“ Well, your stances were all wrong no matter what the circumstqance. I can tell you’re not a fighter. Have you ever even been in a fight?”
—————————————————————————————————————————-

LMAO!!
You have no idea.

Yeah, you’re right. Never been in a fight.

Just had a habit of having spontaneous injuries.
Broken nose.
Cracked ribs.
Broken leg.
Cracked and loose teeth.
2 broken fingers.

I sparred for Kronk.
I got the crap beat out of me by Golden Gloves competitors.
Trainers would tell me their weakness and what to focus on and I tried to exploit it.

Later I realized I wanted something more controlled, something that was more of an art form. Body art. Taekwondo was my true calling. Sure do miss those years.

My youngest daughter followed somewhat in my footsteps.
She earn her Black Belt in American Freestyle, then earned another in Kempo.
I used to spar with her until the years went by and she got real good and advanced and we did t have enough padded protective gear for me! LOL

Now that I know it bugs you…..I’ll do a slow and steady release of pics with more Dear Diary moments. 😆🤣😂🤪

So why don't you know how to stand, sensei? That's basic stuff. Like day one.
