Started in Go jin ryu Okinawan Karate when I lived in Okinawa (3 years), and also studied kendo/kenjitsu there.
When I got back to the states, I did Manchurian kempo for about 4 years. Extremely varied martial style, much like jujitsu, with grappling, throws, strikes, and some weapons. Got back into it in the 90s with tae kwon do, and did get my black belt in that in 2001. I did a lot of teaching, and was actually co-instructor a good part of that time. I wouldn't mind doing that again, but for now, I just work out on the heavy bag.
