I took krav maga, and would like to again (as the last time I did, my training was cut short). I enjoyed its practicality and speed, but of course, it lacked the "art" side.

I've always been fascinated by ninjutsu (and I know I'm not alone). But while my aspirations to be a ninja were strong years ago, today I doubt that I'll ever be one. It seems to be something that would take years of training.

I would enjoy kung fu or tai chi, and am looking for a place, where I'm moving, to study.

I would really love to study the old European arts of swordplay, etc, but there are no schools for it in my current area. (The icon of this group looks like a scene out of Meister Liechtenauer's Kunst des Fechtens.)

I enjoy archery as well, but my aim is terrible. I would definitely suck as a Mongolian horseman.

I take Shuri Ryu, and was recently promoted to brown belt (2 belts away from black).

Used to do Tae Kwon Do (reached black belt), but after getting severely injured (not from sports funnily enough), I now play Kendo.

I have been enjoying playing kendo for over three years now.  Aside from my regular class twice a week, I enjoy competing in several tournaments each year.  I recently passed my Shodan exam (like black belt if kendo had belts), and I hope to test for Nidan (2^nd level) before the end of 2011.
