why I joined

sorry I didn't catch the email about the one page.

I joined ten tigers to improve myself and I think that I joined was because I was ashamed of my ability as an instructor. How would we feel if Steven was out of breath after every exercise?Before ten tigers I was hard pressed to do twenty push ups in a minute. Now I can do fifty-five. I had as much energy as a sloth in winter, now I have energy to spare to go out and ride my bike on a trail doing jumps on every bump along the way, as well as instruct kids!It has also helped me mentally, strange as it may sound my willpower has been improved by it as well, I can force myself to do things I normally wouldn't, like biking for two miles or holding horse stance for five minutes.

Sun Tzu's art of war was very helpful to, attack where you are strong and they weak and so on. It helped me learn sparring theory and overcome my weaknesses in sparring.I learned to live in the moment and not in what is to come. I certainly anticipate things, just not to the extent that I ignore the things that are going on around me.It also help me learn to keep track from day to day, if I just do everything every day life is easier.

Over all Ten Tigers has been a very pleasurable experience and I think that I will repeat it in future years either on my own, if I'm far away, or with Steven.I think this is the best way to exercise since the invention of the stationary bike.and I think that it was the best choice for me.

Eli.
