2nd Black Belt
Hi guys and gals!
Sorry I've been out of the loop for a while. Long story short, I had something really bad happen, I moved to California, I quit kung fu, I descended into depression and alcoholism and heavy cigarettes smoking, I gained a ton of weight back. So that's the bad news.
The good news; I don't drink or smoke, and I'm back in classes working my butt back to true form. I'm now studying a MMA, "Kajukenbo". Doesn't even matter what it is, I'm excersizing and I'm practicing. Even though I lost the ability to do 50 push ups on my fingertips it appears I haven't lost much of my balance or technique.
My Sifu was aware that I trained before and how much, so he just sorta tossed me into classes and had a black belt work with me on refining the basics. The comment made was "It's clear you are already a skilled martial artist." This comment is part of why I feel remotely worthy of returning to Martial Talk. I'm a martial artist again, woohoo. Skilled, ehhh.. I'll get back to ya in 5 years on that.
So, anyhow.. My beloved toyota is gone along with pretty much everything I owned, so now I ride a motorcycle. I live in the East Bay in California where it never rains. If there are any martial talk members who live within 100 miles of Fairfield/Suisun get ahold of me. I need practice partners to kick my butt!
