My Introduction

[Caesar]

Hey everybody,

My name is Dante. I'm 22 and live in North Carolina. I actually don't practice any martial arts as of yet. It's something I'm interested in. Right now I've been boxing and lifting weights among some other things. I am interested in learning more about the martial arts and possibly studying them. I thought this forum would be a good place to learn some information about them before I make a decision. I look forward to being here.

Sincerely,
Dante

Welcome to MT, Dante! You picked a good place to start. Maybe we could help a bit or offer some suggestions if we know a little more about what you're looking for.

What intrigues you about the arts?
What do you picture in your mind when you imagine training?
What's available aroud your area?

That kind of stuff.

Hey,

Thanks for all the warm welcomes I received. I appreciate it. It is good to be here. I was looking for a good board where I could learn more about the martial arts. It's something I want to learn more about. I do want to find a good school to train at. I wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting myself into before I joined a place. Know what I mean.

I live in an eastern NC city called Greenville, where I attend school at East Carolina University.

I know there's are places that teach Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, grappling, and self defense.

Does anyone know of a site online where one can check to see what sort of martial arts schools in your area?

Basically I'm looking for something to help me stay in shape (I am pretty athletic-I love boxing, weight lifting, baskeball, running, swimming, etc.). Also I would like something to help me with self defense so I could defend myself or my loved ones if something happened. This area has been getting a lot more dangerous as gangs are on the rise. Also something that would help inspire me mentally and spiritually, give me inner peace, and make me feel better about myself, and so on. I know it sounds like I'm asking for everything.

Thanks again. I look forward to learning a lot here and getting to know you all.

Sincerely,
Dante
