I’m thinking about taking up Karate again though. I found a recreation center that’s not very far from me that offers traditional Japanese Karate for really dirt cheap prices.
The only problem is transportation. I could probably get a ride there at least once a week and work on katas from a manual or book.
I used to be extremely proficient with Shaolin Ryu Kung Fu in my teens. Shifu was aware of the limitations of my heart condition and customized my training for shorter engagements.
I don’t know it that deeply. My uncle had been going for his own health and started taking me after I received a particularly bad beat down when I was 13. Broken nose and fractured skull from four or five kids going after me (it’s a bit hazy thanks to the head bonky).
