Off Topic: Learning A Martial Art

So has anyone here in the process of studying a martial art? Or at one point studied a martial art?

And if so which one? Like many young children my age, I loved Karate Kid. I thought this would translate into me loving actual Karate.

I was wrong. I quit after three weeks.

But I did study Muay Thai Boxing for almost three years. That was awesome. It’s a really physical martial art with heavy leg kicks, brutal elbows and it’s probably the most efficient stand-up Martial Art you can learn (as evidenced by its dominance in modern Mixed Martial Arts). I really enjoyed it and have no idea why I quit. Probably because I was a surly teenager and was too busy squeezing my spots into the nearest mirror. God knows…

Anyway, Martial Arts — let’s discuss!
