Guys please dont make this is circus, I'm really curious what wisdom we can gain from having a couple of hundred people answer this with honesty. If there is a special place for polls ,let me know, if not lets do it here. Let me go first...why thank you sir.
Try to give just your top 3 reasons. And maybe a 1-2 sentence history of the arts you took. Newbies can just list the problems they are having at the moment.
Me:
I started training 30 yrs ago in Shotokan Karate. And travelled thru many Internal chinese styles settling today on Ju-Jitsu(aiki) and Silat. Will narrow it down shortly.
#1-In my mind 6 weeks is like 6 months, so I was always getting bored and going to another teacher. I guess I have A.D.D.
#2-I have chronic low back pain/injury for 30 yrs and insomnia and cannot deal with arts where cardio is as important as principals and tactics.
#3-When the Internet came out, and I bought my first PC at age 38, that was the time I should have nailed one system down and devoted my life too it but all the wonderful teachers I met left me feeling bored with the class. And then I fell into a hole in the Internet and forgot you cant be searching for women and training at the same time. Then I moved to Florida 10 yrs ago and had to start looking all over again. Im 55 now, I better be sure this time.
