madtanker Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Hello everyone, I am not new to the martial arts, although I am new to formal study. I have had military hand-to-hand training, and some training from one of the trainers of the Atlanta Police Department while working in security enforcement (which is different from the average 'flashlight cop' in that we actually were a 'police' force (although unsworn) for the Atlanta Housing Authority).I am getting ready to study Tang Soo Do (which I find fascinating for two reasons)1) The founder came to MA the same way that I did... roundabout and with little help until he found a way2) The founder also set up a midnight blue belt as opposed to black (or rather in addition to it), to determine and spell out the significance that nobody is ever truly at the end of their journey...I am also going to incorporate Hapkido, which interests me because it lends more to my style of defense; holds, locks, and getting someone to a point where they can no longer pursue an assault.Hello again to everyone! It is what you learn when you think you know everything that matters most! (unknown)" I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself". (DH Lawrence)"The only stupid question is the one that was never asked!!" (Me!!!)
