I'm just curious. We have a running poll in the "Karate" thread on "What color belt are you?", and judging from some of the comments about this belt in this style, and that belt in that style, I thought I'd just round it out to how long, counting ALL the martial arts you've seriously studied in your time, have you studied the martial arts?

 

Myself, this coming January will be 30 years.

It has been since 75/76 for me.

 

I think that makes you and I the old farts of the forum SaiFightsMS! :D

 

I know I have gray hairs..lots of them as a matter of fact! lol I got a late start in life compared to most of the "kids" :roll: on this forum. I was 22 when I started taking my first class from Sensei Miller.

I do have to admit that these days after a haircut there are definately gray strands visable in the pile. Funny how I see more of them in the pile than on my head. I was in Korea during my initial exposure.

Not wanting to wander to far from the topic here (but I will anyway! :D ), I trained in Montana under my origional sensei, who had been stationed for several years on Okinawa just before I met him. He trained directly with the head of the system while stationed there. It was as close as I could get without being in Okinawa myself.

If i were to include my baby years, those 'unenlightened' times when i received formal instruction in boxing, judo and ninjutsu, i would probably have to say on or about 28 years.

I've been training for a little over four years. Our Hanshi is on his 38th year. He started, I believe it was 1965, when all the gi pants came to the knees according to him. Shorinryu can porbably attest to that. :lol: He's a great Sensei who has had a long journey that hasn't ended yet. I hope to be as devoted as he and some of you guys/gals on this site.
