When i was young, i studied and practiced martial arts every week, twice a week from about 14 till almost 20... It was really something that i loved... My idol was non other than Bruce Lee and even though i don't think i was one of the best students... I always tried my best... I spoke to my master yesterday and was reminded how much kung fu was apart of me.. He said noone ever really leaves the school...we all come back eventually and i think it's best if it's for yourself... Sooooo i'm going back... Back to training... I went for the 1st time again lastnight! I gotta say... i was already feeling sore from a couple days in the gym this week and i went indoor rock climbing on thursday...but i pushed myself anyways... so glad i did!
Now...do you wanna know why i started in the 1st place and stopped the last time? Well uno how racist people usually are to the ethnic minorities ( in this case, my school had mostly black girls and less white girls) i used to get the "karate kid, jacky chan, bruce lee, kung fu parents, dnt piss her off she'll karate chop u!" crap...aswell as the chinky eyes comment O_o now everyone goes through some sort of racism- this just made me really wanna really kick anyones ass who made fun of my heritage!!
But the sad thing is, i stopped because an ex who at the time was someone new to me, didn't like the ruff and physical conditioning and stuff that my training required.. He felt i had to be feminine and he had to look like to 'mann' and laughed at me as well as made me give it up...( I KNOW, dno what i was thinking...one of those top-heavy arms and chest dudes who were weight pushing, protein shake guzzling, "am i shrinking?" complainers...) anyways he didn't realize that you don't just forget how to roundhouse kick someone to the head just because you stopped training ( that dickhead deserved many of those in my defence! >_<)
I'm gonna try to be more active this year... If i can start achieving all the small goals...eventually i reach my bigger goals \^__^/
Oh yea.. btw i only had martial arts back on my mind because of this picture on my DA profile...many people are still favouriting it everyday and i was like 15 then.. >_<
