Do the Martial Arts run in your family?

[bushido_man96]

I was wondering how many of us here have Martial Arts running in their families.

My dad was into TKD many years ago, and although he only made it to red belt, he knows a lot more than some black belts I know.

My mom holds 2nd dan rank in TKD, but doesn't actively train anymore.

My two younger brothers both hold 1st dan rank in TKD, and they both Wrestled in high school. Neither are actively training right now.

How about anyone else?

My parents never trained, but my son trains with me. Does that count?

My brother and I are the only ones in our line who train. It stated with him and progressed to myself. We both are hoping our children take it upas well.

As far as I know, no. Hopefully if I ever have children they will be interested and want to take it up with dear old dad. (HOWEVER since i'm 19 and hardly ready for that and not sure i'd even want children lets just say no at the moment)

My old man boxed during his time during the navy.

Now, my daughter is training. Hopefully, this continues.

My hubby and I trained together for many years-he now teaches jujitsu.

My oldest boy has a shodan in both jujitsu and TKD.

My youngest boy is has a 2nd degree BB in TKD and is pursuing his BB in MCMAP.

My oldest daughter us a 1st Degree BB in TKD.

My youngest has yet to take her BB test-she keeps missing the test due to broken bones, torn knees, etc.!

My brother attained the rank of Junior Purple Belt in American Kenpo and my grandfather reached Brown Belt in Judo.

As far as I know I am the first one. I sure hope to start the tradition!

My grandfather trained in Karate when he was in the army.
