alsey Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 watch that new jet li film then tell me you want to give up MA joking of course, you know what you have to do. good luck with everything non-MA! "Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath. Then do it again, and again, and again. Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanSK Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Laurie:You are a class act. And whether you come back to the Arts or not, you always have a place here. Being a good fighter is One thing.

Sohan Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Indeed, life is not just about martial arts, and you are right that you need to pursue activities that you find most fulfilling an rewarding. I have taken several "breaks" in my career, once simply out-and-out quitting, but I have always been drawn back. Perhaps you will, perhaps you won't, but you must do what is best for you. Best wishes for the future.With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

karatekid1975 Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Thanks for the support all. No, I won't leave KF. And yes, What I have learned from MA will always be with me, so I can always practice forms or something if I get the "itch" or get bored LOL.

Patrick Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 BE GONE! Just kidding. I'm sorry to hear this, but you have to do what makes you happy and if the martial arts aren't (either now or ever), then they aren't. But, I'm glad that you'll still be around.
