thai on a trip and now I am determined to resume (kick)boxing once I am home again.

1st degree TKD, been doing it since I was 10, so about 12 years now. Started training in Japan, got my black belt in Hawaii, competed in the mainland and branched out into MMA/Aikido/BJJ/Boxing/Muay Thai. Now I just base all of my fighting on what we call a "false crack" in Hawaii.

It's basically a sucker punch.

Did Karate for about seven years, looking back I wish I had done say gymnastics or ballet instead for the hot chicks. Seriously, I could never do BJJ - too much man on man love for my tastes.

When I was younger I was in Karate for about 2 years. At the time I found it kinda boring. I was easily the biggest in the class and that was probably why. I was around 12 at the time. Not really sure as to what style of karate. I took a couple Shotokan karate classes, but my friend grew bored and I had no way of really getting back there on my own. Took a few Muay Thai classes at the place I originally learned karate as a kid, but it's pretty damn expensive so I was only able to go for a trial period.

Your idea of love seems unusual.

I've been practising hard-style karate for about 9 years now, and I've got to say, It's a blast. I'm a jr black belt (I turn 18 this September), and I've made the podium in several local tournaments. The dojo I practise at is fairly informal, with less focus on traditional Katas and more on sparring, grappling, weapons fighting, and kick-boxing. It's not a huge place but the senseis are awesome (one made gold at an international martial arts competition last year), and I can't wait to get a few more styles under my belt (no pun intended).

Nice, but I'm yellow belt in UFC so I could take you easy. My signature move is the kimura.

Crosstrain Strikeforce too. After 15 seconds in my guard you'd be tapping faster than a morse code operator trying to tell a train the bridge is out.
