So it’s been a hot minute since I kind of sort of lost access to my forum account and had difficulty recovering it and life has gone in odd directions. I ended up moving to a windswept island in the North Atlantic and starting a hobby farm. Also I have a kid! And she’s 11! And, after years of resistance, she’s finally agreed to let me teach her martial arts! So far we’ve started with some vey basic kick boxing stuff. Still it makes me happy that I can pass along what I’ve learned over the years to the next generation.

Congratulations on being self employed. Im a poosy and still wage slaving away for corpo clankers.
The key to teaching kids martial arts is treats. Lots of fattening snacks. Before u know it she will be invoking taoist spirits to low droning ambient noises in a dark basement.
Also let them have the opportunity to be bullied (in a safe controlled envrionment) by peers. Either verbally or physical is fine. Verbal after physical can help unlock deeper thinking into lifestyle, culture and philosophy.
Oh no, I’m not self-employed. I’m actually a provincial government bureaucrat with about a thousand hobbies these days. LOL Just so happens half those hobbies involve words like “poultry” and “tractor”.
