I used to be godawful. Now I'm good enough to be mediocre.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, the Filipino arts do teach you a lot about rhythm, from the clacking of the rattan to the use of footwork. At the time I started Filipino arts, I had 22 years experience in other martial arts. But I never experienced that before. I really do sing and dance better than I thought I would.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I am a pretty decent singer when I'm doing my impressions of Ronnie van Zant or Johnny Cash. I rock on "Folsom Prison Blues."<BR/><BR/>But in my own voice, I have a long ways to go.<BR/><BR/>Also, I have a guitar I got for Christmas 12 years ago. I've been looking for someone in Tampa who is willing to swap guitar instruction for martial arts instruction for years without much luck.<BR/><BR/>Someday, someday I will learn to play that damn thing.Sean C.
