Excellent! I been training for about 6 months worth, been on and off b/c of finacial reasons I dread to think it'll take me about 4-6 years to get my black belt. I'm only on 8th kyu

3 solid years of going as often as I can. Usually 3 - 4 times a week. Remember in the first class they teach you how to roll? After 3 years, you can roll like a champ.

I THINK THE BEST COMBINATION IS GRAPLING(JIU-JITSU), SOME WRESTLING, KICK BOXING WITH A LITTLE BIT OF JUDO SO YOU CAN THROW PEOPLE.

Learned Karate when younger but got bored. Then I found Aikido but had to stop practicing after 2 years cuz my knees are all messed up and need a surgery (they wont bend like they are supposed to ) but I think that starting from January '03 I'll start with Aikido lessons again ... or Capoeira ... dont know yet.

Tang Soo Do for 3 years.
I tried Shotokan for about 6 months when I was seven, and when I got to uni I went to one Jeet Kune Do lesson. I know Bruce Lee (the ultimate ninja!!) developed that style but the instructor was so up himself and crap that I never went back.
My instructor for Tang Soo Do was a full beast. Not only was he a Master (**official rank**), but he could actually teach it as well, which doesnt seem to be the case all too often. I got some pics as well, i'll post 'em soon(ish).
I dread to think it'll take me about 4-6 years to get my black belt. I'm only on 8th kyu
