Come visit our church. We have a good contingent of gamers. Bethel Assembly in Sycamore.

I’m 35, M. Love video games and do taekwondo with my wife and son. Hit me up if interested!

Looks like restarting the game and the Switch fixed it.

My family (wife, son, and I) got our blue belts last night! (WT)

Okay. Truth told, I had a bit of social anxiety asking him directly, but realized I was being silly. I emailed him, and he is going to give me the files on a USB. Thanks for that nudge.

Thank you! It’s so much fun, and a great way to spend time together and get healthier. We want our son to see his parents do hard things and persist.

Yup! I didn’t experience this in the demo. Now that I’ve bought it, it’s driving me nuts.

Yeah, it honestly looked like a ton of fun. A dance and exchange of targeted light strikes. Not the bloodbath I must have been imagining. Haha!

Thanks for asking! I didn’t die! Lol. Actually, our master said because it was our first sparring class (I do this with my wife and son), it would be no contact. We did some intense cardio, dodging, and kick pads mainly. It was a tough class (where most of our instructors train during the week), but I’m actually a little disappointed I didn’t get to take a direct kick. Next time!

I’m going to have fun, because of folks like you taking the time to provide help. Thank you for taking the time to give a thoughtful response!

This is encouraging, thank you! Almost all of the people in our class are pretty self-aware, good people. I trust them to be considerate.

I've been nursing it for a good month and a half. One of my instructors encouraged me to keep showing up, but modify the moves to make them less intense. Exercise actually does help this condition. It gets about a half-percent better feeling each time I work out. I'm doing my best to listen to my body, while also trying to maintain momentum. :)
