July 26, 201511 yr Hi folks, I spent the better part of 30 years in martial arts and got sidetracked by a combination of politics and family. I have been inactive since the mid 90's and I've spent the last 3 months just preparing my body for a modest return to the physicality of martial arts practice. I'm planning on being rather reclusive with my practice, but still have the twitch to socialize and miss the tournament scene. I have done some training with members of the Korean Army TKD Instructor Group and though I've been lucky enough to train in JKD, Tang Soo Do, Muay Thai, Savate, etc., the Oh Do Kwan system as taught by the ROK army in the late 1960's is where my heart is.
