Holy Crap Kung Fu is Sooooooo Hard!!!

So I just started my first class in Kung Fu with a Shaolin Master last night. My body is sore as hell and I can barely walk. I was arguably mediocre, but I had some trouble focusing my attention on the forms. I worried that other people were looking at me criticaly, but I controled my anxiety decently. Kung Fu is something Ive wanted to do my entire life and this is a fantastic opportunity. The movements are very difficult especialy since I am out of shape (too skiny and inflexible) and he expects you to perform them correctly, immediately. The class is serious, blunt, and traditional. I really recommend Kung Fu to everyone, particularly if you can study under a monk. Here is my teacher. If I have 10% of his skill someday I will be thankful. :D

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing

They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing

There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they did it with expert timing
