Thank you for sharing.

A long time ago (As a young adult) I studied Taekwondo (TKD) for many years, eventually earning my brown belt. It taught me discipline and forced me to develop a level of physical precision I had been lacking.

Sadly, life events intervened, and I discontinued my training. A couple decades later, I tried Isshinryu karate, but I struggled to "unlearn" stances and techniques which were still ingrained in my muscle memory.

For fun, I tries to work through some of the TKD poomsae (Forms or the equivalent of Kata), and I remembered several of them! Time to get these old bones moving again.

Thank you, again for sharing.
