View Full Version : Hello from Missouri
Nevada_MO_Guy 05-26-2006, 05:49 PM Hello All,
I started learning Wing Chun when I was in the Navy. Once out did the college, work somewhere....move, work somewhere else thing, until settling down in Missouri.
A few years ago, I decided to get off my butt (New Years Resolution) and start back in with something.
Only thing is, there is nothing close by to study.
Solution....simple, just drive 50 miles to class. :)
I've been taking karate since Jan of 04. It is great!
There are alot of differences from my prior training, but also similarities which has helped me learn at my ripe old age *looks for cane*
It is a bit of a challenge sometimes to work in classes, I work a rotating swing shift (7 days of 0700-1500, 2 days off, 7 days of 2300-0700, 2 days off, 7 days of 1500-2300, 2 days off, *repeat*) but I'm determined to stay with it.
James.

I feel for you and your drive... at one point, I was driving 37 miles (1 way) to work out - but it was worth it!

Welcome. At one time I would have called you taxi driver. I was a Jarhead. It is too bad you are on the other side of the state from me. There are a ton of training schools in St. Louis. If it is any consolation though, because of me work I get to class 15-20 minutes late every time. I then take the 45 minute drive home when class is over. However, I would not change that at all. No way, no how.
So good meeting you, Semper Fi and Anchors Away bud.
KenpoTess 05-30-2006, 11:09 AM Good to have you here James :)
Enjoy the Board~!

I was on two "taxi" cabs.
The USS Pensacola LSD-38 and the USS Raleigh LPD-1. Always great when the marines would come onboard...."water hours". :)
Thanks for the welcome guys.
