I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was taking part in "Dry January". I didn't make a big song and dance about it, but I decided to go for a calendar month or so with no alcohol. A few people have asked me about my experience, so here are a few points. Why take a break from drinking? Alcohol is an interesting topic. As a drug it is widely accepted in society, central to so much of our socialising and leisure. There seem to be lots of health benefits - so we are told - yet there are also a lot of problems in terms of health, relationships and lifestyle that come from drinking. Over a few years I'd begun to become aware and then concerned that I was drinking too much and too regularly.

I doubt I would ever use some of Lau Gar's foot strikes but the forms used to develop this give you true '3D/vertical agility' as well as the usual '2D' agility exhibited by footballers and other field/court sports.

Everytime I think I've invented a move I kick myself and remember, as yet, there is still no patent on the human body.
Thanks for sharing.
