Martial Arts
Wednesday, September 9, 2009Panmunjum
I was in Panmunjum in the DMZ where I got acquainted with Tobias, a German who knew Taekwondo, Copeira and Kung Fu. He asked me to show any Asian Martial Art I know. He was disappointed I didn’t know any. Then we traveled southward to the Jiri mountains. There I met Jean, a Danish who knew Karate. I was ashamed being with Europeans showing Asian skills I should be equipped with. So when I got back, I took special training for Arnis-de-Abanico. In this branch of discipline, one of the Grand Masters was a six-footer from Luxemburg, a European.
