The board is kind of slow as of late....so I'll start a topic to get
some discussions rolling....

What attracts you to martial arts?? You don't necessarily have to be
currently studying one, as alot of people are interested in martial
arts and not actively taking a class. So...what floats your boat
about martial arts?

For me, I was attracted to Martial Arts initially by the "exotic
nature" of it. (hey, I was just a kid!!). I was a huge fan of the
old "Kung Fu" TV series back in the 1970's, and I thought it would be
cool to be able to learn stuff like that.....minus the smouldering
cauldron to brand forearms with! ha ha ha!

I started in Karate, and immediatley fell in love with it. I ate,
breathed, and slept Karate. I think I checked out every martial arts
book in my local library, and begged my parents to let me subscribe
to "Black Belt" magazine.

From there, the addiction kept on. Kajukenbo, Eskrima, Tai Chi,
Wushu, Iaido, Kyudo.....I gobbled up these arts just as fervently as
Karate, and still practice/study them. I can't even imagine not
doing martial arts.

So there you have my story.....what's yours??
