Interesting site you have here. My art has been Tai Chi for over eleven years now. Long ago, my brother and I took Judo for a year and got our yellow belts. Some years after that, Uncle Sam gave me a brief Hand to Hand Combat class during Army Basic Training. After another couple of decades, my family and I took up Wado Ryu Karate at our local community center, taught by a Japanese sensei. I got an orange belt before that class was discontinued. A year of Tae Kwon Do (yellow belt) and a class in Shotokan Karate (white belt with a black slash) followed before taking up Tai Chi, from a book at first. Eventually, I went to a half-year class, but I've mostly practised a Yang style modified to include a few 'reality-based' self-defense measures, pretty well every day. I'm located in North America -my screen name means 'little old man in North America' . Some other 'hobbies': trying to be a good husband and father (my kids are now grown), tending a small vegetable garden every year, walking the dog every day, and a little opportunistic birdwatching. I wish you all success in your MA journey.
Thanks for the welcomes, folks. Anth, I was wondering what's the significance of that adjustable wrench tightening or loosening a bolt in the yin-yang symbol? Or is it like a Rorshacht ink-blot test where you just say whatever it makes you think of, and thus tell more about yourself?
Howdy just a mma fan that trains some jujitsu and has a website from hawaii. I train more for health rather than competition. Don't want to get hurt where cannot go to work with the economy as it is. http://www.hawaiiufc.com
