My name is Dave and at age 54 I am currently enjoying a renewed interest in martial arts by training in Choi Kwang Do. Over the years I have tried and trained in various styles of Korean and Japanese martial arts most recently (11 years ago) gaining a brown belt in Wado Ryu and purple/white belt in Shotokan. I decided to stop all training for two reasons.
1. I was diagnosed with coronary artery problems.
2. I felt that most martial arts training were centred on sparring with competition being the main aim.
For me personally, I am finding that the syllabus in Choi, with its realistic approach to self defence, its yoga based stretching and all round approach to fitness and self development the ideal choice
