Hi! Everyone calls me TJ. I have practiced martial arts since I was in 3rd grade. I am now in 11th and my 18th birthday just passed last Friday. I used to be in Japanese Karate, but I now take Soo Bahk Do, a Korean Martial Art. I have to say that I think it is one of the best martial arts out there. It is very deep in history and philosophy. I am a 2nd Gup (red belt, 1 stripe) and am a year and a half from my midnight blue belt (= to black).
I am an incredibly active person and train almost constantly. I believe I have the best Sa Bom (instructor) there is in Soo Bahk Do. I have performed at festivals representing my school and it is my life. I got MMA gloves for Christmas which I use a lot.
I just got a new camera for my birthday so perhaps I can upload a few videos. Testing graduation is next Thursday (I didn't test, I have to wait until May, the length between tests for red belts is twice as long as others). I should be able to get some good video clips.
I came here to find some fellow Soo Bahk Do members and help people get better. I am ordering my study materials for my Jok Kyo (Teacher Assistant sort of). I have been teaching classes/ warming up classes. I also teach the beginner class that is only a half hour.
This looks like a great place and I can't wait to read the topics.
