			<description><![CDATA[ Earlier this summer as part of a two day defensive pistol course Steve Tarani taught us some unarmed techniques about how to deal with an opponent armed with a knife, club, or even a pistol.  It was great fun but in such a short time I'm not sure it was possible to cement the moves so that I could use them successfully if confronted today.  The bruises however lasted for about two weeks!<br><br>
Years ago I had some experience with Shito Ryo and Tikwando but I am small-boned so always came... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I took Judo at the local Boy's Club when I was around 10. Really liked it at first then it got in the way of hunting, fishing and horseback riding.<br>
When I entered Law Enforcement and Corrections I began to look for a martial art that would help me in the type of situatuions that I might find myself in. I quickly found out that knowing only one will get your <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :(|) --><img src=http://acetourer.i8.com/moon2.gif ALT=":(|)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->  kicked quicker... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ You're never too old to take up Tai Chi (Taiji).  Find a local taiji teacher and give it a month of classes to judge.  I bet you'll find yourself more flexible, and better balanced (both physically and mentally) if you keep up the practice.  Sure helps my slow motorcycle riding balance.<br><br>
I've been practicing Taiji for about  5 years, and didn't start 'till I was about 50.  I chose it because this is the only martial art that you can get better at as you age.  And, it may be viewed as... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I took Karate when I was a teen but partied much and trained little so I quit.  When I was in my 30's I trained pretty seriously.  Took twice as long to get my Black Belt but stuck with it for 8 or 9 years.  Quit when I was 41 because other obligations dictated how much time and effort I could give it.<br>
I learned a lot about myself and still try to stretch out and keep my balance but do I really miss training and testing myself.  Guess riding will have to do for now. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have a long-held fascination with the martial arts.  Ive dabbled briefly with a few different styles but never stayed long at any school because they werent what I seemed to be looking for in a martial art.  Finally, at age 47, I found a school teaching Togakure-ryu ninjutsu.  The style was a blend of jiu-jitsu, judo, ground grappling and some karate.  It was great.  I stayed at that school for two years struggling with my bad back and against the young guys  which was tough when we... ]]></description>
