When did your martial arts journey start?

When I was younger, I was a wimpy, nerdy kid so I got picked on a lot. One day, my parents told me that they had been talking about it for a while and they asked me if I would be interested in martial arts to help me out. I agreed. My dad and I spent a few weekends driving around looking at dojos. Most of them were closed when we came by. So we took to the internet and saw a positive review for a local dojo (whose patch I proudly display) along with its hours of operation. We drove down, watched a cl, and I fell in love. A week later, I signed up and I've been training there ever since.
