Day 6
Okay, okay, I'm skipping around a bit. I'll blog about day 3-6 later. I just got back from my first hapkido lesson in 4 years. It was friggin' awesome. I think the master went rough on me once he figured out I had experience. Either that, or he wanted to quicken the pace of my learning because I told him I could only train for 2 days. Luckily for me, I remembered my break falls. His teaching method was similar to that of my old instructor Dallas. It was kind of based more on the practical application of hapkido's joint locks over the fancy-schmancy agility feats. A young Thai gentleman I met even suggested a Muay Thai place in Thailand for me to scope out. I'll be going back for another hapkido lesson tomorrow.
My right wrist hurts like hell, and pain never felt so good. I just wish there was someone in Wuhan who would teach me hapkido. But gong fu will have to do for now, although I'm going to push my sifu to teach me either yong chun or san shou, which are more of my style. We'll see if that's possible.
