Jujitsu when I was a little kid. Fo Jeung these days. I call it hipster kung fu because it's a really obscure system you probably haven't heard of.

The first art I took up was Shotokan Karate. Then I went into Japanese Jiu Jitsu. Then I had a phase where I was trying to find different arts. I dropped in on a Wing Chun class, but didn't like it. Then I tried out some boxing, and I'd arrange amature fights. Then I discovered Jeet Kune Do, which interested me a great deal.

After that I forgot about martial arts, and (somewhat) recently have regained interest in it, specifically with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. But I'm mainly a spectator these days.

Taekwondo, kickboxing, a bit of Kali and Kung Fu (weapons), sport martial arts.

Started with Taekwondo as a kid but the rest is not really in any particular order.

I teach full-time. I need to start training BJJ to add that aspect and be a more well-rounded martial artist.... theres just never enough hours in a day!

Oh, and Im a runner and Im getting into ultramarathons - what better self defense than being able to run 50 miles away to escape the situation?

Running is good. But sometimes you're in an elevator.

Why run from them for 50miles? I'll just leg it real quick for 400 metres. (I say this partly in jest)

Most people can chase you for 400m. Most people cannot chase you for 80k. :P
