My apointment

[Manny]

Last nigh I went to the dojan I want to retook TKD classses, the samboknim herd all my ideas and background and asked me to take a couple free lessons and then if liked stay.

Wow is almost 17 yeas since I step in the matt, I'm a little nervous, believe me, maybe I'm too happy don't know, but want to take TKD lessons again and gain stamina and do a lot of kicks.

It's going to be no easy, my muscles are not conditioned, I have overweigth,cero stamina, and 39 years over my back.

The sense is going to respect my dan and it' seems we are going working out 1 hour 3 times a week alone, only samboknim and I.

Please wish me luck and say a little payer for this fat guy who wants to fall in love with a martial art.

Welcome to MT and welcome back to TKD. Good luck! Work hard but still have fun with it and you'll do just fine!

Manny, is English a second language for you?

 

[Manny]

Yes wade, Spanish is my mother languaje and I speak an eclectic english. I do a lot of reading in english, a long time ago because of the martial arts magazines and since 1990 because of the firearms magazines. I love firearmas, shooting and hunting so maybe martiality is a very large part of me.

Bienvenidos Manuel! Welcome back to the Dojang. Taekwondo and the martial arts, what a cool pastime. Great stuff... :asian:

Don't worry about age Manny, I'm 39 also and I'm having to work hard to get fit. You'll get your conditioning back and it looks like you've found a good subumnim to support you. Good luck with the training, and most importantly, have plenty of fun!

All right folks, one week and a half in TKD classes and feeling great!! Yes the pain is in me but like it. Last friday we did some greco/roman wrestling and it was hard very hard, I did not win but I did not loose, I fight a lot and defend myself but my foe never could make me kiss the mat.

My arms,chest and back hurts but I feel great, I am working hard.

Sadly the dobok samboknim gave me with my membership does not feet me (and it's the largest size), so I will use my century gi (karategi) for some time till the dobok's dojan fits me.

BTW the name of the dojan is HWARANG TAE KWON DO, samboknim is a 7th degree Black Belt under WTF.
