Sorynn Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 (edited) Hello everyone. I just joined the forums and thought I would post a little about myself. I studied Atemi-ryu jujutsu and judo [on and off] for about six or seven years and boxing for two years, but I stopped my studies at the age of 19, when I started playing rugby. I retired from rugby after ten years and several injuries and sugeries. So at the age of thirty I started to seriously consider a physical activity that I would enjoy and that I could continue throughout my life. I have always enjoyed contact activities, and the more I though of martial arts the more excited I became to start training again. There is not a Jujutsu dojo close to where I live. So, I started looking for an art that would build on some of the skills that I still remember. I wanted to practice a soft art and an art that has a strong traditional value system. I was fortunate to find a Hapkido dojang with an instructor that I am excited to learn from. My new journey started three weeks ago, but I am looking forward to it.
