Took Karate when I was younger. uhh does Tai Chi count? 

 

My father taught me a bunch of offensive and defensive techniques but I don't know if it was some form of martial art or not. 

 

I would say that Tai Chi has definite value when used offensively/defensively.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

Tai Chi is a martial art^^ so yes

With enough training it would probably be quite an effective one at that

My own personal style has influences from tai chi (or maybe i'd call it a slower version of wushu)

I was in karate classes for a couple of months when I was a kid. The only thing I vaguely remember is the regular punch and kick.

Ahhh I see... well I've always done it slowly never did quick movements and whatnot. As for Karate I haven't been practicing for years now, I'm actually kinda outta shape now...

 

Tai Chi was always done as a health thing for me really... Never though of it as a form of self defense.

How is the visibility in a fencing mask? 

Im thinking about training in historical european martial arts and they use similar masks.

Kendo masks made me feel like i was in prison. Almost to the point where dropping the shinai felt like dropping the soap

Fencing masks aren't as bad. As long as you don't mind if being much hotter, that is.

The heat i can handle. Although i had to wring out my bandana after longer matches when i was doing kendo

 

What style of fencing is it that you do btw? épée, foil or sabre?

Sabre

The sabre was the only one that i had any interest in^^ I mean. If you've got a sword. Why not use all of it  ^_^

i should be able to train with a sabre in HEMA as well. But my favourite weapon will always be the spear or staff  ^_^

Uriah Hall claimed that he used Tekken as a way to pick up on some moves. Considering this exists.

 

Along with frame analysis videos.

 

It wouldn't be a surprise that someone could learn based on videos (games). Hmm, it'd be cool if he was featured as a guest character in Tekken 7 just as an out of the blue sort of thing.

None around my area that I'm aware of. I know Kyo Kusanagi's fighting style is based on Kenpo though.

Ahh the other offensive and defensive thing was Tae kwon do, just asked my father.
