Taking advantage of a very small class tonight after the huge rain over the weekend, I love the weather, hot or cold, and I just came back from Vietnam so I was inspired by the Asian humidity to teach like I teach my own students in Vietnam the past couple of weeks! Always in my life, when watching a handicapped person, on the street or in the hospital, the disadvantage of the body has brought me the interest of keeping our body intact and healthy using it as a tool or a weapon. Sitting down at the table, you can use the chop stick or the fork as a Westerner or as an Asian, depending on how the tool is suited to your skill. I myself, after having lived in the USA for almost 40 years, I now use the fork better than the chopstick. The martial art equivalence is that I use my body as a weapon, the main vehicle to extend my martial skill.
