» aggie80 - Re: Welcome Mark
In response to message posted by paymb26:Thanks for the welcome, Paym! I have studied various arts over the last 25 years. I spent a few months, separated by deployments, studying Shotokan in Charleston, SC. Interestingly enough, I learned one kata. Almost twenty years later, I learned the same kata in another style, with a different name, and only connected the two after doing it for several months!
My Aikido training is limited to a couple months with a practitioner while attending an unrelated course, but one of the 5th Dans in my current dojo has studied extensively and shares holds and techniques on a regular basis. (Thanks, Mr. Hall!)

Great topic and article. I am looking forward to reading more. I have studied Kung Fu now for 18 years since I was 40 years old. Changed my life for the better.-- posted by Sir_Bulldog

In response to message posted by Sir_Bulldog:Thank you, Sir Bulldog! I hope we will get to share some of your learnings! My life as definitely changed for the better since getting consistent in my training. My weight is down, my blood pressure is down and I have a better attitude about life in general. Good things all the way around!

- what do the characters stand for??
It's been awhile since I've been in a dojo, so my character recognition is gone - what do the characters mean in your signature?
Thx
Paym

In response to message posted by paymb26:I couldn't have asked for a better set-up! They will become the topic of my first contest! I've just got to figure out what the prize will be and I want to get a following.
So, figuring out what they mean is one thing, but there is another part to it. Stay Tuned!

» Liatris - Hello
Hello,I just stumbled into your article here. My son has been in karate for almost 12 years now. He started at age 6 and is about to turn 18. I would highly recommend the martial arts to everybody. He earned a second degree black belt in Tang Soo Do/Choi Kwan Do and after moving out of state he took up Chun Kuk Do/Chuck Norris Karate...He has earned a 3rd degree in this style......we love it! Well, I love watching him. He's a great kid too and I owe it partly to the discipline he learned from the martial arts.

In response to message posted by susanperren:That's neat Susan! I started in Tang Soo Do at a Chuck Norris Karate school in Virgina Beach. My first dojo! That was a lot of years ago! I wish I had been able to stay on the journey, but military obligations and family sidetracked me many times! I have a daughter who is active in it and I hope she stays with it.
