Starting Martial Arts...My Story!
May/19/2010 02:56 PM Filed in: Martial Arts Training
I started learning Martial Arts around 1980, now most people say Bruce Lee or the Karate Kid inspired them to start martial arts, maybe today kids even say the UFC, but what inspired me was KUNG FU THEATER on saturday and sundays (I forget which day). Thats right, kung fu theater! I loved all of those old movies where what they said and what was being said didn't match and all of the extreme sound effects when they hit someone or flew through the air.
When I was a kid I wanted to be a Shaolin Monk living in China, training hard and fighting the bad guys. That was my dream! And that's what I spent most of my days doing, finding different ways to train and making all kinds of crazy training devices. It all depended on what movie I just finished watching was and what I was going to make and how I was going to train.
From the time I was 7 years old until about 18 years old almost all I wore was Kung Fu slippers, pants and a t-shirt. Except, when I was skateboarding then I wore sneakers but thats another story.
I remember trying to find a Kung Fu school where I lived but I couldn't find any. All I could find was Karate and Tae Kwon Do Schools but I didn't want Karate or Tae Kwon Do, I wanted Kung Fu and in my mind those styles just weren't cool, effective or any good. I knew what I wanted and I wanted to learn Kung Fu!
