Mmmmm. Sounds good. I had a cup cake. Pretty soon some cup of noodles.

Darn ... I'll be starting my diet again soon. I had lost 17 pounds, then my back went out and I gained back 10 of it.
It's not a diet for me, just a security guard's choice of a cuisine on a 3rd shift.

Wasn't thinking of it as you being on a diet, just reminded me that I need to get back on one.
I need to start one, and workout, and cardio, and attempt MA training again, and....Boy the ands pile up after awhile don't they!

No kidding ... LOL ... I'm doing mostly kung fu these days in my training. I'm teaching Kempo still.
Cool! What style of kung fu? Who's your teacher?

Learning a mixture at the moment. Same teacher for my Kempo, he is also the West Coast representative for Fu Jow Pai under GM Wai Hong.
What do you think of the tech's so far, as opposed to kempo's? At least in terms of functionality over looks?

The techs are all within the forms and to be honest, to see them done by me isn't all that impressive. To see them done by my instructor, well, my jaw drops open. What it is doing for me is making my Kempo better. It is teaching me how to use my entire body.
You do notice the translation over to kempo when doing it? I mean the kung fu "shows up" without thinking about it?

Well, what I hear is from my students that tell me that I move much better than I did even a year ago. Yes, for the most part, it is done without thinking. Some of the change may simply be from experience, who knows.
At least it's improvement. The Kung Fu aspect can be very difficult.

That's the truth, improvement is what we all strive for. Yes, the kung fu is tough. I look at it this way, I continue to learn, whether it be physical, or simply a concept. Once I grasp the idea, I take it and revisit my material. Things don't always look the same after applying the new concepts and experience ...
I wish I had what you got sir! Truly. :asian:
Hey Terry. My sympathies. Especially when it's close to the time for waking up-lol.
