Was feeling low, depressed and probably a bit sorry for myself this evening, and pretty much convinced my martial arts days were over. Knee was still not great, could not do the amount of required exercise today because I'm working from home and work kept bugging me, could not walk right, knee...
September 17th will be 30 years since I started Chinese Martial Arts and Taijiquan.
This entry is a bit more autobiographical. Before getting into the titular topic; I need to set the background.
My original home martial arts school (Tae Kwon-Do) was well attended by adults and children alike. We trained hard, spared hard, and had a great atmosphere.
