  • Karate Jade

    Shorin ryu.
    According to Wikipedia, it is one of the oldest forms of karate there is. But while the martial art might be old, it certainly doesn’t mean the young can’t practice it.

  • Disc golf

    I’m not an athlete. Never have been, never will be.
    In middle school, I lagged behind in all of our runs. In high school, it was the same way. I’ve never played basketball or football in any sort of competitive form. I’ve never played tennis or rode a bike in any competitive form.
