Certainly when I think back to my childhood, the smell of my mom's chocolate chip cookies baking ranks high!

It's encouraging to know that you weren't very active before you engaged with the practice. There may be hope for me! Naturally, I appreciate how it refreshes your mind too.

My nunchucks are padded, so when I clunk myself it's not quite so bad. If you really want to see me in action, email me and I will send you a short video that my teacher took of me. You will quickly see I'm just a beginner!Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-33281653518200543282012-04-25T08:45:39.333-07:002012-04-25T08:45:39.333-07:00Karen, Well, they'll remember me...I hope well...Karen, Well, they'll remember me...I hope well!Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-25980447619377328962012-04-25T07:40:52.039-07:002012-04-25T07:40:52.039-07:00I love the visual of your swinging those nun chuck...I love the visual of your swinging those nun chucks. Vidur attended karate class for three years but did not enjoy the sparring or the constant beating his Sensei seemed to enjoy dishing out to the kids :D The katas were fine. He quit just as soon as they started learning to wield the nun chucks and we have the pair at home :-) Pretty painful when they swing it and it knocks the back of the head. <br /><br />:-) Would love to see a photo of you in action!
