To start i will tell you a little about myself and why I'm doing this blog.
I have been training in Martial Arts since i was a kid. I saw one of my friends in his Karate class and i was hooked. So i asked my dad if i could start. He loved the idea and took me to look at different schools in the town i grew up. We stopped into one school and i noticed it had the Korean flag placed by the US flag. I was hooked. And at the age of six I started training in Taekwondo.
Since i started my training i have been fascinated and curious about Martial Arts. From a young age i realized the root purpose of Martial Arts was fighting. Wether it is to protect yourself or someone you care about, or used to over power another person, Martial Arts is a tool to fighting. Though in the end it is not taught that way, or promoted that way in today's world. More schools are promoting exercise, health, character building, and sport. Don't get me wrong i agree with all aspects about Martial Arts, but this blog is to start going back to the root and redeveloping my thoughts on what Martial Arts is and what it should be used for.
So i am going to be exploring the various different Martial Arts in our world. Some that are well known and others that are not. All though, helping to learn about the core of Martial Arts so we might be able to add, change, create, and preserve the Martial Arts for future generations.
