Rescently, I want to a gym with
my classmate, it was a very funny experience. I signed up a lesson which is about
one kind of martial art that called “Hapkido” in Korea style ；the word in Chinese is called “韓式合氣道”. For what reason that I am willing to pay people money to beat me shitting around?
Maybe I just enjoy the pain, on me and on others. Anyways, it is not the funny
point, which make me feeling so funny is that we are in a Muay
Thai (泰拳) gym
learning Korea Hapkido and the teacher is Canadian . It let me feel like that I
am a Chinese and going abroad to U.S.A to learn Chinese literature from a
teacher whom from Dubai.
I know in
today it is coming to being a global village. But I still will feel strange
that if a foreigner teaching me Chinese literature in my pass days. Maybe it is
a warning that we should not forget our own cultures, in the future if my son
or grandson’s Chinese literature teacher is a foreigner, I will be shame about
it. We should be proud of our own cultures, even if it may have something
should improve, just improve and fix it, cultures just like animal, they are
dying and bearing with the time.
Back to
the martial art part, in the class I was also surprised that so many ladies
like to learn this, and also feel shame about that those pretty ladies also can
beat me down with only one hand, without joking, the Hapkido’s main point is
that use the minimum strength to knock down or control your foes, so it is very
suited to ladies whom do not have much strength, maybe our teacher can learn it
to deal with her husband. J
