Crap

[JamesC]

So my instructor (Chuan Fa America; Kenpo) can no longer teach our classes and won't be able to resume. This means i'm out of options at the moment. I'm a broke as$, lol.

I'm not a huge kenpo fan, honestly, but I did enjoy the way we sparred. No protection, full contact, no headshots. A lot like kyokushin guys do.

I just wanted to share my misery with you all.

i am here for you my internet friend

lets get together. we go to gym, do the disco dancing, wrestle with no cloth, then make the sexy intercourse with vietnamese prostitutes.

Eh, no problem. Start your own sparring group. You don't need money or anyone's authorization to train in fighting arts.

The guy who started "kenpo" was a Japanese-American who lied about its origins--it was really just Okinawan karate-do that he picked up in Hawaii. He didn't have a degree or authorization. If you want to train, train. Rich people are weak. Kung fu is for poor people.

Now that is true friendship...make sure you see the prostitutes before you wrestle.

Meh...

I may use the extra time to work on learning the olympic lifts.

Full contact but no headshots?

[JamesC]

Full contact but no headshots?

You know what I meant. Full power shots except to the head.

Start your own sparring group.
This is an excellent idea. Go to gym and find some one who

- wears T-shirt that has "combat" or "Sambo" on it,
- has tattoo on his arm,
- does floor split stretching, or
- jumps rope.

Ask him if he want to be your sparring/wrestling partner. If you find a macho guy (big muscle, bald head, ...), that guy most likely will accept your offer.

Northwest Arkansas

Ah, no dice then. ;) Ontario and Arkansas are not close. ;)

[JamesC]

Hah. I wish. I love Canada. It's beautiful up there.

In all fairness, that depends where you are and what time of year it is. We have our share of Hell here as well. :)

[JamesC]

True.

You're not far behind us. It's been right around 100 here for 2 weeks so far. I'm really wishing for Winter already.
