i'm struggling with the kobudo right now, all the weapons work makes me sore as shit for lifting days. and i have a feelling its gonna lend itself to size loss due to the amount of endurance you need to wield heavey weapons for long periods of time.
did Tae Kwon Do from elementary through middle school... got my black belt and LOVED the tournaments. got to go to jr. olympics. for my match i 'bout smashed this kids nose back inwards into his face... dude was bleeding all over the joint. they had a timeout for about 10min while they got him to stop bleeding/crying. it must've pissed him off b/c he came back and destroyed me, lol.

it was a lot of fun and it definitly is good for learning discipline, confidence, restraint, etc. there is a huge mental aspect to it all that i really miss. i would love to get back into it but i would be more interested in studying a different style
