Attitude survey - all answers welcome!!!

[amedia]

I'm trying to get a handle on how people feel about martial arts - it's one of the ways I can become a better ninjutsu teacher. If you can take a minute and answer these questions, I'd *seriously* appreciate it!

If you are into martial arts...

Before you got into martial arts, what did you think about it? What kind of positive/negative ideas or impressions did you have of it? What was the positive idea that finally prompted you to become active?

If you're not into martial arts...

What's your impression of martial arts? Both good and bad impressions are valuable to know about. Is there anything you've heard/seen about martial arts that makes you want to try it? Is there anything you've heard/seen about martial arts that makes you not want to try it?

panel thoughts & martial arts thoughts

[mamabeast.livejournal.com]

First ladies, grand panel, I learned a great deal & it reinfoeced the thought that plus sized women can be healthy, beautifully curvey & inshape

I took a semister of Tai Chi 3 years ago & while I enjoyed the class I was having travel issues & any good I got out of the class was gone by the time I got home

as for the more Martial Martial Arts of late my mian reason is off beat............. I'm very much in to this "doing MY THING" and as my one friend was taking classes with the town instructor I damn well wasnt going to. there is a new place opening up & I do plan on looking in to what is offered there (& was thinking of contacting you amdeia (sp) about things)

one of the things that I know would help me is the concentration & relaxion that can be learned in these disiplines & with my ADD & Depression both are desperatly needed

hoped this helped

I love this! I've read it several times and it makes me grin every time. :-D

Please do! Would love to help out in any way I can.

It's helped me and my son quite a lot (we both have ADD). He doesn't need his meds any more at all, and while I still need mine, I feel like I have things a lot more together.
