Why did you get into Martial Arts?
I originally became interested in martial arts because I was exposed to Bruce Lee and Jim Kelly, even though I could tell he really couldn't do the moves lol. I didn't start taking martial arts until some time later when a family friend that instructed Judo Mr. George Edmonds Sr. asked my father to allow him to teach me. I didn't stay in Judo for too long, because I had not learned to accept losing and was unable to handle a loss at an important meet. I started Tae Keon Do in high school and have pretty much been training since in some form or fashion..
