Hello

[jda]

This is my meet and greet. I don't know if I'll be posting much, but I lurk a lot. My name is Jim Annand and oh God, I am in my late 40s. I just got my 2nd dan in WTF TKD (12/20/2009),at a smallish school here in the St. Louis area. I've been training since 1999 two or three times a week in class and almost daily at home. I help teach the class with three or four other instructors although I feel that I am still learning. We spar a lot, practice techniques, self defenses, and do forms. The forms are my favorite. Our class runs from 10 to 35 students who range in age from 5 to 60. I am a carpenter by trade and sometimes I even work, especially lately. I don't know what else to say, but I'm enjoying the forum.
Thanks,
Jim Annand (jda)

Good to know you Jim. I`m 43 and the son of a carpenter (I spent alot of summers framing houses as a kid.) so you`re not alone.
