didn't know where else to put this, because, it's not really a sport... but, does anyone here do any form of martial arts?
i'm in something called hapkeido, have been in it for 11 years, left for a few years, and am back in it now, been going since 98, and will be testing for my blackbelt this summer or early fall.
it is a combo of a lot of things, weapons work, throws, take downs, punches kicks, and just a lot of different concepts. best thing i ever did. teaches you how to survive in a world where people can be idiots. yes, we learn how to defend against knives as well. it's fun, intense, and, i'm the only blind one in my class, but that doesn't matter, i can fight like the rest of them, and i have no limitations.. being blind is an advantage, because when they have to be blindfoulded for what ever reason in training, they get flustered, unerved, as for me, i relish the fact that, yes, i can do this.
so any other martial artists out here in zone land?
