I missed this thread the last few times it surfaced. I have a 1st degree blackbelt in Taekwondo, although I haven't had time for it since I started grad school. I really miss it and plan to go back. It was fun and a really great way to keep in shape. Depending on the instructor, we also learned a few Aikido moves and some pressure point control tactics. I broke a pinky toe sparring and I broke my right hand the night before a major biochemistry exam (you should have seen the look on my prof's face, especially since I hadn't gotten a cast yet and the hand was swollen and greeny-purple). I tried sabre fencing for a few months (slashing looked more fun than poking), but I had a tendency to hit hard rather than fast. That, and I had a powerful urge to kick my fencing partner.

Welcome to the board Aerin!!!
Sorry its taken a little bit to get back to you. This week has been pretty busy for me!!!! Oh I can believe the look. Just was hearing a story from my Kendo/Iaido Sensei, about one of the Sensei's he trained with in Japan. This Sensei had trained w/ Mori Sensei, a famous Sensei and they were going at it in a practice match. I'm not sure if he was wearing armour or not during this match, this guy use to practice w/ kids ie all way up to 20's with out armour. Anyways they are going at it and Mori Sensei goes for the throat area. This sensei couldn't speak for two weeks afterwords and hes like now thats hard training. Plus he had a nice big scar on his throat from it. So just amazing and gotta hurt. Yeah I'm at the point where I gotta focuse on no power in my strike and instead work on actual Technique cause I'm using too much power. Well take it easy and I will talk at ya later.
