You're the guy from Memento? Sweet!

Hello.

Update: I've been doing gongfu for a month now. I'm loving it. I'm finding that my increasing flexibility, energy, and most importantly, my good mood, just amazing. My only regret is not starting sooner. The initial difficulty I've found is in developing the technique in the left side of my akin akin to my right (I'm right-handed). That will obviously take time to develop so I'm not disheartened in the least. Technique, overall, is obviously coming as I practice more and more-- and seeing the various instructors correcting me less and less provides more and more motivation.

I'm also appreciative of the various aspects of the philosophy they preach ie., this shouldn't be viewed as just a workout, this is, in various ways, purely an art, and not just an art, but an art purely of the self. Of mind, body, and soul. 'Meditation is the Foundation of all True Martial Arts.'

The dojo itself is not as hampering as I first thought -- the amount of students they have was viewed as a potential hindrance. However, in addition to Sifu, there are ten other comfortable instructors who assist, so I don't feel as if I'm on my own. There is the occasional evening where there will be 50+ students, but it is never too claustrophic or instruction too thin. I guess what I'm trying to stress is that I don't feel uncomfortable.
