woo!

With some misgivings concerning overexerting my sore leg, I went and did BodyCombat tonight at the gym. Not only did the class not exhaust me, it seems to have worked out most of the painful twitching knots in my calves - I actually feel better having worked out than I have all week - I could finally manage the high kicks without any pull on my hamstring.

Sometimes, we gets lucky, we does.

I see. Well, I don't know of any Hung Gar schools in Toronto worthy of recommending, but should you want related arts (specifically, Ba Gua, , Push Hands, or Hsing I), just ask.

My focus is more on external arts for the time being - I know exactly who I want to train with (common instructor between the jujutsu and kung fu), but I'm trying to figure out if I can justify the time and money investment to drive to Oakville 2-3 times a week without compromising all the other stuff I don't want to give up doing. Interestingly enough, I had my first exposure to *real* internal kung fu a little while ago at a local place's open house, and was pretty impressed. It's not the right rhythm for me right now, but still cool.

Damn. Wish I'd known about those guys. What was at the open house? The site talks about Medieval MA, JKD, and Wing Tsun, none of which, in my mind, fall under internal arts.

Though to be honest, I'm just as (if not more) interested in the TTAC³ aspect of the website :)

They did wing chun, JKD, the medieval MA, but also, Ian Sinclair did a demo the touched on Hsing I, Tai Chi and Bagua (spelling mistakes on those three names are mine)
