well, i have almost no experience with any martial arts, beyond a month or two of okinawan (sp?) karate, a couple of tae kwon do hyungs (learned from books), and a basic understanding of tai chi (oh, yeah, a couple falls & a couple wrist/arm locks from aikido). i'd personally be interested in being exposed to different disciplines to see what might further interest me, although i'm positive i'd like to learn tai chi as a meditative/energy practice. i'm pretty much open to experiencing any of it, though.
