Tragedy Anne I used to take Aikido when I was about 14. I went with my dad and of course I had to quit when he stopped going, but I wasn't really into it then anyway. I made it to yellow belt. Now I'm taking Taekwondo in college, and I'm still a white belt.
I took Aikido too on and off for a few years, I really should have made it to yellow belt, but we would stop going for a few months at a time. My step-dad was a purple belt, and he showed me alot of interesting things, not just from Aikido.
My 'real' dad took Karate and some gymnastics and should me a bit or martial arts tecniques, but not much. My first step dad showed me boxing, which was lame, considering my age. And I've taught myself kick boxing.
some random rivethead... I've taken Tae Kwon Do, Okinawan Shorin Ryu, Russian, Judo/ Ju-Jitsu and I have a inate talent for swords and knives. I am also very docile unless I feel threatened (witch isn't very often), but if I'm in any trouble, I can kick about anyone's a**. I have a frighteningly high pain tolorance so no matter how many times you knock me, I'm still hitting back. Sparring with freinds has always been a treat for me, It's alot better when it's barbaric (no pads, just fight free until someone gives up or passes out).
I would always try to get my russian friends to spare with me that way, and they always backed out. Having a high pain tolerance, and being about 6'3" is a sweet deal for me.
I always get ideas for easy weapons or ways to take out people, most of my fighting style comes from improvised ideas I've developed, or spur of the moment things, rarely do I use what I've learned out side of kickboxing. Heh, I can take out 5 guys with a pool stick and a que ball with out them getting a hand on me.
Though, I try to refrane from weapons unless its to get people to back off without any actual fighting... sucks to be the intelligent one. I could really use an excuse to 'misplace' my anger.

Deific Requiem I have been attacked numerous times. That being said: most were my causing. ^^;
I never bothered with martial arts. My tactic is, and always has been, find things and use them. A chair, desk, pencil ... etc .. whatever is lying around. That is how I defend myself.
Myb reputation for being a "lose cannon" keeps me safe too. No one really wants to push me. >>
In regards to self defense classes, don't need them. I am too violent as is.
3nodding Agreed. I never took any, and in fact, I find them rather redundant. Being a black belt is actually against you. If you get into a fight, even out of self-defense, and the aggressor is injured as a result, having a black belt can work against you in a case.
Also, most disciplines are too rigid and ordered. A lot of disciplines, even if invented for self-defense purposes, don't work very well against someone who knows how to fight and isn't using your style. It'll work against someone just running at you, or maybe in disarming a knife, but someone trying to inflict harm against you who knows what they're doing as well will be able to still hurt you.
I've gotten into many fights, some of my own cause, some not. Either way, I've only lost in a fight twice. One was the first time, the other was because of...well, other circumstances prohibiting me from hurting them severely.
I just kick out their knees, or do something to get them on the ground, and then proceed to straddle and beat the crap out of them. It works.
However, while I have a short temper, if there's no reason behind it, I can't fight. I don't do "friendly" sparring. My boyfriend's a black belt in Hapkido and Tang Soo Do. His two best friends are...dunno, some belt in Karate. They spar each other all the time. I ended up spraining one of my boyfriend's friends because I don't actually know how to fight without doing major damage to someone. I was trying to hit softly and crap, but they threw a punch at me, and I grabbed their wrist and sprained it. >.<
I don't even like watching fights all that much. Just, when I get into one, I make sure that I win.

You're mistaken on several points. First, having a black belt in a respected system is not going to hurt a self-defense case. If anything it helps it, as you've got an entire school (or entire system if you're a high ranking black belt) of character witnesses. Second, the notion that "most disciplines are too rigid" for practical application is complete bollocks. If anything, rigid and disciplined training help by building a reflex library, making you just that much faster and stronger a fighter. While it may seem backwards or “redundant” at the elementary level, establishing a firm foundation pays off as you progress through your training. Third, the notion that being able to spar safely makes real systems weak is quite laughable. Sparring teaches self control, and being able to control your body allows you to hit more precisely, harder, and faster in actual combat application.
