Hello all!
I'm new to MT, but I've been lurking for just long enough to know that, unlike many other site, MT's introductions subforum is lively and well-populated. Perhaps you are tired of hearing the introduction following introduction, so I crave pardon from you all for what is about to follow.
Hi! I am a young (21 years on this earth) but moderately experienced martial artist, I'd like to think. My primary and original art is Tang Soo Do, in which I hold a 3rd dan. I've spent time training in a number of martial arts, and was most recently part of (and most profoundly affected by) a small but wonderful dojo containing several masters of many arts who train closely with the hardworking students. In just a few years there I was introduced to many new martial arts by some very amazing masters, and received intense but rewarding training. Towards the end of my time there, an end brought about by necessary circumstance, I had the privilege to be an assistant instructor for roughly a year, and experience which I found to be challenging and enlightening.
Sorry for the earful -- I say all this only in hopes of beginning to place myself in the midst of your community.
