dear on-Line journal,
that martial arts show on discovery awhile ago was just nasty! I just loved it to the inch. It showed taekwondo(one of the martial arts im studying) and the russian martial art called systema.
The espisode on taekwondo was truly amazing displaying Korea's homegrown talents from its earlier roots of subaku later evolving into what we now know as the world famous taekwondo. Watching there techniques was just awesome and a jaw breaking display of speed, precision, accuracy and flexibility. How i wish with blinding jealousy that i could do what those koreans would do.
The second martial art was systema, also a combination of techniques of russian martial arts that is deeply rooted in their culture. I've learned that from their techniques that to be succesful in that martial art you must learn to move with the flow of things much like water(i remember bruce Lee and my jiu jitsu instructor saying this to me). Observing these techniques was like watching a dance with their bodies twisting and turning as though performing a ritualic dance, although they are disarming an opponent using the techniques. This martial art also reminds me of aikido techniques of disarming multiple assailants without the use of weapons.
It was kinda sad watching the show end because i just want to watch more. Well, tomorrow they are showing aikkido and brazilian jiu jitsu(this im also studying and my personal favorite!yeah!)and i just can't wait. Tomorrow is also a big day for me since im going to work out in the gym in the morning and off to jiu jitsu training in La Salle in the afternoon. After that go to class and finally home for more "Go Warrior".I'm just so excited at what tomorrow will bring..yahoo!
