Whoa, whoa, whoa. I take Tang Soo Do and I am fairly certain that I am not mentally retarded. My martial art is stupid, but not all stupid arts make everyone stupid.

There ARE exceptions!

Mabu is Chinese for Horse step.

Mabo is Korean for Horse Step.

The term is a kung fu one (even in Korean).

Hapgido does not use Horse Stance.

first we'll start out with a lot of dynamic running. things like knee highs, kick backs, things like that. we'll continue to run some more but as we run we'll start to spin. we'll do this for a few minutes as fast as we can then run straight. then we do the same thing in the other direction. this helps to train the equl-libriam and stop you from getting dizzy.

then we'll move on to duck-walks and frog hops, things like that. sometimes if we're lucky we get to do what we know as the alligator crawl. it's like a wheel-barrow race but you do push-ups to move down the floor. after thats over we'll do actual push-ups but in a weird kind of fashion. we'll do one on one finger stand up and raise our arms. back down for two on two fingers. back up to raise our arms twice. back down for three and so on and so forth. then we'll do some really good abdomen excercises for a little while.

then we'll get up and go into Mabu for as long as we can. we sit canes on our legs to tell when someone screws up. even on the last count if one person screws up we start all over again.

then onto the roll falling and sommersaults. thats the part when everyone is ready to throw up.

but thats just a little bit of some of the things that we do. *sigh* now that that's done i'd like to say "i like to train real hard woo hoo"

Does this sound like a kindergarten class to anyone? Or a kids class?? You don't have to do anything called duck walk, frog hop or alligator crawl to get in shape. And from that description, I'd say that it isn't a hard work out, you're just out of shape.
