Being in constant pain must be just awful. Makes everything else sound trivial. Heart goes out to you. Thanks. Yea it's tough. But some days are worse than others. I'm back on Lyrica, so that should help. My dojo got flooded again, so there may not be class on Saturday. Ninjanurse, is there class Saturday?

My biggest issue has been my fibro. The cold is really getting to me. I'm in pain 24-7. Just saw the doc to get a different med so I can, at least, do my job comfortably, let alone MA. The weather has also been an issue. My dojo is an hour away and we had storm after storm (snow). I'm hoping to go tomorrow, but it all depends on these two issues.

Great! I've been in and out, but I believe this is the best forum for martial arts out there.

Happy Birthday!

You hit the on the head with that one ma'am (ninjanurse). I agree. I switched from TSD to TKD. I did find some things similar, but also some stuff was a bit different. Heidi is now my instructor in TKD. I love the way she mixes styles. TKD being the big part of it, but we also learn karate kata and Jujitsu in TKD classes. There is also Jujistu taught in separate classes. I love it. I used to be big into competing. But not so much anymore. I learn martial arts for self defense and to do something fun for fitness (instead of the same boring stuff LOL) mainly, so I would be the wrong person to get advice about competing.

bushido!!!!! I remember you. How are ya? And thanks

Maybe subconsciously I could be asking that, you're right. But I didn't think of it that way. I told ninjanurse and hubby that I will take jj when they do something I think it will be cool with my body. If not, I'll just take TKD. So yea, good point.

Both of the MAs I'm taking are at the same dojo and taught by a husband and wife team. My TKD instructor is on here (ninjanurse). And her husband teaches jj. Ninjanurse and l also take jj together. Very unique situation but it works fine for them and me. I just wanted to know if KF folks would do it if it were in different dojos.

I'm currently doing two martial arts (TKD and traditional Jujitsu). JJ, I do not want rank in. One, it's hard on my body (I have Fibro). Two, it is mixed in with TKD (just the way my instructor as it set) anyway. Would any of you do this ... rank in one art, but not the other? For the record, both my instructors don't mind at all.

LOL Mrs. Wilmott (ninjanurse). I did that yesterday hehehe. Bows. How are ya ma'am? Thanks wagnerk.

Thanks Patrick
