    Don't worry, this isn't a vs. poll, just a poll to see who does what. How old is the art you practice, and what is it exactly.

    Mine is Ryukyu Kempo, and it is over 400 years old.

    Shuri-Ryu..

    I study Shuri-Ryu Karatedo, which literally means "To Learn from tradition and to transcend". It was brought to America in 1942 by GrandMaster Robert A. Trias, and is known to be the 2nd oldest MA known today.

    shaolin_hendrix Hooray for Zoidberg!

    That's impossible. I looked at one of the style's websites, and it says that your style was based on shaolin. There are many styles much older than shaolin, such as shiao chiao and kalaripayattu/kalaripayit. Also, there are ancient instructional paintings of martial arts that have been found in egypt, as well as portrayals of martial arts styles on ancient pots in europe.
