K is for ...
Why this job?
I don’t know what made me choose Kickboxer, yes there aren’t
that many other careers beginning with K but what about something less
aggressive like Kindergarten teacher? Maybe there are a few kindergarten
teachers who might disagree with me on that one, But I think my interest in the
sport stems from a juvenile infatuation with the film Bloodsport! Yes, that
great classic starring the Oscar winning actor Jean-claude Van Damme. What?! He
didn’t win an Oscar for that!!! There is no justice. I don’t know what sold it
for me, whether it was the blood, the near death, the hairy biker bloke or those splits he did but
that film was (for a while) my go to movie. I used to dream of winning an
underground kickboxing tournament.
Why I would be good at this job.
I never give up even when I am beaten.
I have a high pain threshold.
I like hot weather.
I like hairy bikers! lol
Why I wouldn’t be good at this job.
I can’t kickbox.
I can’t do the splits.
I never wear sleeveless tops.
I think its quite obvious that this is going to be one of
those dreams that remains a dream unaccomplished. But maybe I could join a
class? Is anyone a martial arts expert? What key characteristics would I really
need to do this?
p.s don't forget to check out the letter 'T' post, just use the menu in the left hand side or go back to older post. Thank you!
p.p.s When I said Left hand side...I meant the other left, doh! right hand side.
Oh, I used to love Jean-Claude! He was like the master of kick-boxing all muscular and intense..LOL You should have seen me imitating him..:D
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm not sure I'd be a kick-boxer either. Too lazy to work out I guess.

ReplyDeleteFunny post. I would never be a good kick boxer for all the reasons you said you would and wouldn't be.

Happy A to Z-ing!
Of all the exercise programs I have done in the past, Tae Bo has been the best one for me and there is a lot of kicking and punching in that, so I think I'd be good at kick-boxing!
