I am a big huge fan of martial arts. Bruce Lee was the closest thing to a hero I ever had as a little kid although he was already dead. Through circumstance and some hard work, I have ended up with exposure to a wide variety of martial arts. They all have different strengths, weaknesses, defining characteristics, student types, levels of formality, and attitudes. But they share one thing: They're damn cool. |
