Hi folks, A while back into my absence i took up learning the martial art Tang soo do, I'm now wondering if any of you folk also have an interest in martial arts or have experienced some in the past.

Were you once a Crouching tiger hidding a dragon? This post wants you!

Speaking of martial arts i was walking in the dark yesterday and i happened to find something smacks me in the face, So first instinct since i can't see back into a fighting stance.... Turns out my assailant is a chocolate bar wrapper.

Completly, 100%, it even had an Xwing... and a rancor... And a rancor piloting an x wing.

I got into Hap Ki Do for a while, actually for about four years. I loved it. I would say It is more of a Sloth type of martial art, if were making animal references :P I liked it because I never had to scream. Even though it was encouraged, and every other style I've seen in tournaments and sparring, people yell at me. I just stare into their souls, and defend myself.

I've only been practicing tang soo do for about half a year ( Give or take a few months) But it really has given me a sense of discipline and patience. On the note of yelling i have to say i am quite a yeller hehe :-)

Neat choice, never experienced tang soo do in person. 6 years of Tae Kwon Do, thats the one i hold a black belt in and 2 (former since i dont compete anymore) national titles with the USSSA), also karate for 2 years (shotokan), along with Hapkido, Jujitsu, and a little ninjitsu but id like to learn more of the prev two.

Best of luck with your martial arts exp! Learn as much as you can!
