Hardcore Shaolin Training...

You know your gonna get owned when you have to do 75 pushups and 75 sit ups at the very END of an already tough session of kung fu... lol...

I bet you tomorrow, I will have trouble standing up straight lol... On the other hand, we learnt some nifty self-defence techniques today, like how to get people who like to bear hug you of your back and get our of arm locks, headlocks, and nugees lol...

yes... anyways... im getting rather hungry... and I smell lamb shanks...

Shaolin Grading in 2 weeks...

Just did my second lesson of shaolin kung fu tonight... and I just finished learning all the forms and techniques for the level 1 grading... but I'm far from perfect of course and apparently according to my friend, grading is in 2 weeks! I was hoping that I could be able to grade, but if it is that close then I don't think I can lol... a 4 week noob upgrading already sounds abit unlikely :P Otherwise I just have to be really pro haha...

o well :P

Shaolin Long Fist

Today, I started learning shaolin long fist kung fu. I reckon I picked up the basics pretty quickly since I did karate like... 5 years ago... but at least I still remembered all the basic stuff from karate haha. It shall be very interesting, hopefully I don't get too many bruises though :P Makes you think quick though, which is good :P An architect rarely has to think quick, they can take all day if they like. But martial artist only get a fraction of the second from seeing a punch and getting hit by the punch to decide what to do to it, so we think quick :P And I learn something practical, it grants me the ability to defend and protect which makes me feel... secure... to a point. At least I know that I will gain the ability to protect something precious and I won't die as easy trying :P although I don't intend to throw myself at life threatening situations anytime soon, at least I know I will be able to should the case call for it (and I hope it never does).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a violent person. I just like to be able to successfully defend something, and chose a martial art form that best suits my character :P
