Just saying hello

[bluekey88]

Hello all,
Just joined the forum. The name's Erik. Currently studying TKD, have past experience in Aikido, Goju ryu karate and kung fu. My training is currently on haiatus due to blowing my knee out (torn ACL) and recovering from the surgery. In the meantime, I cruise the MA boards to feed my martial arts fix

When not learning to kick high, I work as a clinician specializing in the treatment of children with mental retardation and behavior disorders. I have a wonderful wife and four kids (the wife and 3 of my kids train with me).

Talk to y'all around.

Peace,
Erik

Welcome to Martial Talk! Glad to have you here. It is great to be able to train with your wife and kids. I also have 4 kids but only 2 of them are old enough to formally train. My wife also trains and it is just a great family activity. Hope to read more from you.

Welcome, and happy posting! :wavey:

And I thought my job required patience... I'm a special ed teacher, but I work primarily with kids with learning disabilities. More power to you!

welcome fellow tae kwon do'er. I am here to tell you I understand Knee issues. However, do not fret....I have a dan in judo and currently train in hapkido and tae kwon do, so I can say that training tkd has been a god send for my knees.

See you in the kma boards.

Greetings, Erik, and welcome to MT—it's good to have you with us (and always nice to have another KMA practitioner on board, especially someone with as varied a MA background as you have). Here's to a speedy recovery from your injury—happy posting!

Good to have another newer member (as myself). Studied hapkido also, and knees finally did me in (but I was in my 40s:shock: ). Know you'll do better. Happy training.
