Looked for you on Tuesday, but no new faces. By the way, you are welcome to come work with us without any payment for a month or so. If you really want to learn, you will.
Martial arts, any of them, done right, are boring. It is practice, practice, practice, over and over until it becomes your natural reaction.
We can teach anyone a few parlor tricks to get you out of a bind, but if you can't follow through, you'll just be back in trouble again. But on some people, one technique is enough. We had one guy that had been to class just long enough to learn how to do one block. Some guy picked a fight with him in Duke's Bar (now closed). All he knew to do was block. The other guy threw two or three round house punches and he blocked them. I guess the other guy figured if he could block the best he had, he better make friends. So he stopped and asked if he could buy him a beer. Not like BK, this IS a true story.
