This week in Kung Fu.

Proving there is no attractive way to photo an arm ;)

Kung Fu was good this week. Lots of Fighting.

As you can see by lack of arm muscle tone and slight bruising. I have not developed the monk's legendary qi-gong. Qi-gong is energy that can be released to any part of the body making it stronger and more powerful.

This energy release can make any part of the body harder. For example the scull of a Shaolin monk can be up to 4x's stronger than that of a regular person. This is after hours a day of banging their heads against something hard for years ;)

This hardening of certain parts of the body is known as "Ironing". So you can have an Iron Scull, Iron Neck, Iron Forearms, and hey guess what guys? You can even have Iron Crotch. Video below for your amusement. (Disclaimer. I do not participate in any Qi-gong training :)




I fought "R" for most of the time Thursday. Was way more intense and exciting than usual. Though, I was slightly concerned about one of us loosing some teeth, snapping an Achilles, or neck strain, or a snapped olecranon process. Definitely was clipped in the jaw once. It was fine, just surprising. I slightly hit "R" in the face like 5 times. I sometimes don't have control of my wildly swinging fists. But I know if ever had to really fight "R", I would probably lose.

Saturday Class was much more basic. Line drills, form work, minimal partner drills. I did almost run "S" off the floor. I wasn't trying to plow him down, I was just trying to do it right and not hit like a girl. Pun intended.
