I’ve been taking Judo and Long Fist for the last couple of months now. I’m enjoying learning how to strike in Kung Fu, but I’m really enjoying the Judo overall.

:( 2 months ago

Ok I totally stopped working on this. I got really busy and lazy. But the truth is i really didn’t enjoy the dojo that much. It was very hard for me to make myself go because i didn’t have much fun there. I don’t think it was the people. It might have to do with the distance and everyone else there was a lot more competive then me. Gotta find a new dojo but i am not giving up on this.

I'm Not Wimpy I'm Just a Wimp 4 months ago

I’m 6’6”, 300lb. I’m not strong and have difficulties just moving about. The reason I want to learn a martial art is to be healthier and learn to be disciplined.



Learn a martial art#4 4 months ago

I was going to give up this goal, but I just couldn’t. I’m glad I didn’t give it up.

Yesterday I finally went to the san-da class AGAIN. I had a good time there.

I think I have to adjust my lifestyle to make me able to attend the classes. This thought makes me feel bad, I mean, I have to adjust my whole week activities to be able to go to the 2-hour-a-week class. But I guess I’d better do that. I liked exercise so much when I was healthy and active, and now I still love exercise. I have to do my best to reach this goal.

Reduce other activities and even spend less time reading books if necessary. Do exercise every day but be careful not go too far. And such.

We all know how to be healthier, we just lack the motivation. Busy life and bad health drag us back again and again. Well…don’t give up!



Learn a martial art#3 5 months ago

I’ve skipped 2 classes.

It was fun to learn San-da and I consider it a mild exercise. Most of the students there are office workers. They exercise only once a week there. So we spend one hour just to warm up and another hour to adjust our poses. Do kicking and punching by ourselves. No match fights.

But I’m still unable to attend classes every week. I’m so disappointed. A friend of mine said I should try yoga instead of san-da. But I like dancing and kicking & punching more.

Very sore now though
