I practiced Kung-Fu for about 4 years when I was a kid, and then came back for another 5-6 when I was in my teens. I'm 22 now, been out of practice since I was 18 and left for college. Made 2nd kyu brown belt, and was moderately leet. I really don't think I was as good as I could/should have been, but I'm a lot more confident walking around Chicago (IIT is in the middle of a rough neighbourhood), since I can hold my own in a fight and know a few magic striking points.
I want to get back into martial arts, probably with jiu jitsu. Additionally, I'm still entertaining notions of joining the Illinois Fencers' Assoc. and learning to fight with a foil. Katanas were never really my thing, plus I'd like to learn a Western martial art that's a little more refined than the classic Irish bar brawl technique which, while in my blood, doesn't necessarily look as pretty as fencing.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
