  <title>Berner&apos;s introduction</title>
  <link>http://community.livejournal.com/ma_furs/715.html</link>
  <description>Well it&apos;ll be a while before this community picks up, if it picks up at all. But either way, I&apos;m not looking for glamour or popularity points here, so however big or small it gets, doesn&apos;t matter to me any way :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay introduction time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I live up in Canada and I&apos;m not taking anything right now. It&apos;s been a while before I&apos;ve taken anything but I&apos;ve been thinking about getting into something, most likely it&apos;ll be some variety of MMA. For a few years I took Shaolin Kempo Karate. It was through Fred Villari studios and it was a generic mix of Kempo Karate and Five Animal Style Kung Fu, along with some Ju Jitsu thrown in to round it all out. I took that way back in my high school years and got to 3rd kyu brown belt. I really enjoyed the kung fu side of it the most and seemed to be more geared towards Crane techniques than anything, since I&apos;ve always been more of a defensive martial artist, not to mention I&apos;m pretty lax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But anyways, I started all that when I was 14 but then my instructor moved on to persue other interests and I just didn&apos;t really like the new instructor we got. So I spent the next few years going from style to style trying to see if there was anything out there to catch my interest until I found &quot;Systema&quot;. So I did that for a little bit, but unfortunately it was right around the time where I had to find a job, so I didn&apos;t have the time to persue my interest through Systema aka: Russian Martial Art.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;d probably get back into it if there was an instructor closer to home, so I figure until then, my Systema days are over. So it&apos;s time to start looking for something else and I have my eye on a couple of options.</description>

  <title>Welcome!</title>

  <description>Hello martial art furries and martial art furry fans :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the martial art furry live journal community. If you&apos;re into the martial arts and you&apos;re a furry, then by all means you&apos;re welcome here. I made this community up as a way for the seemingly large volume of furries who take a martial art to be able to come here and share their common interest with other furry martial artists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My best suggestion if you&apos;re the new guy and you want to get to know people, would be to make an introduction. Tell us about yourself and which martial art you&apos;re into, or even a fan of if you&apos;re not taking anything. If you are doing something, feel free to tell us how long you&apos;ve been doing it. If you have suggestions for other users, feel free to mention those too :)</description>
