My dad took me to see some Jakie Chan movies when i was little nad then took me to a dojo. Later Star Wars and some of the damn ninja movies of the eighties took care of the rest. I fell in love with the stuff.

the reason why i do martial arts is because i like to fight. Ever since i was little i was always punching or kicking somthing.

Bruce Lee movies! I started TKD when I was 11, then one day I tried to block a kick and broke my wrist. I realized I didn't like pain, so I quit and took up boxing....go figure!

Sionce I first kicked a grown man in the testes at age 5, I have been facinated with the art of the groing kick, hence TKD. I turned to BJJ because - what better way to deal with kicked testicles than curling up in a little ball, rolling around and crying, all while staying in the fight.

I like contact sports and competition. After busting my ass during high school football, and being on a 4 win team, I decided that I'd be better off doing a non-team sport.

Since my favorite thing about football was inflicting pain on opponents, outmaneuvering them, and knocking them on their ass, I thought I'd cut right to the chase.

Martial arts seemed like a good idea. I also developed a love for FMA, due to the fact that it is quite fun to whack people with sticks.

Yeah, I like being the only one responsible for my wins and losses as well.

At least if/when I lose, I know it wasn't because someone was dragging their ass around the field. Or, if that was why I lost, I was the only one to blame.

I like contact sports, I have been fighting since i first started elementry skool, i was about 4 when i got in my first fight, i couldnt even ride a bike yet......but i didnt start martial arts until after i had a teacher that was a professional fighter at one time and knew a few styles of martial arts an this boy tested him in the middle of class and he slammed him over a table and 2 chairs right on his fuckin head.....after that i went out and got involved in martial arts....but i already knew how to fight just cuz i have been fighting my whole life an i used to train myself in my basement on a bag. I basically had no choice but to kno how to fight because i grew up in a rough place.
