Well I did it. Last Thursday I made the leap into being a Black Shirt at the Peaceful Dragon. It is a big thing for me to tell you the truth. It is my commitment of not only learning a Martial Art again, but it also signifies my commitment to my weight loss goal. It will be cool to get into sparring and to finally get into learning weapons. It was cool though to get my first class as a Back Shirt taught by Sifu. We were sweating by the end of that class with quads that burned.
I am excited to see what is to come. You never know. I may start competing again if I don't get beat up too bad in practice.
I'm excited for you, too. I have my conversation on Thursday. All of my buds are leaving. :-( Looks like peer pressure may win out. LOL! I may be sporting a black shirt myself. I saw Diane in her new black shirt, too. I feel like making to commitment myself.
ReplyDeleteCome on Paul! Join the Black shirts! No pressure, but ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE DOING IT!!!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. Let me know what happens after your talk with Sifu.
