why did all of you get into martial arts?

The reason I got into MA instead of selling apples

I got into Martial Arts because theres so many arts and so many possiblities, I dunno, but I definetly didn't do it to be like everyone else and spend 100% of my time on MMA. Oh, and ever since I was like 8 I kept telling myself I'd be the best MA out there, even before I started the MA, its funny, I always told myself I'd be the best but never try'd them till I was 12.

I too started about the same age. I think it was more for the discipline and fighting spirit that attracted me. I had competed in so many team sports as a kid and really enjoyed the self-development in MA. At the time I started, MMA wasn't around though.

I got into MA because

"I likes fightin" (to quote an old mate)

Then I realised I was crap but was to stupid to quit!
Now I'm much more mature & don't like fighting,however I quite like hitting people.
I just keep working toward getting my first 'white belt'.Then maybe polka dot braces.
