Are you doing the one you wanted?

I am doing the Art I want to do. At the time (early 80's), I knew nothing about Tae Kwon Do and just wanted to practice a martial art, for the simple reason of self defense. I was tired of being picked on. My dad signed me up for the local Tae Kwon Do class at the YMCA. I suspect he knew of the Instructor and class's reputation. I had no idea what to expect. The rest, as they say, is history. Fortunately for me, the YMCA was the main central studio of the organization, so I lucked into practicing at ground zero under the GM of the organization. You couldn't ask for better learning.
I do remember his asking me if I wanted to learn a style more hand oriented or kicking oriented. Maybe movies influenced me in that aspect, but I figured kicking sounded more fun to learn.
