Ok as some of you know my kung fu classes have stopped all together because the numbers have been falling which has forced me to look for another martial art. I rememeber when I was looking for a martial art 9 years ago I would get to some Clubs and get totally intimidated and barely make it through the door because I have some confidence issues. Although I have improved my confidence over the years with therapy I'm still not totally happy with where I want to be. I've looked at many different martial arts and it fills me with such dread that I will have to start anew again, have to introduce myself to the teacher who may or may not be friendly. Tonight I'm going to a new Kung fu class near to me which is much better organised than my last Kung fu class. It is a full time academy and has such styles as Sanda, Tai chi, Kung fu, Wushu, Jeet Kune do and self defence. It also has a Chinese Master who is head of the academy who I believe takes some of the classes which makes me feel even more intimidated! And then tomorrow I'm going to look at a Jeet Kune do class which takes place at the same Sports Hall where I used to do my Kung fu but I might just go and watch to see if its something I would feel comfortable with. Next week I'm going to look at Aikido on Tuesday and Jujitsu on Wednesday so wish me luck over getting over my nerves!
