Hello All!
I, too, am new to the MAP and to Martial Arts. I have been practicing Tang Soo Do now for nine months and really enjoy the traditional art. While I really like learning the whole punching, kicking and self defense aspect of martial arts - I've really become fascinated with all the other aspects of martial arts. I've read the books "Living the Martial Way" and "Zen in the martial arts" and recommend both books to others to add to their martial arts library. Those two books alone have opened my eyes to see that there is SOOO much for to martial arts than your particular art/doctrine as well as punching and kicking. Additionally, it's also very nice that there is such a huge martial arts community and no matter what you study, it's all one big family; and one I'm happy to be in. It's just to bad it took me until 30 to find this...
Good luck to all... I look forward to chatting with some of you...
