Hello,
Kickboxing when I was younger, Aikido and wushu when I got older.
I can technically teach and I do teach my kid (what he can learn yet as he only just turned 4), but mostly I'm out of it these days.
I still have a tree out there with a rope wrapped around it for punching. It is a dead tree. Last time I was practicing I started getting sticks and such falling down. I'd hear one coming through the limbs and dodge it by sound.
That was, until I missed a dodge and a large branch, about as big around as my arm and at least as long, broke over my head. I was down, out, and not at all sure I was OK.
Turns out I had a hell of a bump and had an eye swelled shut where part hit me in the face when it broke.
I've not used that tree since, although I'm thinking about putting a helmet on here in a few days and cutting it down right above the rope. I need something to practice on again!
Josh
