So far, having read all the READMEs and poking around some of the main forums, this is a great place to obtain and share information on martial arts. Best forum I have seen so far. Thanks.
As a way of introduction, I recently passed my first degree BB test in Hapkido after three years of training. I really love Hapkido, but have recently supplemented it with separate MMA class (kickboxing and BJJ) at the same school. I know there are more intense MMA schools in my area with full contact sparring, etc., but I'm 50 years old now and mainly looking to get in better shape (cardio, strength, speed, coordination). And I really like my Hapkido teachers (5th degree, 4th degree and 3rd degree) as well as the other Hapkido and MMA students at this school.
