kung fu hustler

There are many things I don't know in life. I don't know how to roll my tongue. I don't know how to determine if it's the alternator or transmission failing in my car. I don't know how to speak Tagalog or Ilocano.

However, one of the things I do know....is KUNG FU!

Well, I *kind of* know it. Not like how Keanu knows kung fu. I know enough to either get me in trouble or keep me out of trouble. I know it to the point where someone of my years of training, experience and skill level ought to know it.

Which means squat to no one but me. I know that I love kung fu. I do it because it makes me happy and there is enough circumstantial evidence that might lead one to believe that I could actually be *gulp* good at it. (Ha, I'm sooo good...I can fool YOU ALL!)  That and I want an exercise that doesn't involve treadmills or anything ellipitical-shaped.

In case that isn't enough for you, then here are some other items that you may *or may not* find interesting that would help you to understand just what the littlest sifu is all about.
