This year is going to be exciting in martial arts. I've already been meeting with a personal trainer weekly for core training and now I finally feel better after having a cold and severe asthma for the past two weeks. I think I lost a good 5 lbs or something..looking like some twig on a dry winter's day. Thank goodness I had a real meal tonight of fish tacos and a nice cold Widmer to soothe the soul.
After a year of training for ultimate flexibility, qi energy development and technical form training, January marked the first day for me and Si Dai to train for pushing strength, aka power. But before we get into that, I have to make sure I have the right kicks.
The main reason I am training for martial arts is somewhat unknown to many. People usually think I do martial arts to defend myself, kick peoples butts, all your stereotypical expectations. There's actually a lot of reasons.
-It's the best way to learn something that could never be taken away from me
-More time spent with family learning something that takes a lot of patience and maturity
-Learning from others that share the passion
-Staying healthy from the refined standpoint of physics
-and the list goes on
I'm excited for more training and even more excited that my knees are surviving.
I'm also checking out the Wii Fit....But maybe that's on my wishlist for my bday :)
