Shotokan Karate as well.

Ten years; six as a kid, then I started from scratch again in my last term of high school. Did another four years, and got a 2nd degree brown belt. Then had trouble balancing it with university, got injured, and have been out for the last two years. Hoping to get back into it soon. Apparently my old club has changed a fair bit, so I might take up judo or aikido instead.

I do not practice Martial arts... but I do know Tae Kwon Do, Staff fighting, knife fighting and basic women's self defence (but I don't need the self defence for I have Tae Kwon Do)

Wu Shu Kung Fu. It's kinda/sorta/a-wee-bit like Bruce Lee's style. It's great fun.

Ai-YAH!!!

Krav Maga, it is not technically a martial art perhaps, but close enough I guess.

I have also trained Karate(Wado Ryo) and ITF Tae Kwon Do.

Prefer Krav Maga, alot.

Not at the moment, but I did study Shorinji Kempo for a bit. Might take it or another martial art up again at my next uni.

Wu Shu is also Jet Li's style, if you didn't know. It can be quite showy, and so adapts well to movies.

Minor nitpick: iirc, Bruce Lee started out in Wing Chun and then experimented with a number of other martial arts (including boxing and fencing). He developed a training/fighting philosophy and style based on his learning, and called it Jeet Kune Do.

(Can you tell that my best friend studies kung fu and is the biggest Bruce Lee enthusiast in the world?)
