List your martial arts.
I stopped training in Tkd three years ago. At what point in time after you stop do you keep listing a martial art in your profile? Not only that but how long do you train in an art before you tell people you do it?

If you are currently training in an art, I would list it reguardless of the amount of time. Past arts are more personal. I think I stopped listing them when I received dan rank in the new art. Then I only list them when asked about my training.

Depends on the question. If the question is what arts have you studied, the answer might be different than what arts are you ranked in, or what arts are you current in, etc. Since the profile doesn't explicity say which question is being asked, you decide for yourself.

Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong

Of course but I can hide unseen in a mango grove, and jump out with a flying triangle, and throw shurikens, while drinking an Acie smoothie and calling you "My Friend." I just need to get some more subdued Bad Boy patches on my ninja outfit. Makes it much harder to hide. Originally Posted by Chrono
