What got you into martial arts ?

[Sage Gemini]

What got me into martial arts was legendary Bruce Lee. I was at a bookstore and saw a cool Bruce Lee's Fighting Method book. I bought it and was awe inspired. Then I started getting Bruce's movies and more of his books. He never ceases to amaze...

I used to do a lot of rock climbing and was told that taking some tai chi or yoga would help my concentration and flexibility - I joined a gym and enjoyed it so much that I started taking some more fighting-oriented stuff and never looked back.

inspirations from movies when i was a kid.. but i didnt train for real till i turned 20.. when i was invited into khmer freestyle... i used it as a way to help me quit my weed addict, it helped pretty much. now i want nothing more than competition and to defend myself down the street and to push myself to my limit.

My Grandfather got me started in ju-jitsu and Kosen Judo when I was 4. He was my first instructor. However, as a kid, I always thought the Bruce Lee movies were pretty cool.
