I am a walker and I learned recently that in times of great stress I stop exercising. I find it very difficult to get back to the same level I was before. I am still stuck in denial that I am that out of shape. Anyhow, I always loved martial arts. I never actually took classes or tried it. But I have been watching the movies since I was a child. During my non-exercise years I got into Japanese anime which is ,if you squint your eyes, pretty martial artsie, at least the ones I watch. There is something about the control of ones self that I find very appealing.
