Learn a martial art#4 2 weeks 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!

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.

Krav Maga 1 month ago

So after moving away from my old school. I decided to try something different and went along to Krav Maga class. Very different from what I’m used to but I really enjoyed it.

Very sore now though

Went to the sanda class 2 days ago. I had fun there, although I had difficulty follow the master. I practiced what I’ve learned at home these 2 days. Hope to be better next class.

Looking around 1 month ago

Well, after looking around in town at my choices of martial arts, I’m not sure what I want to do. There’s a few karate places (seems pretty cliche), a Tae Kwon Do place…but their website seemed, well, a bit heavy on how helpless you are unless you train with them, a Kung Fu place who’s website looks like it just might be out of business now, a few mixed martial arts places, but those guys seem much more interested in just fighting, this will be a difficult search. I was also interested in a nearby Tai Chi center near me, but at 34 I’d apparently be the youngest person there, by about 20 years…guess I’ll keep looking around.

Why? 2 months ago

There is nothing cooler than having the power to take someone out but using your discipline and restraint to not do it at all.
