I did that last week. I need a little variety in my life.

I'm not a big NASCAR fan either, but I've been told by non fans to at least go to the Speedway once cause it's an experience. So what the hell. Plus I'll get beer and wings vs spiritual food.

martial arts

i remember the jw view of martial arts being cemented in my head when i asked my mother at the age of 6 if i could take karate.

the look of horror on her face.

she told me it was violent and jws could not practice violence.

I was a 3rd degree brown belt in Chinese Kempo Karate before I became a JW in my mid 20's. I also cross trained in Judo, Brazilian Ju Jitsu, and Modern Arnis.

I agree, some of the best people I've ever known were black belts. The one's I knew did not have an air of superiority or have a violent nature. They were humble, approachable and helpful. I also met 2 grandmasters, Wally Jay and Remy Presas whenever they came to do seminars. Again these 2 epitomized the true nature of a martial artist, they showed true humility and are great teachers of their art.

I regret leaving my training, but I'm trying to get my body back in shape to pursue it again. I had self confidence, self esteem and discipline. The training in the arts certainly helped me to be more focused and goal oriented and that transferred well into other areas in my life such as career, family etc...

I recall an Awake article that was about a sport karate competitor who became a witness. I was turned off by the experience because the guy seemed to a big ego as a martial artist and was driven by that. Of course the article highlighted that and how he liked to dominate his opponents making it seem that is all what martial arts do.

Oh and to answer your original question, I usually hit the drywall 3 inches from the side of the donkey's head and one time in the birthday boy's eye.
