Well, what reminded me that I wanted to find something was the movie "Hero" I saw that and I said "man I need to learn SOMETHING!" :lol:
but the stuff in hero looks nothing like kempo and hung gar

I was looking for something practical so I went to EVERY place in my little city. I knew that stuff wasnt what I was going to learn, it was just a MA reminder that I wanted to learn something

gotcha,you practice some pretty cool styles anyways

There is no teacher but the enemy.

I joined because all of the choices except the 1st and the 2nd.

Could you be clearer for me, thanks.

Blue Devil. What aspects of 'Hero' influenced you? Was it the dramatic moves or because there was something 'eastern' in the martial arts that they were doing that you wanted to learn?

Thank you everyone for all the responses, please keep them coming.
