Over most of my adult life, I have practiced some form of it including Krav Maga, Jeet Kune Do Concepts, MMA, Filipino systems, Tai Chi, and Tang Soo Do. Due to severe Arthritis, I stopped practicing it several years ago.

I wanted to practice martial arts since I was a child. 2 years ago, I was finally able to sign up for Tae Kwan Do classes and I really enjoyed it. It was a great way to stay in shape and to stay sharp. The instructor was excellent and I was learning quickly and advanced to green stripe over the course of several months. Unfortunately, life, job and finances got in the way and I had to withdraw from classes. I still miss attending and practicing.
I would love to sign my kids up as I believe the discipline would be good for them but we'd be in the neighborhood of $400/month to sign both of them up.
Just happy to be here.

I used to be in Kempo Karate, did some grappling, wrestling, and studied Gung Fu (Bruce Lee's style). I was signed up to start Wu-Tang but I ruined my back shortly after. Me too but I was just trying to get my rain suit off once when I REALLY needed to use the bathroom once !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know Karate, and two other Japanese words lol. I'm trying to learn the judy chop, it's hard!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I have a friend who studied all types of it. I said nah I never really found the time for it . I wrestled a bit in Highschool. thats where he stopped me and said , Wrestling is a martial art ! He started breaking down many of the moves in wrestling into Judo and other types of martial arts so I guess a little Wrestling , but it has been a while helped a little when my daughter was in USA Wrestling. you might look into wrestling around here it starts in first grade I think goes through 8th then there is high-school wrestling the cost to join is like 30 dollars if I recall at the local club that meets at the grade school. https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Membership/Athletes/Find-a-Club

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
