Jonathan S. Ross Well, since this group seems dormant, for those of you who joined, are you practicing martial artists? What system(s) or style(s)? What led to your interest in the martial arts?

I've always considered going back because when I practiced martial arts I was in the best shape of my life. If I were to consider taking up a new style would you have any good recommendations?

While I have my own personal opinions on styles and systems which I believe to be more ground in reality or the needs of today when it comes to effective self-defense (if this is a reason why you are training to begin with -- and for some people, this isn't the case!), there are good and bad instructors in virtually every discipline. My own personal choices are focused on Krav Maga and Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu (as taught by William Chenug via Yip Man's lineage), but I'm fortunate to have been able to access quality instruction. Most reputable dojos/kwoons/training academies will allow you to watch a class, if not take a free one, and speaking to current students about their experiences may help in your selection process.

Alan Schwartzseid Welcome everyone. Thought it would be interesting to see how many professionals are into the martial arts, whether MMA or a specific art.
