Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mystic Eye" data-source="post: 385319" data-attributes="member: 711">I took Martial arts for over 15 years and still dabble from time to time. I studied Kendo/ Kenjitsu, Sebeka (rare art out of Egypt, used sometimes to train NATO forces in areas of the middle east, kinda like Shotokan-also known as Crocodile Spirit), Shotokan, and dabbled in a few others.I still try to keep limber and agile using Cardio Kick Boxing/ Tai-bo, Tai-Chi, and Palates (palates is not a martial art but has lots of Yoga style techniques in it, Palates is excellent). I still work my heavy bag a couple times a week, etc.I would love to try Aikido next but do not have the time.I took martial arts actually as a form of therapy originally, due to an injury I had where I shattered my femur bone in several places. Walking for a few years was difficult. My Sensei  at the time, Gamal Selim, was my Sebeka instructor. He was fantastic. Not only did he hold several black belts of varying degrees but he was a chiropractor and a homeopathic doctor. We went through some interesting cleansing rituals. Regardless, My bad leg is not bad anymore and is actually stronger than it was before the accident. The doctors told I would never walk right again. I proved them wrong to be sure and martial arts helped me to do that!</blockquote>
