There is a Hapkido place down the street and after a year of driving past it in different directions, I finally stopped by and checked it out. Everything looks good, seems to be organized okay and they know about my old Hapkido School, as well as my old Grand Master, so they're willing to let me keep my status as a brown belt (although I'm thinking of going one or two belts lower so I can remember everything again). As it turns out, four ACCD girls are over there... all Korean and all of them named 'Jin'. Whoopeee!!! X_X;;

The Chief Instructer also said that they'll let me keep it slow for a bit since I'm horribly out of shape, which is good =D AND because I'm Korean, they'll give me a nice fat discount! SWEET! I can be healthy again!

Not really looking forward to excercising, still worried about the homework load as well as money, and thinking about finals because I'll end up skipping classes, but two-three times a week for about half an hour each time, I should keep up with it. Yeah. As long as i don't have to spar... but that's required. BUT at least I'll be matched up with people who are my level and are my height, which is good. No little kids. Good. YAY!

...what's your problem with sparing? I was never good at forms and other stuff, and a lot of the time I didn't like going to karate, but I do remember that I always looked forward to Wednesdays, because that was when we all spared. Team fighting rocked...

Oh, at my old place, they put me to spar with a black belt (who is known for challenging the chief instructer in authority, thinks he's a major bad ass, and refuses to control his strength) and he nearly broke my nose >=( It was swollen three times the normal size and I could turn it from side to side >=F

I used to study Hapkido. You're the only other person I've ever met who knows of it. :)

Had to drop out due to back problems right before the blue belt test, which I would have gotten.
