The Adventures of Mister Stupidhead*
Apr. 23rd, 2011 02:34 pmI asked Sifu to show me some forearm conditioning techniques.
Mind you, I already knew he has a black belt in Goju (fucking GOJU, okey?), and that he had practiced Hung Gar before focusing on Wing Chun. I knew he was fond of recounting his years of "hitting trees." Basically, I knew I was putting myself in a position.
He got this grin on his face: Thank you for giving me an excuse to do this to you. A small crowd gathered around to watch me get educated. Within a few minutes, the neighboring Hung Gar and Xing Yi classes were trying some forearm conditioning, too.
Today, I have four neat, round bruises to prove that I learned stuff. Also: ouch.
