4th degree black in Taekwondo. I was also awarded a black belt and a certificate by a good friend of mine who put together a self-defense system that is heavy on LEO defensive tactics and women's self-defense. I think I earned a yellow belt in Aikido, and worked up to brown belt rank in Combat Hapkido, both years ago. I've also earned certifications in GRACIE and Police Krav Maga courses, both LEO-focused DT courses.

I hold the Rank of 'Man of the House' although this is self-appointed and I'm pretty sure my wife actually has this title most of the time... or think she does... I'm not sure which anymore...

Other than that I'm also a 4th Dan in Karate :)

May I ask why does this question always show up from time to time no matter the venue??

**Proof is on the floor!!!

I tried searching for similar post on KF but nothing showed up.

I guess its just out of curiosity, to know everyone's experience, considering there are so many different styles. (for me) It makes viewing everyone's responses all more interesting.
