I do fencing and archery if they count as martial arts, there is no reason why they shouldn't, you still hurt stuff!

I did kendo, if you can count that. I also know Sambo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Aikido. I practice LINE (the Marine's ex-adopted martial art) I use grapples and pressure points, so I only really do open handed fighting, though some of the open handed LINE attacks are a lot more painful than punches generally are. I was originally taught this and Jiu-Jitsu by my brother, who is/was a marine, and have since been training. I've never done it competatively, though I used to spar with my brother in it. I actually miss using it, but I don't use it on any of my friends or my big brother, as I find it... unfair? Dangerous? Easy to get in trouble at the least  |

I'm a striker.
Started in MMA to augment my 'kicking power, used to be a very competitive and 'deadly' striker (varsity soccer team).
Used to do Muay Thai for Power and Tai Chi for control and balance. Ended up doing Muay Thai competitively also. ;D
Used to dabble in Wushu (broadsword, staff), Japanese Kendo and our local Arnis de Mano (paired sticks).
My cuz are into the more potent form of MMA.

I prefer my kickboxing to grappling but as a short guy and pretty stocky, in any form of competative striking I would be fighting guys with a much better reach/height advantage. As I am not prepared to be very slim/light.
Still enjoy grappling though.
I havent trained in at least 6 months though, put on 30+Lbs haha, got some mates back home from uni who want to start training though so that will give me some motivation.
