    Just Started

    I had my first class last evening. I am going into Kung Fu with a cleaned slate between my ears. I am not sure what the appropriate statement would be about my first lesson, but I enjoyed it. I cannot wait until next week.

    Welcome

    Hope you enjoy your practice. For many of us here, it has become our lifestyle.

    And for others here, it has been become something to troll, which is another kind of martial lifestyle, I suppose.

    I remember that. I'm a lifer and it seemed like the rest of the world pretty much fell away because all I easily recall about my first few months was being there and enquiring when I could go back.
    Best wishes of course. To whatever degree you become immersed, you will greatly benefit.
    Like Gene says "hope it swallows you whole, it's great. Ignore the losers."

    Now when did I say that? I don't advocate ignoring the losers. Crush those losers. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.

    YOu're going to get to know yourself intimately through determined Kung Fu practice.
    Fair warning, there's parts of you that you won't like. You'll be faced with your own weakness and will struggle to overcome.

    There is reward, there is punishment. It's up to you really.
    It's when you find reward in punishment that you are making a breakthrough. lol
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    I did not say they were not big, I said they were fine. And, thank you for your continued support and suggestions.

    The best of luck to you on your journey. The more time you spend on this forum, the sooner you will become used to Bawang and his 'advice'.

    Hope you enjoy the ride.

    Focus on a few skills, throwing, striking or seizing.

    And drill and condition your body to the few skills.

    Have a great journey by starting with a few things.

    Thanks, I have discovered that seems to be the important part.
