On Tuesday, we went to the peaceful dragon; a kung fu dojo. I was exited because I've always thought kung fu was really cool. When we arrived I was very impressed. The scenery was very tranquil and the building was decorated nicely. Then, we entered the room where we were going to do kung fu. The man there explained to us that kung fu is only for defense. Then he talked about China and it's four great inventions; gunpowder, paper, the printing press, and the compass.
After that, we moved on to the physical part of the presentation. We started out it simple stretches and then tai chi. It was all very relaxing even though some part made my body hurt. The we went to the main course; kung fu. The instructor taught s how to defend ourselves if someone were to try to punch us in the face. It was really fun! Then we got to ask him questions. I asked him if he had ever had to use kung fu in his life. He said yes but he never punched someone; then he told us an amazing story of how he saved some guy from getting killed. That was really cool. After we left, I felt like maybe I could try out kung fu one day, even though it was a lot of exercise!
