Well, that was a lot of video for such a short blog. So to keep the time space continuium from imploding, I'll make it looooooooonger. My large cat wants to come sit up on the nice leather sectional with his nice sharp claws, such a good cat. He is curently losing weight. thats good, since he is such a fat cat.
Update: My bathroom is now a beautiful blue. When we get a digital camera I'll put up pics. Too bad I don't have some earlier pics so you could see the old bathroom. Think brown and beige. Quite bland. But that's enough home improvement, who do I think I am, Billy Mays?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The spiders say time for an inpirational speech. I gave this a few months ago, the topic is why you should take an martial art. Note: Imagine you are hearing this, not reading it. ^_^
Imagine this. It's 7:00 P.M. You have just left the mall and are heading to your car; it was really crowded when you got the mall at 4:30, so you had to park in the back of the parking lot. When suddenly, a strange man grabs your arm and drags you to his car. You try to scream, but nobody is around. What do you do? You know what will happen if you let him take you. If only you had a weapon. Well, now you can have an invisible weapon with you at all times.
Thesis statement: Here is why it would be a VERY good idea for you to take a martial art
I No, No martial art will allow you fly and run up buildings. But Martials arts WILL give you the upper hand. No matter how many times you hear the feminist mantra: "Women are just as strong as men". It can't change the fact; most men are stronger than most women. I'm not being macho. And I'm truly grateful for everything that women do, especially our mothers who sacrifice everything for us and make our lives possible.
It is also true that all most all adults are stronger than almost any kid. With the vast strength difference between men and women, it almost seems that a woman could do nothing if one of this world many wackos and freaks decided to target her or one of her children. This is where your martial arts come in. It will train you. You may not be able to completely annihilate your attacker, but all you need it a few seconds to get away. It can make a difference between living an emotionally scarred life or a normal life, or may even be the deciding factor in a life or death situation.

After all that, I bet you are DYING to learn more. Of course there are many other reasons to learn a martial art other than self/defense.
Doing a martial art is a great way to get into and keep in shape. Trust me. You learn about these muscles that you thought never even existed. If you practice daily you should be able to keep your metabolism up for quite a few years. It also can be a family thing.
Many families are drop Joe over at this! Rush Jane over to that. This can be especially hard when you are a home-schooling mom. What if you all go the same place? My family and I have been practicing martial arts for over two years and we love it. It is a great way to teach self-control to your kids. It raises your level of coordination. Doing a martial art is very good for you.
III FAQ
Point Three: What about eastern Mysticism?
Well, My father did A LOT of research before we started. It turned out more the obscure martial arts did have eastern mysticism in it. But the more popular Martial arts such a Karate or Tae Kwon Do have virtually none. It's always best to watch a few lessons before you choose what martial art to take and use money that probably won't be refunded.
What about Bowing? If you watch a class they usually bow to each other, the instructor, and the flags, to show respect to their countries. Bowing in the eastern world is like me coming and shaking your hand. It is a sign or respect. It is not a sign of worship. If you see them bowing to something else, make sure it isn't an idol or something.
I'm in no shape to learn a martial art! Well chances are. I've seen someone in a lot worse shape than you take a martial art. Anyone can take it, round people, out of shape people, old people, disabled people, young people, People with almost NO coordination what so ever. Like me. And EVERYONE has to work at it. Even Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan was a white belt at some time. It doesn't come naturally. Well it may seem like that with some Asians, but it really isn't true.
We've now seen many reasons why it would be good to take a martial art.
It will enable you to defend your self. It is a great way to get in shape and stay in shape, and it will teach you many things such as coordination and self-control. But where can you go? There now seems to be a Martial Arts school on every corner. There are Hard and soft styles of Martial Arts. Hard Styles, Such as Tae Kwon Do and certain types of Karate focus much more on the kicking and punching aspect and you run little risk of running into Eastern Mysticism. Soft Styles, such as Tae Chi, tend to have much slower movements and meditation and have a much higher chance of running into eastern Mysticism. Personally, I would check out a Tae Kwon Do or Karate school. It really shouldn't be hard to find a good school.
