the Pagans tea-room

I've took martial arts for 10 years & there is more styles I wish to take but around here it's hard to find anything worth taking. It's all Karate or Tae Kwon Do & what schools you can find for the good stuff like Akaido & such as SO pricy that you can' afford it.

Yeah, it sucks being poor. Though it would definitely be worth the money IMHO if i had it. I love my classes and want to learn as much martial arts as I can. I doubt I'll ever become as versed as sensei but I hope to earn at least 1 or 2 black belts.

Visions of traction dance in my head every time I start thinking about taking a martial arts class. I am far to clumsy, not to mention I have absolutely zero balance.

I think that's one thing Martial Arts can help with is being clumsy, and having no balance. Being overweight I don't have all that great balances, but Martial Arts(plus other training) helped me get better. ^_^

You are definitely right on that, but with my leg/knees/back I couldn't handle the training. I would never get out of PT.

Same here. But since I started training I've slowly gotten better. Today I'm merely a clutz, instead of a hopeless clutz

It all depends on the teacher you get. My sensei is awesome as she lets people work at there own pace and simply do what they can. If you have a bad back and can't do rolls fine, if you have bad knees and so can't kick above your waist fine. The class is taught based on each individuals personal capabilities rather than any all encompassing guidelines. If you live in contra costa county in california I would highly reccomend trying your hand at martial arts at diablo valley college if your interested in learning.

Well when it comes to sports in general and football especially I am both completely blind:cover: and completely uninterested:sleep:. So it's only natural that I wouldn't notice

Well, I'm undecided on what religion to be, but I've been leaning towards Paganism and agree with many Pagan beliefs. Am I welcome?
