Hey everybody,
Just in the way of an introduction - I'm just starting my training in MA, but that's only because I haven't been able to / had time to in the last couple years that I've held an interest. I'm starting in a Korean Martial Arts School - the main focus is on the Hapkido training, but the our Master really teaches us more of a hybrid of the 4 styles that he has a Dan rank in - Hapkido, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, and Kum Sul Do (weapons fighting, basically). However, I've read more material on the topic than many BB's probably have, so as far as technical knowledge and knowledge of styles, I'm fairly fluent. I do lots of sports, have competed in and won a couple triathlons, and such - so I'm quite fit. I'm 6'2 and fairly light. I was wondering if anyone has any advice for starting out or for training? MA has been one of my passions since long before I started training, and I doubt that it will wear out. To be quite honest, I don't really care about the color of my belt - I just want to learn as much as possible and train to the point that most if not all of the techniques that I learn are muscle memory. On a side note - the only other forum that I regularily post on is 'philosophyforums.com' where my handle is 'distortion'. Just a little insight into my personality. Any suggestions?
