Kung Fu

[Shadow]

I am learning Kung Fu.

Today, we did an exercise that consisted of bashing the bony inner part of your forearm against that of a partner. The idea is that if you beat yourself up until you can take it, then you will learn to take a hit in real life. Which is perfectly logical and valid.

It sounds awful.

I am learning Kung Fu.

Have you considered never leaving the house or interacting with society? It could be the best way to avoid needing physical skills like defending yourself.

[Shadow]

Yeah, physics students do that pretty much anyway. I decided to do this to get some physical exercise in, all I did before was mental exercise.

Who needs to know Kung Fu, I'm adept at a children's card games, and my mind crushes are unstoppable.

Well good luck shadow with Kung Fu,
"no pain no gain" :D

[Gorak]

I did haptkido for awhile for pretty much the same reason
it was fun, and I needed the exercise
martial arts are a great idea

[Pippin]

How's the Kung Fu coming along then shadow?

[Shadow]

Slowly haha, but it is a lot of fun.

[Pippin]

Lol sounds good :)

[Shadow]

great workout too, if nothing else you learn a ton of tricks for working out without using weights.

Is Kung Fu just about physical fitness or does it involve self defense? I do boxing and think it is pretty good all round compared to martial arts which often work on a few aspects.

[Shadow]

kung fu is about everything, really, but the martial applications just come as a by-product of learning how to use your body in general.
