This particular month is well known to us residents here in california as the month when all seniors across the state rush like mad to get their UC applications finished, UC = University of California. I'm one of them
Anyhow, I have a question:
I've taken martial arts for a few years but stopped about four years ago. Should I still put down martial arts in the extracurricular activities section, without mentioning that I quit?
Just give the dates. If you did it in high school at all, it's valid.

Yes, put it down, even though you did stop 4 years ago. It's an importan part of how you developed as a person. It's a great thing to put in your UC essay, as I should know...
Just remember, it can't hurt...
