Just thought I'd take a minute to hello to all. I'm impressed by the responses I received to my thread under "Japanese arts", so thanks to those of you who took the time. Despite some of the arguing that goes on in this forum, we are all bound by a common interest - martial arts - and that's a very cool thing. So congrats to all of you who are dedicated and train hard and work to promote your art. With sedentary lifestyles and obesity on the rise, it's great to see people still pushing themselves and helping others to do the same. I've seen first hand what a positive impact training can have for kids and adults of all shapes and sizes. I'm particularly interested in hearing from any women on the forum (kindred spirits), but all messages are welcome. So, who are you out there? (Almost no one has a public bio!)
