    BJJ white belt who dabbles in Judo at times... Got into it to improve my fitness for fencing and fell in love so now I need to make time for both!

    Trained with my kids in Tang Soo Do for about 6 years. My son and I both made it to 2nd dan.
    I had to retire from training after the third doctor told me to stop. Don't want any more foot surgery. One is enough.
    Degenerative osteoarthritis.

    I'm an avid TKD lover, although I've been out of it for a year due to struggling to find a good dojang in my area. I trained in ITF taekwondo for 6 years when younger, and just about every dojang out here teaches WTF. I wasn't impressed with the dojang I tried that taught WTF, so I'm searching for the right place. I just found one dojang that seems to teach ITF, but I don't think I will start doing it again until next year due to school and work commitments. Next year should work better for this.

    Got my black belt in Kenpo Karate about 8 years ago, but then got bored with it and stopped right before testing for my 2nd degree black belt. I really enjoy my current routine (running, weight-lifting), but I do miss martial arts every once in awhile. I wish the classes weren't so expensive in my area.

    Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Blue belt. I train 5 days a week for 1.5-2.5 hours. I am the oldest student on the mats. We do 1 hour of instruction followed by 1.5 hours of hard rolling with sprints between rolls. I love it. It's addictive. Not a martial art for people who want to progress quickly. Belts progression can take years and years. It burns a ton of calories. Best part is the community of like minded people from all walks of life.
