Like Deirdre, I’m interested in kickboxing. I have a videos that teach the basics. But, at 39 yo, my legs don’t reach as high as they used to! It is a lot of fun though and empowering for women as well. Every woman should know how to throw a proper punch for self-defense purposes. Men teach their sons how to fight and defend themselves, but women don’t teach their daughters. It’s one area where men and women aren’t equal (yet).

That has nothing to do with your post, does it? LOL, sorry about that. Went off in a different direction there.

Have fun with your classes, Logtar. I’m sure you’ll do great since you have the enthusiasm already.

I miss him a lot, he is a true master… I was actually going to call him soon to see if he has any trips planned anywhere here, my wife would love to take a Tai Chi seminar with him I am sure.

Ahhh yes, the enjoyable bone conditioning,
Kiu Sao (sp?). I also found it kind of funny last week in kung fu during technique week, we would do the typical Diu Sao to the attackers right hand punch and then Pak Choy with the left hand, which they would block. I found the next day a really good bruise below my wrist where I was getting blocked all the time. Gotta love that bone to bone contact repeated over and over again!

Just in case you miss the old school, I just finished my fifth form (Chop Choy) on Monday! I think I’ve been working on it for about six months, ugh.

Anyway, hope you keep enjoying your new TKD school.

I wish I had more time to invest in something other than what I’ve been doing. Kickboxing has always interested me but I’ve never tried it.

Perhaps one day when I’m in the maintenence phase of my health, I can look into doing that.

I’m happy that you’ve gotten back into these things. They are so good for your body and spirit. Good luck to you!
