    i start this thread because i'm intrested to know what was on your head.i became a martial arts fan back in 70s watching kung fu tv series with carradine.as a kid i think that was some kind of magic behind all this,and thats why my first MA was a tradditional shaolin kung fu.

    hmm.. at school i was kind of at the recieving end of the 'playground hegemony'. I took up shotokan karate shortly after that. I moved to wado kai later on, but i didnt have much success at either. I find karate in general quite boring.

    I now do budo taijutsu which i find both confidence inspiring and interesting.

    I always liked boxing, then I watched a few JAckie Chan films and from then on loved all forms of MA.
