Somehow, Tae Kwon Do runs deep in my blood. No matter how hard I try to grow up and move on, I can't.
There is a hook in my heart and in my body that pulls and pulls me back to my home studio and my unwavering master. Nothing makes me happier than being at the studio, on the mat. To steel the words of one of my adult ninja counter parts, "even if I am mopping the floor, I'm happy to be in uniform on the mat."
No place is perfect, but no place is better than where you spent hours, days, years shedding your sweat, blood, and tears training yourself and sharing your knowledge with others who have the same goals as you.
Needless to say, I NEED TAE KWON DO, and I can't stay away any longer. :)
