It's Not About The Goal

I have managed to take some time off to recuperate from my injuries, and find that while I am not completely healthy, I am not walking with a pronounced limp at the moment. An improvement of circumstance to be sure. One thing this forced break from the workout routine has done is given me the... Sign in to see full entry.

Internal Struggle

I have lived most of my life with pain in both knees from a disorder called patellafemoral pain syndrome. I developed this disorder as a young girl around ten from misalignment of the knee cap. It's a common condition, but a very painful one, with the knee cap pulling away at odd angles it creates... Sign in to see full entry.

The Way I See It...

We live in a world where people are quick to blame everyone and everything except themselves for their problems. I see this a lot with most parents I meet. An unruly child simply must have ADD or ADHD or any number of other psychiatric disorders that require heavy medication to help the child... Sign in to see full entry.

Anyone Can Buy A Black Belt....

I can't think of a single person who does not want to earn the respect of their peers. Some may deny it, use the old "I don't care what people think of me." line, trying to fool everyone including themselves into believing it is true. There are some people out there who will go to great lengths to... Sign in to see full entry.

Of Mice And Men...

I sometimes wonder if I am a bad person. I don't think I am, but every once in a while I surprise myself with how I react to things. Take other people's pain for example. Sometimes it's just funny. Not all the time, but every once in a while something will happen than strikes me as hilarious and I... Sign in to see full entry.

What It Means...

They say the first step is the hardest. In any endeavor you undertake, making the initial decision to do it is easy, it's the follow through that is difficult. Often times things come up as stumbling blocks and because it is easier to stay where you are than to push past the challenge, a lot of... Sign in to see full entry.

Respecting The Boundaries

Patience is something I've been trying to get the hang of for a while. I've always had a hot temper, and when someone being threatened I tend to rise to the occasion for more quickly than is absolutely necessary. As a young girl I knew no fear and often got myself in over my head and took the... Sign in to see full entry.

Life Energy

Flowing focused Chi... Life Energy... The Essence of Being... So many names for something so infinitely difficult to grasp. What is Chi? In the most simple way I've heard it explained, Chi is a kind of latent energy in the body. It appears when your mind and body are in a certain state, the state of... Sign in to see full entry.

The Lessons Learned Are Not Always On The Mat...

It is not secret that I love the art of Shou Shu Kung Fu. Everything about it fascinates and excites me. Everything from the bottom to the top, easy to difficult makes me want more each and every day. I cannot say enough how good Shou Shu is as a fighting art. To those who have never heard of the...

Simplicity Complicated

One thing that draws me to the martial world is how unbelievably simple and straightforward it is. Threats, bargains and compromises are decided by the person with the superior firepower. The self-discipline learned through the study of martial arts imposes a measure of control over a persons fate,... Sign in to see full entry.
