how did you learn your martial arts style?

[Yajirobe]

I am just wondering...i mean most of you know martial arts (duh) but how did you learn???

[Budokan]

From an instructor. No, really, that's how I do it.

[wushu chik]

I got mine off of CD roms and vid games. That's the best way to learn, everyone's doing it now...just ask Ralek. He's the king of vid game BJJ!!!!

Some dude named Morpheus put me in a chair, stuck a needle in the back of my head, and downloaded it all into my brain. I woke up and said "I know kung fu!". :D

Moved to San Francisco chinatown, slept on the floor of the school, ate rice and chicken from the small resturant next door and leanred from a chinese master. true story.

I was born with super human powers.

[SanHeChuan]

I went to a hypnotist and did past life regression and got in touch with my pervious lives when I already knew kung fu. OR maybe I just went to class, and like learned from someone who knew that taught me, and then I like practiced and stuff.

This is actually, IMO, a very interesting question. How does a person learn martial arts...

I think the secret, which really is no secret, is self discipline. This skill leads to the development of all other skills. Everything else in martial arts is open to personal choice (school, style, etc), but not this.

So..how did I learn martial arts? By having the self discipline to constantly train, rest, and train again.

It came with the territory. I became proficient in Run Fu Run, and Ghetto Fu! But I picked most of that from off the street.:p

I learned Kung Fu by Kwai Chang Kane.

Or some instructor about 3 miles from my house (until I quit `cause I am moving).
