It's amazing that I've never before visited a martial arts forum; I've been geeking since the mid-1970s and on the mat on and off since the mid-1980s.
I did some Tae Kwon Do in New Hampshire (but can't remember the teacher's name, save to say that he was well-known and had ties to MIT TKD), Aikido in San Francisco (with Robert Nadeau Sensei, and others), and most recently, after an eight-year hiatus, Hakpido (with Master Jun-o Kang).
My kids, girl 4.75 and boy 7.25, are into Hakpido, the younger takes me to the do jang twice daily (!).
In my previous schools testing was rather optional, and so it's only at this latest school, with the kids, that I'm testing (mostly to fit in with their class structure and for the kids' view of progress).
I have some military experience (Army) and I know my way around a kitchen. And computers. And travel.
Pleased to be here.
