Why do we train ?

[J. Sheldon]

I started training in Uechi- Ryu when I was 29 under Rick Martin in Largo Florida, but as we all know sometimes life gets in the way and after a year of training I had to stop. I told myself that someday I would start to train again I started back when I was 40 but it was Shinto Yoshin Ryu Jiu Jitsu not Uechi. I trained hard and now at the age of 56 I feel that I am just starting to realize that my journey in martial arts is just starting . The more I am privileged to learn the more I want to learn .I train to keep my mind body and soul on the path or the way. I do not think that one system is better than another I feel that all can learn . Stay green and grow. The only absolute is that there are none. I would enjoy hearing from anyone who would like to talk about there training, and look forword to meeting new brothers and sisters in the martial arts
