Taek-wan-do

One of my cousins is going to Taek-wan-do classes in the US. He has gone to the US on training for about 1.5 years and he's been having fun there for the past 1 year. Now, suddenly one day he said that he went for his first class of Taek-wan-do there. And it seems he couldnt move his hand or leg the next day. That reminded me of my own trist with Taek-wan-do.

I've been interested and more than interest.. curious in all these karate, taekwando, judo etc since my childhood.. But it so happened that I never joined any of them.. Not that I was too focussed on studies.. in fact, I have been actively involded in Scouts and the Duke of Edinburgh's Scheme and all that.. and I used to play a lot of sports till atleast my 11th std. (I did my entire schooling in Chennai). There were some judo classes happening within the school premises itself(4th - 5th std).. Still..

When I went to Kharagpur, I think it was during my second year, I decided to check-out Taek-wan-do. I went and spoke to the instructor and he inducted me in. The next day I had my first session. It was just warm-up.. Some exercises.. stretchings.. situps.. pushups.. and then I blacked-out!! That moment I decided that all this Taek-wan-do and all is good to talk about and see (others doing it).. but definitely not my cup of tea or boost ;)

Its another story how I started with the gym and how I have done it in various pockets of abt 2 mths each at various points in time.. but, that is something that I'm into, slow and steady!! And I intend to do it regularly from now on.. (I've been gymming continuously for the past one month now :) You wanna join ?!?!
