Last tuesday sambonim put us in a kicking circuit, it was tought for me, very tought, the circuit consisted of doing several kicks on the run with a lot of double kicks at the same time and high kicks (someting like tornado kicks), I tried to do my best believe me, but I failed some times, my high kicks are not what they used to be. I finish the circuit (we did it several times) almost breathless and seeing the young studs working so good I felt terrible.
At some point of my toughts I did a deep thinking... I am an adult with a little time to train, I have to earn the money to put bread on the table, I have to take care of the family, run a bussiness (in this world wide financial crissis)... the other guys in the class are youung, full of testorterone,they are students they don't have a full job or have to take care of a family so. How many male adults are in the class??? none but me!!!!!
Sambunim and I invited the fathers of the kids to join us in a full parents training nights sessions but no one responded.
The kicks the yopung studs do are the kicks I did so well in the past, today is not possible but I am givin it all so there is no way why I have to feel shame about my performance, let's see how this young guys can do in 20 or 25 years more.
I am a proud adult TKD student that really enjoys MA who tries to give it all, there is no shame about this, so I can walk pretty tall and try to do things better every day.
We grown men must feel outstanding when working out at the dojang, we are examples of life to the others.
