I'm a newbie to martial arts, having just completed my first month of classes. While I find that I have Muuuuch to learn, I am loving the focus and challenge! I've spent the last few weeks reading up on some of the threads in the Women's forum:lurk:, and found that I learned quite a bit. So here I am! OH! I am studying Uechi Ryu, an Okinawan half hard/half soft style. Hoping to learn lots and have some words of worth to add to the discussions!

Welcome aboard! Happy posting. Half hard/half soft...would that make it a "mushy" style?

Lumpy is probably what I'd be when I left one of your classes.
I'm a Nihon Goshin Aikido practitioner in the Roanoke, Va area. You ever get down our way you're welcome to stop in a train for the day.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I have enjoyed and learned much from what I have read so far.

Jeff, thanks for the invitation. I have relatives in salem and Fincastle, so it could happen. Just let me get more training under my belt first!
Enjoying the converations and company!
