With kung fu, my knowledge in the martial arts was a experiement. I moved into the class to see exactly what it was like and to learn about the thing that took a number of my friends captive on Thursday and each Tuesday night. I entered the Chinese restaurant with my friends and proceeded to the basement in which the class was held. I wasn’t fond of the huge mirrors lining the wall, but that I did not head the incense sticks that burnt in holders around all four edges of the room. It did not take me long, but to learn that martial arts was not because of me.
My bout with martial arts taught me a great deal about myself and a whole lot about martial arts. In all honesty, discover it to be easy and mindless and I expected to arrive at kung fu class. I would learn that fu, such as all the martial arts, needs a degree of discipline and strength I could only dream of owning. Every individual in our group came prepared to work hard and to achieve this they left the troubles of their lives. Entering the martial arts room meant entering a brand new world . A world that demanded everything and more that they had to offer.
Martial arts isn’t for the weak, that is for certain. I left feeling pretty sure after attending my class. When sent shooting pain that I realized the degree of torture I had done for my body it was only when the next morning. My kung fu friends said that this degree of pain was normal and that my body will get accustomed to the hard workouts and it would not hurt. Unfortunately, my three months of staggering pain were sufficient for me and that I never made it. Sure, I had experienced pain in workouts or sports before, but no pain that in comparison to the pain that I obtained from an hour of martial arts.
Everybody I know who sticks with the arts loves it. I guess bodies begin to crave discipline and the strength that the martial arts require and hence the workouts turned into something to anticipate instead of dread. Have developed this sense of fortitude. They are able to make it through not just the hardness the martial arts attract but also through almost any hardship lifestyle gifts. Their courses are a practice ground that teaches them to press and endure all that happens in life.
Therefore, while I never stuck with the arts enough to understand them are.
