Brother Sewing Machines And Brother Embroidery Machines

We were sitting in the training hall after class, engaged in a generalized sort of BS session, and one of the guys, Ron, started relaying the tale of when he was young and growing up on a farm. Yeah, I had to get up at 4 int he wee hours and go find the calves, they'd wander off, get stuck in mudholes, that sort of thing. The worst was when the calves would get tangled up in the barbed wire, they'd get a leg wrapped up in wire, the leg would die, and we'd have to amputate it and sew it back on. If we weren't fast enough, the calf would die.

One of the other fellows at this BS session, Mike, leaned forward and said, "Really?" Nobody said anything, and Ron went on with his story, telling about the details of sewing a calves leg back on. Suddenly, Mike got it, he looked sheepish, and we all started laughing.

Interestingly, Ron then told us of the first time he had been had. His father told him to go do the squats every day while holding a calf. As the calf grew big and heavy, Ron would get bigger and bigger muscles.

Another story, recorded in one of the earlier kung fu books to land on the American shores, was that you dug a hole a foot deep, and practiced jumping into and out of the hole. Each day you throw out another shovelful of dirt, and after a few years you would be able to jump six feet down and up. This was how you learned how to do Light Kung Fu.

Interestingly, the history of athleticism in America is rich with tales, or even methods, such as these. People strap weights on their legs, and increase the weights every month. Then you can run faster, and have a higher and more powerful kick.

And, athleticism itself is a study in this fashion of thought. We practice running faster and longer every day. We want to be able to run our best; is this not the same as the kung fu legends, be it of a more common and ordinary way of thought?

But the fact is, these legends are probably a good thing. Legends inspire us, and, who knows, maybe there is a bit of truth to be gleaned. After all, have you ever tried lifting a calf every day until he was a bull?

Have you ever jumped in and out of a hole a thousand times a day for a year or two? How do you know training methods like these won't make you stronger and faster? Have you ever used used Shaolin Kung fu to put the legs back on a calf?
