What do you like about it so much?

Self confidence and self awareness.
Like every guy, I walked into the dojo thinking I was a bad-***. Within the first month,I realized just how wrong I was. There are people on this planet who can go through you like the proverbial hot knife through butter. It is a very humbling experience.
Dear hood whatever your name is ... you do not belong in a dojo.

If the mind/body/spirit is a lump of un-refined metal ore, the dojo is the forge, the training is the anvil and the Sensei is the blacksmith.
You start with the chunk or ore and, with effort and time, end up with something far more than a boring rock.
People are born the lump or ore. With work, they become the sword.
Its ironic the best swords never have to be drawn at all. This paradox is the best part of martial arts training in my opinion.

The people!!!
From all walks of life, from all professions, of all ages, all sizes, etc.
All these people take martial arts for their own reasons, be it exercise, coordination, self-control, a night out with like minded people, or thinking it is a cool thing to do. All these reasons are bang on!
In a good dojo with a good sensei, you will train with these people, spar with these people and sweat with these people while forging bonds of respect for these people.

Justin: you give me the warm fuzzys... do you slow motion run into your dojo to the song "chariots of fire"?
the greatest thing about it is that you stop judging books by covers because the fact I know things means others do too. but Justin, you gave yourself away.

Being able to walk around confidantly knowing you might have to kick some *** around the next corner you turn. It's nice not having to leave in fear of people wanting to fight you/beat you up, even if you've done nothing to offend them.
