Hello all!

 

[14 Kempo]

Another friggin' awesome Shaolin Monk show. The crowd was very pleased.

Hello all!

Hello HS

Hi 14K. It was a great show huh? Awesome! Did you get to participate? (considering the back issue)

I did not. We had very little student participation in the beginning, just some basics from the kids, then a couple forms from instructors. I was doing OK warming up, but once I began swinging the horse knife around, well the twisting was aggravating the back.

 

[Hand Sword]

Damb! That's a shame. Well, did you get to ingest anything covered and try out at a later time at least?

No, not personally, but another one of my instructors did, so I can leach off of him.

Let me see if I can recount. On top of the normal breaking and stuff, we saw Monkey, Pole, Rope Dart, Nunchaku and Kwon Dao. Watching him transform into Monkey then back out was amazing. They do that with each animal, but Monkey is the most obvious transformation that I've seen ... awesome.

That's cool. Speaking of which, are you feeling better now?

Hurting a bit. If I had been asked to do some self-defense, I could have performed, but the twisting within kung fu based forms was just too much.

 

[Hand Sword]

That's alright then. That's what you'll want to be able to do, if anything, especially since those skills will be at the worst case scenario. The forms you can always get later.

Yep, I can still protect myself, if needed ... LOL ... that's the name of the game. I don't take anything away from the kung fu forms, learning them is doing nothing but improving my kempo. Former students, that haven't seen me in a year or two, are amazed at the difference in my movement and delivery of power. At least that's what they tell me.

 

[Hand Sword]

That's great. You give me inspiration!

 

[14 Kempo]

That's great. You give me inspiration!

I like it ... thanks.

 

[Hand Sword]

Now, if I can just get that inspiration to become action again after such a long time. Back to baby steps--Yet AGAIN!

Ya know, whether it's for the first time, or the hundreth time, we all gotta start somewhere.

 

[Hand Sword]

Very true!

 

[14 Kempo]

I guess we could put a positive spin on it. If a person never starts anything, the chance of failure or setback deminishes.

Can't sleep and the back is killing me.
