"Are you obsessed with kung fu?" I got asked that question the other day by my girlfriend. It started an interssting conversation I said something like "I don't know of too many thing I'd rather do than train." she mentioned how I B!tc# about getting hit by my Sifu, or the busted lip he gave me etc. but as Sifu puts it "Pain can be our best teacher." She didn't get it. I explained that if I tell you how to block a punch comming at your face, and you don't do the block correctly you get hit. And hopefully learn from the pain.
then she began to nag about how often I train at home.
and the point she was trying to make is that every chance I get I'm going something kung fu related.
So my question is are you obssesed with improving your skills. My answer is you have to border obsession in order to improve and achieve certin goals.
