i started martial arts for all the wrong reasons, i was an angry angry child and just wanted a more "efficient" way to beat the ***** out of people. As ashamed as i am to admit it that was why, but through martial arts my reasoning changed for the better as well as my life.

Don't be ashamed about it. Plenty of people come to the arts to learn how to kick butt better - and not just children either. Usually if that is all they are getting out of it they leave, because they don't seem to learn fast enough. Three weeks of boxing lessons would probably help you in that regard more than three weeks of karate. In many cases, people find other reasons to stay, much like yourself - and they're the ones who stick it out.

Well I studied a bit ok Shotokhan when I was a kid, but never went too far with it. Then my son was born years later, he got hooked on Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles when he was 7 years old. So we looked around and tried a few styles until we found Kenpo. I joined cuz I fugured if he got good, he might try to kick my *** when he got older...hehehe
