I felt I should post an intro post, so I don't turn out to be a lurker. Hate it when that happens.
I was searching the web for some martial art info and came upon here. ^^ I like the atmosphere about this place. Seems very informative and generous and helpful.
The reason why I chose to join was because I am seeking. For a years now, I've been trying to find a form of martial arts that I could look into and hopefully master. Call it a life goal, and when is a better time than when you're a young adult? My profile has my sad story of not finishing Tae Kwon Do. But now I seek to continue on elsewhere.
Something that really factors into my searching standards is my wanting to master a certain weapon. Friends of mine mastered blades, some archery, some wood-swords; for me...Double maces (hammers).
For a long time (at least a year?) I've been really interested in double maces. Tonfas also, but the double maces always got me. I have not much arm strength, so not only would I be using something I enjoy, but they will help train my arms as well. I'm really hoping to buy some, but I don't want to just BUY a weapon for flare and not know how to use it. That is why I decided to try and find a martial art that I could learn and be able to use my maces with.
Doing some research and then coming across your clarifying FAQs, the style of Escrima seems to be calling for me.
~~But that is why I come before you, of knowledge and experience. What style would you best recommend? What should I do to begin on my way? And if I go with Escrima, where do I start? (Note, I'm 19/f/Florida.)~~
Or, if you want, you can just bow back and say "^^ Hello." Thank you.
