Looking for post: Martial arts?

[hejinglan]

Hello, EED-ers.

I apologize that this is a little off-topic but I remember lurking around on some posts about exercise and in particular, martial arts. There was this one post that somebody made here on DW that had some really helpful/eloquently written advice on their preferences when choosing a martial arts school, but I can't find it now.
If anyone knows which post I am talking about, I would be very grateful to have a link or the username of the person who posted it so I can read it and pass the wisdom on to others.

Thank you so much.

In other news, these last couple of weeks have been a bit slow for me since I am trying to build back up from a week of inactivity thanks to some anatomical troubles, and the hot and humid tropical island I live on certainly does not help in the movement encouragement department, haha. Regardless though I've been finding a few opportunities to fit in workouts when I least expect it, which is nice.
Hope everyone is staying nice and cool and hydrated as the summer months approach (or bundled and warm for those in the Southern Hemisphere). ^_^

The advice on choosing a school is in the comments.

BINGO. That's the one. Thank you SO much. :D

That's actually really great advice. (Speaking as an ex-karate bum myself, one who has been many of the bad examples on that list.)

I'm not sure what the reasons are that you are studying martial arts, but I found this site useful.
