Speedballin'...

I was driving to work this morning and a song came on the radio. It was "Bleed it out" by Linken Park. As I was driving and listening to the song, I got really pumped (it's a pretty up-beat kind of tune) and all I could think about was, "I gotta pull over and do some Kung-Fu!"

I didn't pull over, it would have been unsafe and probably irresponsible, but I really, really wanted to break out my spear...

The right music can definatly get you going. "Speedballin'" by Outcast is my favorite one for eskrima sticks and every time I hear it I wanna grab them.
When Mike and I listen to the radio, we often find ourselves judging the quality of the song by whether or not it would be good for a weapons form. Metallica is a good source for this kind of thing. I love practicing to good music; I can feed off the energy it generates and it makes for a really good time. Music has a way of lighting up your soul, and soul is what you need to do good Kung-Fu.

Now I really want to blast "Speedballin'" and whip my eskrimas around...
