I count Tai Chi!!! Some people do not rank in it though, depends on the type you are in. Rank is not really important though

I've taken a little Wing Chun Kung Fu, some Jeet Kune Do, some Jujitsu over the years. My brother got back into Kung Fu hard core after he left, does alot of meditation, he was always into Kung Fu, just didn't let anyone know. He also takes Jujitsu.
I am currently training for Kendo and Aikido! I have visited a dojo for each art and have tenatively decided to get into the Kendo first....it is the most vigorous and that is what I'm looking for. I plan to start classes in January once my strength and stamina are up. I am just a year out of my second open heart surgery....which is why I'm training before I start my classes. The sensei said that Kendo isn't for everyone...but I'm gonna give it my best.

Kenpro,
Martial arts.....playing with the demons, according to the WTS.
Our intire family of 4, have been taking a class, which deals with developing your on inner power. It really works. Saturday, Sept.28, 2000, we took our 6 month test. Out of 25 people, 15 of us had what it takes to continue. My hubby was in a wreck in 2/2001 and this class has helped him emmensely. I have memory problems since 2000 because of an auto accident and it has helped me to realize I had more problems than I realized. My son had his appendix out about 3 weeks ago and was able to run the 5 miles for our test......with ease. He ran it in 42:40. He was only outdone by one guy by 5 seconds. He returned to work a week after his surgery(not full capacity, but still working). Antoher young man (JW, not DFD yet) has had asthma all his life, been to the hospital too many times to count, almost dying so many times, no longer has any problems.
MERPATI PUTHI USA
This is the first time that Merpati Putih has been taught outside of Indonessia. The instructors have been involved with other martial arts for over 9 years and have competed nationally. One of our instructors, could hardly walk when he was introduced to MP. You can't tell he ever sufferred from his competetive martial arts.

For our test I broke 3 thick tiles standing up on the end. with no pain at all, then I broke two more tiles laying vetical, this is after the 5 mile run. If you hurt yourself we were shown a move that you can heal the engery yourself. These guys really only wanted to train blind people, by building your inner energy you can develop VIBER VISION. The blind can actually feel the closness of objects surrounding them......no more dogs to lead the way.
This is true, we've seen it in action and it is awesome. We were told if you are a hunter you prabably will not want to kill anything again, because you feel their energy diminish. I don't even want to kill spiders.
When we leave class after we have built inner power the lights on the streets are so bright and their clarity is so awesome. It has been a GREAT move for our family.
Check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The man I took lessons from was very heavy into "chi" and "ki" energy, so as a result "I am too!" Although, I have taken it further and applied it to all aspects of life. So I totally understand what you are saying.

I have always wanted to learn origami. Seems like it would be a lot of fun, and very artistic.
The merpata putih link didn't work for me. Here's another one. http://mpusa.50megs.com/Training.htm
