I just wish I could participate without this old dog hounding me.
He takes everything I post personally. Just talking about this video I hurt his big 'ol feelings so much he had to lash out at me.
When I started this study I COULD NOT REACH PAST MY KNEES. My midsection was cut open with an 18 inch scar from where an internal re-arrangement of my ribs lacerated and relocated my kidney. My right ACL was completely severed and re-attached. My left ACL has been strained and sprained multiple times. My shoulder was destroyed in heavy weapons fighting. Both of my ankles have been dislocated so much that the joints are filled with bone fragments that would require major surgery to improve. Several of my vertebra are in the same condition. Turning my head sounds like a millstone grinding wheat.
Most of that damage was before I was 30. Fighting, sports, running from the cops through the woods. Like, show of hands, how many of you have had to fight your way out from the bottom of a pile of people that all wanted to hurt you? How many had to fight with nobody in a black and white shirt to keep you safe standing by? Like, not glorifying it, but the reality is it's different than the fair fight games we play to prove how tough we are. Honestly, if I never have to punch another person I'll be happy.
But in addition to beating the crap out of myself, I completely failed to eat well or get enough sleep, but I did consume copious amounts of alcohol. Lot of cigarettes, too.
When I don't practice, I hurt. When I do practice, I feel pretty good.
Other people that practice play a game called push hands that is pretty fun, so I do that to stay more active physically and engaged with community. I'm making friends all over the world that I see often.
And hey, I can move furniture and boxes easier, my back is pretty strong most days, it's kind of cool how much energy I can put into things I touch without trying very hard. My reactions are faster, more precise. I can summon a considerable presence to influence others.
All this vibrant health and energy and command of mass and leverage really helps me show my beautiful wife how much I love her, twice a day, usually... sometimes three.
Haven't been in a fight in a while, but didn't do too bad last time, or any of the times before that so I can only assume I'd do better, lol. Someone who doesn't train, I can put on the ground with two fingers. Probably ONE, but I haven't actually tried that so I don't want to talk out of turn.
At 47 I've already lived longer than my paternal grandfather and two of my three uncles. Just hopin to meet my grandkids.
I'm just racking my brain trying to figure out what it is that Wayne thinks I don't have.
Realise if you don’t have it at your age it isn’t coming
If all I've got is all I'm gonna get it's been well worth the effort.
I don't know why some people seem to have realized such hollow results.
