I went from the JW's and got heavy into martial arts. I have a black belt in Kenpo Karate, TKD, and Kenjitsu and also hold ranks in Jujitsu and other lower ranks in other systems. I learned ages ago it is nothing evil like Witnesses said it was, and have actually trained a few Ex-Jw's in my time. They always enjoy meditation the most, even though they were told to avoid it. I think it was a interesting step for me to take, but I love it and train still to this day.

Anyone else out there take this avenue in life?

Just wondering

I'm too out of shape for that stuff now. :( I could have been a black belt in TKD but I avoided it like the plauge for some reason. I strung my high red belt out for 2 years before I finally quit. Martial Arts is what got me into so many Elders meetings before I got DF'd. Now, I somewhat practice Tai Chi when I get off my butt and actually do it. As far as achievements, one of my most satisfying was getting first place in forms at the 1994 U.S. TKD championships. I would have had first place in light contact fighting but got DQ'd for being too rough. If not for such a demanding school schedule I would love to take Shorin-Ryu Karate at the local school.

TKD was perfect for me though just because of my body structure. I could kick to the head faster than I could punch to the head. Of course my hand technique sucks so that's not saying too much but allot of people thought I was pretty fast. Now I can barely fight for air.

TKD is mainly about the legs. I have done some tourneys and done very well. I spar 1-2 times a week to in light contact fighting ... although we hit pretty hard. I started training at 26, and still train at 31 ... It does get harder with the age. Now I rely on my brains more.

Take Care
