Gino Member Registered: 01/10/05 Posts: 410 Loc: New York State	When I first began studying the martial arts, I would warm-up before class by sharply raising each leg over my head, to stretch the back of my legs. (Can't do that anymore!) Looked like a punter as he kicked a football. Anyway, I once kicked so hard and so high that my post leg flew out from under me, and I landed flat on my back. Knocked the wind out of me, but gave the class a good laugh, as I recall.

I felt my foot starting to go and somehow managed to keep my balance, but it was close! I also remember one of my class mates doing a flying side kick one time. It was beautiful, perfect position and technique. He was so surprised and excited that he actually managed to do it, that he forgot to put his feet down and went straight down, landing still in that perfect flying side kick position. ouch Laura

Neko456 Professional Poster Registered: 01/18/05 Posts: 3260 Loc: Midwest City, Ok, USA	Reminds of the neverous boxer pacing back in forth, his corner men asked him why are u so neverous. He looked across the ring and said "You see how bad that guys beating his self up, he must be one Bad A$$ dude". I'm not sure I can hit that hard. LOL!!!! You guys are Bad A$$ and didn't know it. Or maybe you do in regards to the topic. Edited by Neko456 (08/19/05 10:19 AM) _________________________ DBAckerson

UofM Shorin Ryu Resident Forum Breakdancer Registered: 02/07/05 Posts: 981	I trip walking down the street on perfectly flat ground ALL the time. My friends always say, "are you serious? You actually TRIPPED while just trying to walk?? HAHAHAHAH!!" To go into stupid clutz type mistakes in either MA or Breakin would require me to find an editor and publishing company....expect this epic to be in a store near you! _________________________ Alea iacta est ~ Gauis Julius Caesar Ne quis nimis ~ Solon Nuts to cancer ~ Sanchin31
