My First Seattle Kung Fu Lesson

It was a monday I remeber it well, it was raining and the wind was blowing.  I deceided to make a new life change and join a kung fu school.  I had a friend who recommended one by Green Lake.  I was sooooo nervous walking in the first time.  I will never forget the smell, the feeling, the sounds.  I knew I had come to the right place… people were definately working hard.  Although I could not see them, I could hear them.  I was met by my instructor and shown how to bow.  I was so nervous all I could do is laugh through my first lesson.  He showed me bow stance and horse stance, some punches and blocks.  I was so uncoordinated and awkward… I am surprised he kept a straight face.
