the place I was at moved not long after joining (used to Kickbox then started that) so I havent been able to carry on with it.
Will start up again when I move out of Manchester in the summer.

wonder if he can moonwalk 
tbh i think thats what steve would try and do to you if you insulted his 106 gti to his face, but would fail miserably after realising its real life and not virtual fighting on his xbox

Cool, I always wonder how long it'd take before you could do worthwhile stuff like that.. It's all pretty interesting IMO.

to be that good would need atleast 18-24months of training a few times a week (about 6hrs atleast) with a decent instructor.

always wanted to do Wing Tsun but there isn't a good instructor anywhere by me. Did karate for 7+ yrs and got to black belt then quit for something different. never found that something so stopped doing martial arts
tried judo and hated it, might start tae kwon do soon though as Dave Honey (was a uk champion for a few years i think) teaches by me so thats the only good option i got probablly

do kick boxing.
Its much more contact based than Karate, and IMO one of the best martial arts for self defense if you have a good teacher. Ours used to teach us as if we were in different situations (sat in a bar and someone coming towards you, if multiple guys are attacking you, various 'household' weapons, etc.

Yeh kick boxing was another option, need to find a good instructor/dojo as I hate these ones run by idiots and held in like small scout huts or something.
I did alot of contact karate too, quite alot of people just do it for the moves and kata's but I did sparring 2x a week too, no point learning it if you don't get a chance to use it/try it out. I used to keep my liscence updated each year even though I wasn't doing it, just so I could keep my weapons
