TweetWell today I have a spitting headache so Ill give you the short answer:
Ketso- You must be like 100yrs old if you been studying fighting arts (sorry if I called them the wrong thing) for 40 yrs bc you were in a war and bc you are a social worker with hard cases. LOL! What about "why" in the begginning or early years? I'm not givin you shit- I'm honestly interested as to know why.
Im 45- at 5 my Uncle had a karate dojo- which in support of my Uncle my parents took me there every day. By the time I was 15 I had 4th dan in Shotokan. SInce then I studied penjak silat. Wing chun, Tae kwon Do 4-6 hours age 16-23 - after school or work. Yes I did join the armed forces and also continue my studies in combat and used the GI Bill to pay for school- I dont see how you find that hard to understand. My life has been decicated to study. I dont talk about Desert Storm much, because I saw many ugly fucking things. When I was 14 0r 15 I began lifting weigths and body building. My days began at 2am to eat breakfast , take my pills and teas. 5am I hit the gym. Then a combo of work and school or this would change when I was in the Army to whatever they asked. At 35 I still hadnt finished school I have my MSW now. There has never been any point in time when I havent trained. So wise guy- yes 40 years martial art training- MSW and I was in the Army. I fought in Desert Storm. Why did I study whe I was a kid? Thats already been answered- I wanted to be Batman or Qwai Chai Caine
