Title says it all folks. =)

For me, this journey to get my weight down and the success I've had so far has been a direct byproduct of my falling in love with the Arts. I train regularly in hard and soft systems, cultivating my character as I learn and grow. If there are any out there who are of similar philosophy, add me.

Be like water, my friends.

    Right on. I love how TKD practitioners are so light on their feet. I'm very deeply rooted especially when considering how I carry my weight. I primarily practice JKD and FMA under the Inosanto systems. Adding you, Hype.

    I did TKD for years before an injury made me stop. My son in law is a world champion BJJ fighter sponsored by Shoyo Roll.

    I do not actually practice any martial arts, but love the MMA styles of workouts
    Love to kick my bag - gets in tons of cardio, helps balance and strengthens legs :smiley:

    Yes! Born and bred goshin-jitsu. Both my parents teach it so pretty much was unavoidable for me.

    TKD for about 15 years now. I've also trained for about a year in Muay Thai. I'm currently looking into expanding my horizons with a new martial art. Feel free to add me :)

    I actually just started back in Tae kwon do two weeks ago! I figured comitting to classes and training would force me to get in shape. It's so frustrating to be so out of shape and not be able to do what I used to do bc of it.
