@fangjian No. I seem to go through phases with martial arts, but we've both been thinking we want to keep up what we already know and maintain the proficiency we have. The FMA you taught us seems quick and practical so I'd hate to lose it!
Nice. Looks like an interesting martial art. I just recently graded and earned my Blue belt in Taekwondo which is a pretty awesome martial art for kicks and general self defense and fitness.
@retrothomas Thanks, yeah it was really fun but there was a lot pressure. The blue belt is the middle belt between the white and black belts so there is an expectation that everything would be almost perfect. I really enjoyed it though as I knew I was ready and was excited to show everything I'd learnt. It went really well and I can't wait for my next one. In fact I've already practically learned the next pattern for it. :)
You still practicing at all?

@ChrissyTheJ Thanks, and congratulations! Martial arts is a very rewarding hobby. What was your belt test like? Was there a lot of pressure?

@fangjian Thanks! I'm glad I could get a video of this so that I could get an outside perspective. Gotta work on my left hand technique!
I'm gonna do a magic trick. I'll turn tacos into martial arts proficiency.

@zoroztheg4mer Hey! You saw this before I was able to add the description! Haha.
This is Balintawak, Filipino stick fencing. Jon (left) is my teacher. He's totally boss and I'm a noob. Thanks for the kind words, dude :)
