greetings everyone. i have always been interested and fascinated with the martial arts. although i regret not starting at an earlier age, im currently 24. i have only taken introductory classes and only watched demonstrations. i do however, would like to learn and grow mentally and physically in martial arts. i was wondering if anyone could share his/her thoughts on reputable schools/dojos where i live. i'll be working and commuting between lancaster to york(work). i do hope to be more involved in this forum as i learn and have questions. TIA

Welcome to Martial Talk. Sadly, I can't help you out with schools in your area. But I'd recommend you talk to anyone & everyone in your area (school owners, students, former students, etc.) about what the schools are like & what they offer. The better informed you are, the better able to make a choice that's right for you.

Welcome.....A big part of this site and it's forums are discussions based around questions. Plus, everyone for the most part is helpful.

thank you for the notice icemansk. sorry i forgot to mention the state, lol. im in pennsylvania. i was looking at a school on hapkido, but that fell through since distance is out of the way. i took a class on tai chi. only learned the first 12 steps out of 10x steps lol. that was a fun and very concentrative class. i also watched and sorta looked into a friend's style based on japanese jujitsu-he called it oceanjitsu-or something close to that.

i always fancied learning the techniques of defensiveness and evasiveness; so that if my life is either indangered or threatened i can rely on instincts and reflexes over thought. something like aikido or hapkido would be something i would like to get into first, then once i feel comfortable would also take up, either at the same time or afterwards, learn grappling and offensive stances
