Just curious, any of you gals & guys fellow martial artists? if so what rank and style? where do you study?
I don't, but my boyfriend does. He's a second degree black belt in karate and has also studied judo, arnis and hapkido. He's a bad a**! He's attended dojo's and used to compete in his younger days, but at the ripe old age of 38 he's given up the competition.
I trained in Wadokai in AZ for 5 years. I was just short of my black belt when I had to reorganize my priorities and as much as it hurt, it was the least important for the items vying for my time. I have been gone for almost 7 years but still have the bug in my blood. I am way too old to train anymore though.
I was a big time competitor (TKD -1st degree then, 3rd degree BB now) in my early 30's (that's old competing against the young), I still kicked their butts! Quit at 34 when found out I was pregnant with my son and hubby got orders for Japan! So my big-o'-belly and I got a Blk belt in IaiJutsu while stationed in Yokosuka. That was a sight to see! Seeing this big'o'fat bellied round-eyed women (the only one in class!) doing samurai sword swings! Since then I've belted in jujutsu (2nd degree BB) too. I help out assisting with my son's TKD classes now as a parent volunteer. No time to do it full time. My daughter is Black Belted in 3 styles too, 2 Korean styles and in judo. My 9 1/2 yro son is just getting started, we held him back because he wasn't mature enough until now.
