I have a laundry list of things I'd like to spend time learning, but either haven't had time/opportunity, or have only had time for a little bit and want more.
Here's my current list:
love to spend more time in Judo
took one Sumo lesson, dying for more
Sayoc Kali
Sambo
La Canne et Baton
say what you will, but I really enjoyed my time in Krav Maga (not KMWW)
took one Shuai Jiao lesson, loved it
Wing Chun
wrestling
Wow, mine is mostly clinch. Huh.
I also have a list of "related" things I want to train:
Parkour (I'm just starting and I love it)
"stunt" driving
And frankly, I have tons of unrelated things I'd like to learn or train, but I'll leave that for another time.
I would love to train in the following: 1) Savate 2) Fencing 3) Capoeira 4) Kendo or iaido 5) Sambo 6) Judo 7) Any indigineous wrestling style (Mongolian wrestling, Kokh, glima, Ssireum, etc) 8) bando 9) Khmer Traditional Boxing 10) a variety of other FMA and Silat styles
I need to quit school and be a full time martial artist
edged weapons (preferably with Ray Floro) Judo Sombo (with a focus on leglocks) Silat (with a focus on takedowns) Shotokhan (with a focus on footsweeps)
Would have said Olympic Weightlifting, but I found a great gym/coach a few months ago and am loving it.
As for Machida Karate, do you mean what Lyoto does (which is heavily supplemented by crosstraining in BJJ, Wrestling, and Kickboxing gyms) or do you mean doing katas and one-step sparring with his father?
Parkour - goes in nicely with the marathon running I'm doing Weightlifting - kettlebells, barbells, dumbells, whatever - I need to get stronger Swimming - I hate water, but I already run and bike, so might as well get the third part for a triathlon Rock Climbing - good functional strength training Boxing - I've got long arms, might as well make the most of it Enshin Karate (or anything related) - Integrating Judo throws with Kyokushin style striking seems perfect Sanshou/Sanda - integrating throws with Muay Thai also seems perfect Capoeira - good for physical conditioning, and some aspects would come in handy in a fight too Freestyle Wrestling - no brainer, need the takedowns Schwingen - it's a belt wrestling style and I'm part Swiss, might as well Kali/Arnis/Eskrima & Dog Brothers - no brainer for MMA style stick fighting Krabi Krabong - on the surface it looks like it'd be a good transition between stick fighting and Muay Thai style striking
Most of this stuff is available locally, and I've even got several choices. It's just about the money.
Right now I'm not training anything, due to injury, but otherwise it would be BJJ, Judo and Hapkido.
Body building, especially bench presses and pec flies. I'll be swelling. No one will f*** with me on any beach. I won't need to train any martial arts (except for spiritual purposes, of course).
Savate(the complete art including lutte parisienne, le canne et baton, le couteau, etc)
Krav Maga(not the mcdojo variety)
Combat Sambo
Systema(can't help but be curious)
I also agree that physical fitness arts/skills should go hand-in-hand with defensive training. For me it would be parkour/bodyweight conditioning, swimming and minimalist running.
