Kravmaga (Israel), Kali (Philipines), etc etc etc I particularly admire the art of Taekwondo, (pure self-defense); Kravmaga, (CQC); and Kali, (stick-fighting);

               SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING has always been my childhood desire. I have a Purple Belt in TAEKWONDO the Korean (art of hand & foot) &
               would like to practice & earn a Black Belt in this Martial Arts. I am also interested in getting familiarized with Aikido, the
               Japanese art of (pure self-defense); KRAV MAGA, Israeli art of (close quarter combat); & Kali, Filipino art of (stick-fighting);

               The famous English poet Sir William Wordsworth, had once remarked, " If your wealth is lost in life, nothing is lost; If your
               character is lost, then something is lost; and If your health is lost, then everything is lost." A very true statement indeed. 
               Bearing this in mind, I have started to exercise, like old times, at a local health club and Spa, for men and women of all ages. 
               It is called the '24 Hour Fitness'. I have always exercised at the YMCA Springfield, ILL thrice a week, for 1/2 yrs every 5 yrs  
               or so. But somehow, I always have had, to quit going to the gym; due to work-schedule or being just plain busy because of other
               extra curricular activities. I wish that I could go to the gym to exercise; 5 times per week uninterrupted for the rest of my 
               life ! Wouldn't that be lovely; If I could perform my sit-ups / push-ups / pull-ups regularly every day ???  

               I have always had a very slim & athletic figure and have never had an excessive weight problem. But during the 1990's, 
               I accumulated about 15 pounds, of fat, principally around my abdomen, as I had quit smoking. This desire to shed this weight  
               & have a firm stomach, has compelled me to start to exercise regularly. I have started some light-weight training, with the 
               hope that someday I will have a strong, lean, muscular, V-shaped body !! I hope, I get to achieve it.
