Kenpo Karate. I've started taking both private lessons and group. This week I learned how to throw a proper punch, the key being to cause as much damage to my opponent and as little to myself. I've also learned how to move while throwing left hooks and right crosses. I did 3, 2-minute rounds, got slightly winded. Then I did a second set and really kicked butt. It appears I'm a natural boxer. I also have a killer left. Next week, I start learning open hand and foot strikes, also blocking. Eventually, I'll work my way up to weapons. Of course, that's way down the road...

I'm so in deep like with this sport. The biggest thing is that I've finally started to have the fog lift from inside my head. I'm starting to see things as they are and not how I wish them to be. It's Zen, baby. It can be brutal but at least it's honest.
