Thruhiker Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi my name is Thruhiker. You might wonder what thruhiker means. Well the terms is defined as someone who has hiked the Appalachian Trail from GA to ME (2160+ miles). Well I personally haven't done this feat just yet however it's a goal that will be accomplished in the future. My school of choice is Tae Kwon Do. Why did I choose TKD? Well quite frankly it was virtually free and we study the traditionl methods of TKD. I got involved because one day my work had sent out a newsletter stating they were starting a beginner class in our health facility. I signed up and was accepted into the class. I have been studying for about two years now. I must say that I am a lifer. The Martial Way is a part of me now and there is no turning back. Thank you for reading Thruhiker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pineapple Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Hi Thruhiker! and welcome! Glad to hear that you've made a long term commitment to training. There are three stages to a martial artist. #1 A new person trains because of the excitement of doing something new. #2 A person trains because he supposed to train (discipline) #3 A person trains out of habit.
