I started because I was always being picked on becuase of my size
(which is nothing to worry about now). I was jumped, jumped, and jumped almost everyday. I started with karate, but even I as 9 year old saw it wasn't as effecient as kung-fu. My cousin/master tought me the outline and said it was up for me to form the picture. We ran endless drills and created drills and system modifications. We broke down our training into one2one exercise and then i moved up to having the rest of my family who knew martial arts train me or with me. i would train until my shoulder felt like boulders. One day after 3 months of avoiding being jumped i was approached. I was trained to snap, never to hold back, so I hospitalized the 5 kids. ( mind you i was 9 years old). Kung fu's circles and smooth movements protected my ribs. I was tired of the abuse I had never deserved. Thats why I started to learn how about you ?
