sick of getting beat up/? j/k, I did tae kwon doe when i was like 16. I used to compete alot, but I don’t remember shit 10 years later. Have fun but don’t expect any of it to be useful in a fight for years and untiol it feels natural. Your body will fight in the most natural way it can. ---

I took like 3 months of Tae Kwon Do when I was younger… wish I hadn’t quit. I’d like to take something like that again, never know when it might come in handy. ---

I took thai chi through school once… It was funny I had this little foreign guy that was good at showing us some moves. It helped me out with balance. If you speed it up with another person it actually shows you some martial arts, that was pretty neat. This guy was a hoot, he use to say that American people are so beautiful because we are one of the few countries with access to oranges! ---

_tai_ chi? the shit is pretty crazy from what i understand. it’s the soft counter part of kung-fu. i’m sure if one practiced both, serious damage could be done. a friend of mine studied both, and would blend some of his tai chi moves while sparring in his kung-fu class. he said he was able to do pretty well agaisnt some of the black belts this way, even though he was at a much lower rank. i’m taking a tae kwon do class this semester. it’s pretty cool, and keeps my ass off of the couch, atleast one night a week. where are you studying tai chi? sounds like fun, keep us posted! ---

My friend is a personal trainer and comes to my house on saturday mornings… so far i can say im actaully very impressed and the things i learned in the first 2 weeks are well worth 20$ a session and all i gotta do is get out of bed by 10… train till 12… practice/ till the next sat but anyway… i recommend this to anyone.
