How did you choose your art?


Recommended Posts

It was the closest one in my area at the time. Now, since I moved I am a half hour away from it. My sensei is a great teacher and it is a nice school so, I stayed. I also found out, that when you get to black belt they teach you Aikido in black belt classes, so I don't have to cross-train through another school!

I was incredibly interested in Taekwondo since I could remember because of its kicking, so I knew that it was the one for me since I was like 5.

I had wanted to study a martial art forever, especially since I was an easy target in school. I finally broke my parents down, and my dad asked me if I wanted to learn a style that used more hands or more feet. I said feet, only because it sounded interesting. I had no idea either way. He signed me up for the Tae Kwon Do class at the local YMCA taught by this intense Korean guy who, it turned out, was a former national Korean free fighting champion. The rest is history. Just tested 5th Dan last year.

There is no martial arts without philosophy.

I've always wanted to learn different styles so Kajukenbo fit my desires since it incorporates various arts and it is open to other styles. I was introduced to Kajukenbo by a coworker.

I was in college when I decided to take up a martial art. My choices basically amounted to Shotokan Karate or TKD, as I wanted to take a traditional striking art and these were what was offered on campus. I was a bit of a Japanophile, so I tried the Shotokan club first. I fell in love with the art and I really clicked with the people I trained with, so I never looked back.
