I got tired of biting my finger at my desk, so I decided to ask if anyone here was a martial artist. Wasn't sure whether to post in Japan related. I'm a noobie, so I don't have any lofty titles or anything.(3 months karateka) Anyway, if you have any interest in the martial or are a martial artist, talk here, I guess...
Messed up on the title.

I'm interested in martial arts, but there's nowhere in my town that teaches any kind of it (or any kind of self defence at all for that matter). How'd you get into it?

Organization? called kizenryu and there's a branch called kzrpr that has dojos all over the island. But you know, you don't need a dojo with the sensei and the disciples and all the bells and whistles. It's hard to learn any martial art without a proper instructor, but you can use texts. You won't get any titles or belts or ranks, but that doesn't matter, you can't measure a fighter's worth with those. Also, martial arts are for defence, but they aren't always used for such. Sometimes they're sport or practiced for self cultivation.

I used to do tae kwon do for a while, but I don't remember much of it anymore. Kizenryu sounds interesting!

I did judo when I was younger. I'm not particularly 'into' martial arts, being more of a yoga and meditation kinda gal myself, but the style of judo really complements me somehow. I've forgotten almost everything, but (as everyone I know who's done judo seems to say) some things come back instinctively when I am fun fighting. I sometimes consider getting back into it, especially as my language exchange partner is a black belt, but there is just so much other stuff I want to do with my already limited free time.
Oh and for anyone it means anything to, I was orange belt when I quit (4th kyu), I think ^^
