You do martial arts? That's where I get most of my exercise. I pretty much do it whenever I get the time though, I don't have a specific routine.
I practice taekwondo, which I think is a pretty well rounded martial art; I've learned all kinds of punches, kicks, varying techniques, staff fighting, counter attacks, knife defense, and stuff like that. It all gives a great workout, especially once you get up to the black belt techniques.

I am studying Martial Science, Jeet Kune Do, Ninjitsu, Jujitsu, Wing Chun and I'm starting to look into Aikido, Taekwondo, Muay Thai...

Are you good at kicks?

Geez, I got into taekwondo because we had a business in my town with a really good master. That's the only one I've studied so far.

Not to sound full of myself or anything, but yes. The master at my school back in my home town has very high expectations of his black belts, so there's no way he'd have passed me if I wasn't good at them. I know that my friend actually complained that we worked on them too much.

Just as a point of interest, we had a master (fourth degree) who was an expert in the millitary style, so he'd drill us over the basics, another master (sixth degree) who would drill us on kicks with a minor focus on punches and blocks, and then the owner of the do jang and another sixth degree black belt who is from S. Korea and learned from the masters there. He tends to focus on techniques and combining all the stuff we've learned for sparring matches. It's a pretty well rounded place.

Can you do inverted roundhouse and inverted hook kicks? Those are the only types of kicks I can't do.

Can you do a kick straight up in the air?

I'm teaching myself out of books...
