Any martial artists out there?

[Paulie Walnuts]

Just wondered if there were any like minded souls out there. I'm 40 next week and I took up Ju Jitsu three months ago. I am absolutely loving it, and wish I had started earlier in life.

I used to play football (soccer) all the time, but have spent the last 7 years getting completely out of shape! But this stuff has really focused me. I'm itching to get to training all the time. I chose it because I didn't like the idea of a martial art where you just practice drills over and over again.

There is plenty of technique practice in this but there is a lot of sparring with other people, and it its great fun, as well as physically and mentally challenging.

Anyone else out there who does Ju Jitsu, or any other martial art?

I used to box - spared a bit, but mostly stuck to training since I can't see without contacts or glasses. I've mulled over taking up kung-fu or karate. My late father was a judo expert.

I took Tae Kwon Do briefly many years ago and I loved it. I will do it again. First, master my guitar then I will start taking Tae Kwon Do again.....

I am a yellow belt with two greens stripes in Tae Kwon Do, and have been so for about 12 years.

I am master of my own domain
