Oh, a slacker, ey?
 
I started studying Martial Arts ("Karate") about a year ago. Started from a place of a high level of ignorance. Thought there was Karate, Judo (Ju-jitsu) Tae kwon Do and Aikido and that was it.

Boy, was I ever wrong. As I understand it now there are over 100 "styles" of Karate alone. Then Korean, Chinese, Thai, eastern European, Middle Eastern and others. Probably a finite number that is not capable of being counted and is increasing daily.
