My Mom tried having me take taekwondo classes when I was in 3rd grade...but I don't think I was really into it. Even though there was a tinge of a bully issue going on back then I didn't care for taekwondo.

The only thing I do that's involved with martial arts now is the History's Strongest Disciple manga.

...funny,is that how several people really start getting involved with martial arts? Because of a bully...?

It's kind of useful if you're seen as this tiny vulnerable perosn, have stalkers, or just want to learn it for the sake of learning it(kind of like some people taking swimming lessons to prevent drowning in the future).
We've all got our own reasons, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it unless they were planning to actually hurt/kill someone preemptively.

Used to do karate and Greek wrestling. Can't say I was a champion at either of these. :P

Got forced into Taekwondo when I was very young (maybe 7 years old), got a green belt in that \o/
Then I did a semester of Aikido in college, but only because my alternative choice was golf... figured pretending to beat people up on the safety of gym mats would be more fun than golf. Passing a kidney stone may have actually been more fun than golf.

Wait, you had kidney stones? D:
Also I did golf in high school, but it was boring... I guess better than football or basketball, though, since nobody would scream and yell at you during golf.

Does Tai Chi count? I remember doing that in high school. It was probably one of my favorite PE activities since it didn't involve exhausting us...
