Hope you are well. We did some stuff in your backyard a couple of times.
(thanks again, by the way)
I trained toas for a while myself, mostly after you had already left. Since then I have worked on some other things, but have used toas as my 'base', and still continue to practice certain things from that style.
Good to 'see' you again.
still-learning, I believe you're correct. I hope you stick to it. There's a world of things to learn. I was still doing pretty good up until a couple of years ago. I was learning capoeira and having a blast. Blew up my knee landing wrong. After the operation I went back once I could walk again, and managed to tear the meniscus in the other knee by landing and jumping one legged. Not a major problem, but lost the accuracy in the leg that was operated on. Kept tripping on the floor for a while and I'm unwilling to use any thing but stomping type kicks anymore, and at much less than full strength. Then started having problems w/ nausea, diarrhea and weight loss. The weight loss was the real killer, as I dropped a lot of muscle mass, and I didn't have that much to start w/. I'm really missing practicing and hope to start up a program again in the future.
