I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but martial arts and self-defense training and instruction take up most of my time, even more than my gun shooting/collecting. I've been in it for roughly 25 years, since I was 16. From ages 17 through 21 I did a bunch of tournament fighting throughout New England, wherever and whatever I could find to fight in - racked up a ton of trophies during those years, both shiny and black-n-blue. Jumped around at a few different schools until I found my current school almost 14 years ago. I turned 43 a couple of weeks back, but I'm still in it. It takes a special kind of crazy to stay in MA all your life. <thumbsup>
