Sometimes when I meditate, I listen to really slow, chill music. After a few minutes of thinking of nothing, and just relaxing, my hands start to tingle a little bit. Usually, I ignore the feeling and continue on meditating, but tonight, I looked down at my palms, and they were pale exept for large pink spots all over. Anyone know what this is?

Hahahaha.

So more wieght, less reps? Elbows_And_Knees, any news on classes around here?

I actually found a pressure point that is in direct contact with the heart by accident.

I have played hockey for about 8 years and did gymnastics when I was really young, so balance isn't too big of a thing. Also from hockey I have developed tremendous leg strength. I am 14 and can squat about 220 and can do leg press about 240. I do 10 reps 3 times. Elbows_And_Knees, I am glad to hear that your instructor knows of a local place, thanks for asking him.

The UNCC campus is like 40 minutes away. I'll try to find a place closer.

Hmm....I live in Charlotte, I've never heard of it before. Although, I dont take TKD.

I sit in my room with the lights off and meditate. I imagine a small red line starting at my feet, slowly slowly moving up my body. To reach the top of your head should take about 45 minutes. After that, usually my stress/headache/sickness is either cured, or helped.

Sweet! I just have to find a place around here. I believe a man named Chicote teaches classes at a college around here, UNCC. I will go check it out soon, I hope.

I looked through the other Capoeira thread and did not find what I was looking for. I am fairly interested in starting up Capoeira class because I like dance (although I have never danced), and it looks like it would be a tough work out. So here are the two questions I am looking for answers: A) Has anyone heard of a Capoeira school/class around the Charlotte, North Carolina area? B) To do Capoeira, do you have to be 135 pounds and pure muscle? I am 5'11, 185 pounds. Although I do not expect to see me flying through the air any time soon, I don't want there to be 'problems' right off the bat. Any help is appreciated -Project Janus

My suggestion would be to headbutt the punch. It hurts his hand alot more than your head.

Quick question here. I have started learning the first form, called '20 Methods.' There are punches for just about each step of the form. The thing I don't understand is that my Sifu told me that the punches are not to be snappy like most other systems. He said they need to be slow and controlled, and the power will be there. How does this work? How can a punch with no force behind it be effective? The way he also does the punch is very strange. He does not seem to extend his arm all of the way, and his upper torso seems to move with his arm. Does anyone know what I am talking about? =\ If so, please help me!

See, thats the thing, I wasn't waving my feet around in the air for everyone to look at them. I was just sitting on a bench, and she asked what kind they were. I am not going to say "Oh, I cannot tell you." Nope, not slippers. They have laces, and are low-cut around the ankles. They are thin canvas material. They look sort of like the converse, low-cut shoes.

Wow, that is incredible. I really would like to be able to push myself to those limits. Welp, I just got home from the little park in my neighborhood. I went there and trained for about 45 minutes, just going over footwork and things. And of course, there was some family there who stared at me the whole time -_-. I can't wait to learn more! My next class is on Wednesday.

Well, make sure you let me know before you come, maybe we can train together. I am also we dont have to do the chin-to-toe thing. My sifu's, sifu's, sifu had 100 days to be able to touch his chin to his toe while standing up. Imagine that.
