I've mentioned a number of times in the past that I love Mixed Martial Arts and now I am finally getting into it. I have to modify my school schedule in order to join to the MMA school that I'm planning to attend. When I was younger I used to take Shotokan Karate for around 3 years and even after that, I remained interested in martial arts and all forms of styles including grappling, boxing, kickboxing, etc.
I am currently scheduled to take 5 classes during this semester of college, totaling 15 credits. In order to stay fulltime, a minimum of 12 credits is required and I will be dropping one class to give myself more time. The class that I am dropping will free up A LOT of time and will allow me to do more things. I will have all morning and afternoon classes with Thursdays free.
So yes, this is big change in my life. In the past, I've always concentrated on school first, but now I realized how important it is to cater other things too, especially at my age. I also mentioned in the past that getting my Driver's License was one of the items on my 2008 Resolution list. I'll keep you guys updated with how all these things develop.
Question for you: Are you taking any sort of Martial Art now, or have done so in the past?

Hey Lasha, glad to hear you will be on the road very very soon.
Marshal arts - very impressive, I have taken a month in TIGER SCHULMAN Karate, some time ago, loved the part where i could kick my master around. Helped with my aggression at that time. Wish i could go back to it, but for now I'll stick to running.
Hi Lasha,
I have been taking Karate for little over four years now. I normally take three to four classes a week and assist with classes for eight hours or more per week.
If there is one thing that I can say has changed my life,it is taking Karate. I have met so many good people and developed close friendships during the last four years, that I cannot believe it. I have also gotten into the best shape of my life and even though I have been lifting weights and working out for over 30 years now, Karate has brought my a set of six pack abs.
Just learn as much as you can, train hard and don't try to progress faster than you should. I am still working on fixing some bad habits that I picked up when I started Karate. Most of all, have fun.
