Welcome

Hello, my name is jutsow, and I am a kung fu addict.

Not a kung-fu movies addict (although I spend a bit too much money on those too), a real, flesh-and-blood, jump-around-and-kick-things kung fu addict.

Because of my age and general lack of athletic ability, kung-fu is perhaps not the best choice of workout. But I still do it, have been practicing it for just over 6 years now, and have not broken any major bones in the practice of it. A few minor bones, maybe, but that's about it. Watching kung-fu movies would probably be far healthier for me, but if humans always did what was healthy for them, we'd all look like California beach models. Things would go to hell in a handbasket real fast, with everyone arguing about whose hair is blonder, Brittany's or Tiffany's. So I do kung fu instead, and the balance of the universe is maintained.

At any rate, this blog is largely a personal record, there's not much structure to it, I'm just keeping track of some training notes and maybe report on a few tournaments and, if my madd web-fu skillz get a bit stronger, I'll add some pictures that can hopefully illustrate some points. So enjoy, or don't. Whatever. Welcome.
