Hello kids.

Hi, got access to the computer rooms now man. Anyways, so i am now a jjj and also a boxing practitioner. It's going ok i guess, if only for my reluctances to disown all that i have learnt in wing chun. At first i thought it was very little, but i seem to have been programmed to fight with wing chun principles. I don't like it when my jujitsu sensei telles me to put lots of weight on my front leg, or to come in so close and throw them etc. I didn't want to learn how to throw people tbh, i wanted the ground work - and now i have learned that there isn't really any in jj. There are some nice joint locks, and my senseis ability to control an opponet is unquestionable, but i don't think ti's for me. There is no judo or bjj round here. It's funny though, i went to a "shaolin nam pai chuan" kung fu class at college, and it was pretty pants. Until we got on the floor for the last 1/2 an hour and started to do bjj! It was cool, but there is too much stuff that i don't want to learn in it, it's not my idea of kung fu. We did light sparring and the practitioners were wank, i was better than nearly everyone there, and that's saying something. I have found a wing chun school in cardiff, but it's called the pro-am institute and i think it's modified. I will phone them after my lectures which are in a few minutes. I was surprised with how much wing chun had become a reaction. I guess the modern jkd guys out there would say it's my flaw, but now i've learnt some wing chun, it seems to be natural for me, and it would be natural for me to continue learning it.

The boxing is a bit wierd, i may continue it, if only for the everyday access to punchbags and use of the gym, i have not had my first lesson yet though cos the new members have not yet been told when the first class is. It's at a proper boxing gym though, and lessons are everyday so i'm thinking it's pretty hardcore. JJ is mon, wed thurs 6-8pm which i goto nearly every lesson. Some niiiice lookin ladies there too. But that's beside the point. I got a lesson tonight as it goes. Bit of a ***** getting there, as I’ve also got radio meetings tonight, I’m getting my own hip hop show which will be breadcast on cardiff radio, and over the net, so u will all be able to hear me rhyming ang playing tunes on the radio :eek: :D although, I gotta find at least 1 dj, and hopefully a co presenter, but no one in wales likes hip hop. Ho hum.

Argh, i kinda gotta go do an exam right now, so er, i'll catch u all later, I meant for me to go through and edit this so that it made sence and didn’t sound so stupid and juvinile, but there is no time, I gotta go to a lecture. Laters kids.

All i wanted was some RICE CAKES! Now? WE MUST BATTLE.
