Maybe I'm beating at a dead horse here but I'm at work, feeling a little lethargic and decided that I can slack off by posting here instead.
It all began...
As a kid, as far as I can remember, I loved fighting. I love the feel of being capable of defending myself. I admired the Amazons, fell in love with the idea since I learned about them. And yes I was a Xena fan.
Moving on from that, it wasn't until I was 18 before my parents finally had to let me take martial arts. They said I was too violent, too unlady-like already. My poor parents. I never did quite turn out the way they wanted.
so how did I get started? I pulled open the community centre and went "eenie meenie mini mo" on the list of martial arts there are. I'm serious, I kid you not. I was incredibly lucky that I ended up with such a good school. I knew nothing, didn't do any research, and just jumped right into it.
As for how far I will go, I don't know. But it's part of my life, I love it with a passion and I think I'll it will always be a part of me no matter what, even if I have a family with three kids (doubtful). Well, if I have kids, they're just going to have to deal with it. I am not looking to be the best, to go to a certain dan, but simply just to keep at it, to learn skills and to be able to fight well. I have my own standards (namely right now, to be able to win in a spar with friends for once.) That's pretty much it.

Ha ... just started martial arts at 18 ... hmm ... reminds me of some people I know, they joined the Karate club at this age too ... (mainly because most students who enter Poly(technic) are around 17 to 18 ... ^ ^" )
Anyway, I don't think that martial arts are all that violent ... it is an art form with combat applications. Anyway, I know a lot of girls who take up Martial Arts ... and they weren't violent and unlady-like ... sweatdrop
Shhhush. XD
That's just her. We just like to keep that info on a low profile, though.
You never know who she might kill next if we talk about it. *scard, shifty eyes* XD
I HEARD THAT!
*gets out the bunny-skin peeler and the whip*
twisted
Not again. *runs*
Oh well ... sweatdrop
