What's Your Story?

[KingNoahTheThird]

So basically, I think a big part of martial arts are thee stories that they produce, the journeys people go through. So I have to ask, what's YOUR story? What martial arts have you trained in, who have you trained under, have you made any friends, rivals, enemies? Entered any tournaments? I'm just curious to know your tales.

While she's not active here, this person's story may be interesting to you. It's all in one thread, and basically her story from her first month or so training up until second degree black belt in TKD. I think she also became a teacher at the school

One small step closer...

I realized I never posted about my level 1 test! I messed up my board breaking rather horribly but the rest went well. I'm well on my way through the level 1 requirements now and hoping for a level 2 test maybe next month. I've been working on improving the rhythm of Koryo and those pesky side...

I've trained Muay Thai, BJJ, and Boxing. I also engage in studying war theory, and playing live action war games. I enjoy total war, and steel division.

I have many rivals, growing up as a teen my friends would box each other. I don't have any enemies. I'm planning on getting really really good first then going to tournaments, cause when I lose I get depressed . I have some sort of warrior gene because I have a reserve of energy, I have keen senses, and sometimes when someone strong comes nearby me I can sense it and feel like wanting to challenge them. I even smell blood when someone strong comes into frame sometimes.

Welcome to Martial Talk.

Try not to let a loss depress you. Make it drive you improve going forward.

You need to chill out. You sound like someone I wouldn't even let inside my dojo, much less teach. May I suggest you take up the bamboo flute for a pastime? It has a soothing effect.

Thanks for sharing your story, and congratulations on achieving black belt. I started training in Kenpo Karate myself about 5 months ago. I go to a school that teaches Professor Cerio's Kenpo. He spread his Kenpo throughout New England, and it is still prevalent here to this day. My journey is still just starting out, but I am enjoying it and have no desire to stop.
