Inya shaolin Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hi, I'm new to the forum, obviously. I'm a student in American/Shaolin style karate, but I'm also learning inya and eskrima. And push-ups. I'm doing lots of pushups. I haven't met very many martial artists besides the ones who go to my dojo, so this is all a novel experience to me. When I began karate, I didn't think I'd make it far. But somehow, I stuck with it, and I'm happy with my weekly training sessions. I recently switched dojos, which was pretty hard for me-- I forgot some material during the interval, and some of what I was taught was wrong, I was also missing out on a lot of basics-- but I'm doing better now. Besides karate, I like reading, writing, knitting and dancing. One of my favorite quotes (and t-shirts) says "Never anger someone who knows how to handle knitting needles." I want to pursue my dream of writing as a career, and to protect the people that I care about. Thank you for reading this! --second degree brown belt, American/Shaolin kenpo karateDeja Fu: The feeling that somehow, somewhere, you've been kicked in the head like this before.

Inya shaolin Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thank you for welcoming me! ^_^ Inya is a type of stickwork with two bamboo sticks. I may or may not be spelling it wrong.And no, the avatar is not a picture of me, but that is a move I've attempted before. It is a very nice picture, I think. --second degree brown belt, American/Shaolin kenpo karateDeja Fu: The feeling that somehow, somewhere, you've been kicked in the head like this before.
