I'm 18. I've been bullied for as long as I can physically remember, and the bullying was ALWAYS physical.
Daddio learned in one of the first kung fu schools established in Australia, and then he was sent to China to train with the Shaolin Monks for a while (he's got a certificate and all, so it's always good to wave it in the faces of people who watch too many kung fu flix!)
He started teaching me when I was 10 and since I lacked friends and money, I got to train.
After some serious personal events, I started training daily. That was when I was 12. From that point I started street fighting as well, it began once in a blue moon, one of my bullies would attack me out of school, till people tried mugging me or I would walk into bleedingly obvious confrontations. I had friends who were gang members and I was forever testing myself with friends and acquaintances of other systems, such as boxing, kick boxing, mma and different forms of kung fu.
By the end of it I was fighting in an underground pit and it's not as glorious as the movies made it out to be...Soon after though I got a girlfriend, and people at the local hobby stores heard of my exploits from one person or another and demanded I teach them.
The teaching and seeing a psych though is all quite recent though, last 6-7 months. I've learned so much in this time...I started painting miniatures and meditating a lot more, and so long as I stay calm, I have no nightmares, no flashbacks, and my martial skill actually improves. So I paint, and train, and the cycle continues until I get into Uni (WHICH IS HOPEFULLY SOON!)
...and that's about me.
UPDATE! I got into my Uni course! Wooo Philosophy!Interact

You have no master; you have no shifu, sensei or guru.
You have yourself, and every other warrior standing.
