well... i usually want to learn one art at the time... and only do that art for a couple of years.. otherwise, i think, you start mixing all the differents arts and you will loose the true meaning of the art.

i mean: i really want to learn kendo, bojujutsu, tendoryu aikido, taichi quan, wushu... but first i have to finish my sword school (well, at least get past beginnerslevel ;-)) before i can learn a new system. it's about the essence, and i think you can't learn the essence on a few years... but that's just my idea about it.

but... it's really nice to see how many warriormonks there are.. i've always called myself a warriormonk, long before i knew or ever heard about perlmonks (or even before i was doing perl)... just because i'm pretty spiritual, i have a strong sense for justice, and martial arts form my existence... or maybe i'm just weird ;-)
