Any TAs into martial arts?
Usually I'm pretty quiet about it, as I try to progress in my understanding for obvious reasons. I'm just wondering any TAs here have taken any self defence or better yet, still doing it.

I've taken some form of Kung Fu when I was younger. Don't remembe anything. Then as a teenager I took, Tae Kwon Do (yellow) and Ishin-ryu Karate (green). Didn't like the styles... so I found ninjutsu afew year ago. I recently obtained my black belt and my real learning has just begun.

Took judo when young... didn't really like it
Then karate, but my parents didn't quite like the idea (and I was 8), then I had to leave
A bit after Tae Kwon Do, which is mint (I'm a yellow belt yet because I had to stop when I entered university)
Nowadays, I'm taking ninjutsu, which is mint too (though I still miss Tae Kwon Do). It's all about my schedule
Anyway, I'm taking ninjutsu on Saturdays and I'll probably take Kendo on Sundays...

Hello.
I took Tae Kwon Do for a year and got upto a high red belt. (yes one step b4 black) I stopped for no reason. Just got bored I guess. My lastest venture is Thai Boxing. For those that dont know what it is, you should study up, and for those that do know......I loved it when my instructor handed me a coke bottle and said roll this up and down the front of your legs........ just to break all the nerve endings...
So yea it is mighty intense... but fun as hell

OMFG you too!!! (I'm responding faster than I can read each reply to this thread.)
Not to say other arts shouldn't deserve respect. I also like Aikido and forms of jiujutsu.
Ever heard of Hojojutus
