I did not do any martial arts...my brother has his 1st degree black belt. He still has his bo staff in his room.

I do ninjutsu with my friends...Aikiken and meditation. For me meditation belongs to martial arts. For my friends it's boring stuff ^^

OK I blame this thread - I dreamt last night I was a ninja! Now I wish I was. Sometimes my husband calls me a ginger ninja. Only half of it is true though. And it's not the ninja part.

I took karate for a few years when I was in high school, but then I had to stop at red belt when I moved away for college.... I'd been meaning to go back to martial arts ever since then, but never quite got around to it until now! Today was my second Togakure-Ryu Ninjutsu class, and it was extraordinarily fun. It felt so good to be back in action after seven years of relative inactivity! Plus, my gi is black. Way cool.

Seriously, if there are any other Bostonites reading this thread who want to try some ninja action, I'd highly recommend the dojo I just started at.

OMG, I just had a dream I was a ninja too!! And in my dream...I kicked some serious ass!

To the topic, I have never done any martial arts classes, but always wanted to for self-defence purposes. But since I am not going to any classes, I rely on my training in Voltron's art of ballsjitsu (although I am not the skilled master that Voltron is) and my sweet Batman purse. Yes, I am 29 and have a Batman purse as my day to day purse. People look at it and go "is that a Batman purse?" so that's when I nod and beat the unsuspecting bullies with my purse, which is very heavy
