Who got martial arts presents for Christmas?

[KenpoGirl]

My girl friend, who likes to work with wood, made me two arnis sticks, out of maple dowling, stained and sanded and wraped in red suede for hand grips. On one she burnt my Name in Asian Script on the other she burnt "KenpoGirl" and positioned it so when I was using it you could see the name coming right at you. Wayyyyyy Kewl!!!!! Wasn't expecting it at all.

Hey now, I'm not that small. It's the camera angle, yeah, the camera angle.

Actually I am very excited. I've wanted to learn sai for about 5 years and now I finally have the chance.

And my goal is to try and not accidentally poke myself with them. My biggest fear is accidentally dropping one on my foot.

Very exciting though. We got them at a pretty good price too. (Yeah, I picked them out myself, my parents don't know anything about the MA's and have no interest in learning.)

Sai practise will do wonders for your shoulder, grip and wrist strength.

Got some books
got some DVDs
got another kettlebell
got my biggest wish...
I'm going to be a father:boing2:

I found a pregnancy test in my stocking (cap on for those of you with sick minds). At first I thought it was a thermometer and that my wife was sick or something....

so I guess my best present is MA related after all, in about 15 years I'll have a sparring partner!

Congratulations!

Your sparring partner may happen in less than 15 years, if he starts really early in MA.

Congratulations!

I teach my 13 y.o., but he doesn't qualify as a "sparring partner" yet!

Congrats to you!!!

And no you don't have to wait 15 years to get yourself a training partner. My little girl started in the MAs when she was 7, and now 7 more years down the road, and half of her life later we're still going strong. My daughter is my favorite training partner, she never quits. Talk about heart. I've tried to get her into other activities, but she only wants to continue in the MAs, go figure... :asian:
