Tae kwon do is the pointless martial art accroding to all my serious martial arts friends. It looks cool but since it focuses on kicking, it's high risk.

Next year I'm taking tai chi and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Eventually I want to learn akido or hapkido too,

That's their opinion.  You should give it a shot yourself instead.  There's more to TKD than high kicks IF you study TKD.

And what do you mean by "high risk"?

I was green belt.. my sister was purple or orange belt...
but I was like 7-8 belt away from black belt!

Although my school doesnt have a TKD club, one teacher has a TKD club at our local church. I've been cross training in TKD for the last year. i hold a yellow just because i've never tested and don't really care too.

I am also part of a group of guys that gets together to do some boxing, and I've been cross training in boxing for the past year.

And, this summer I started taking Graice Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu. I take 5 classes a week. I just got my first stripe on my white belt. And to the guy who wants to do BJJ, do it, it is awsome.

Also train a little with some wrestlign friends here and there although I suck at wrestling.

Exercise, self-defense, flexibility, strength...

Are you kidding me?!?

I think I quit cuz I wanted to be in the school band :P

I'm in it for sure because the instructors told me that I qualified...

So far, there's 3 black belts and 1 green belt..
