MARTIAL ARTS (aieeeyaaaaaa!!! - *smash* - oops)
I used to teach Chinese Kenpo.
I studied far enough to be a 2nd degree black.
It's been some years, I don't look clean as I did, but I can still do damage.
I practice a touch here & there, but I would like to start working consistently again.
I started when I was 21, now I'm 35.
It would be nice to start again in Kenpo, but Aikido or Kung-Fu would be interesting.
I like Kenpo, because it's a little of everything.
Hard & soft
Hands & Feet
Offensive & Defensive
Street & Technique
Practical & with some styling.
When I taught, I didn't like teaching the men
They wanted to become "Bruce Lee" too fast.
I liked teaching the women and children.
With the children, it taught them disipline
and you had to make a game out of everything to keep their attention.
With the ladies, I liked that it gave them confidence and power,
despite their insecurities or what society taught them.
