Who here practices martial arts? |
|
If you do, what style(s) do you practice and for how long?
I've practiced Shotokan karate for 4 or 5 years.

1. I used to practice Tao Chi Chuan, an internal art, when I was much younger. |
|
There was a kwoon not far from where I lived then.
I've let myself go in every imaginable way since then, but at least for a while, I was a rock.

3. I don't, but my wife and three daughters are all 2nd degree black in Tang Soo Do |
|
The girls all started when they were 3 1/2 to 4. They're 15 and up now. My wife just tested for 3rd degree black. There are 7 tests between 2nd and 3rd degree (and it goes up from there). It takes 12 years to move between 8th and 9th degree (the highest).

I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind limber.
