Hi-

I'm new to the forums... and what might be called an 'out of practice practitioner'. :)

As time and money allows, I'm trying to see what styles are offered here in the northern Virginia area. I studied TKD for several years when I was younger, then did a couple years of muay thai about 3 years back. The Marines taught me some very basic hand to hand techniques via the MCMAP program (the only thing I really took away from it, at the tan belt level, was a blood choke).

It has, however, been awhile since I was in a school/class/club proper. My wife asked me once, why I enjoyed martial arts so much. I told her that a lot of people enjoy dancing, and martial arts were my choice of dance. :)

I feel the need to dance again.

Just wanted to stop in and say hi!
