[Randy Strausbaugh]

I'm thankful that I was able to study martial arts at all. I've been blessed with excellent (and patient) instructors, who taught excellent systems. When I read some of the horror stories on the net, I thank my lucky stars and pat my wallet at the same time.

I am thankfull for all the martial arts "poineers" who brought all the different styles and beliefs here to America and across the world.

That I found the right school immediately. I knew nothing about what made a good school, and was fortunate to find the organization I have been with for 20 years. Yes, considering the horror stories I have read, I have truly fortunate.

I am thankful for my instructor and the many wonderful friends I've made while studying in his school. He's the best and has become a true friend! One of my friends was promoted to black this past weekend and he spoke of the sense of community in our school - it is really something to be thankful for. I am thankful for all of the awesome contacts and friends I've made here on Martial Talk. It is fun to learn here and very enlightening! I am also thankful for the sacrifices my family makes for me to be able to pursue my studies.

[Shodan]

First, I am thankful to God that I don't have any physical limitations that might restrict me from doing martial arts to the best of my ability. I am thankful that I had parents who didn't mind me pursuing my interests in martial arts back when there were not very many females in the arts. Also for their financial contribution up until I was out of the nest- they've funded the majority of my studies. I am thankful for all my past instructors and classmates who taught me things- tips, etc. Finally, I am thankful for my knee surgery doctor who made it possible for me to go back to what I love after blowing out my knee doing what I love!!

Good thread- thanks!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

I'm thankful for the past training I've received from various masters and enthusiasts that have helped me protect myself from real-world fights.
Thankful for the experiences and self-awareness that MA has given, and continues to give to me.
Thankful for the honors I've received through my MA associations that I've met several GM of various arts. The things I've learned from them and the pleasure of their company for the few moments I've been fortunate enough to have with them.
Thankful for the friends I've made and the friends I've made through them.
Thankful for the creation of MARTIAL TALK where all of us can get to know one another better and share our knowledge, strength, experiences and hopes together.
