May I practice bodybuilding and taekwondo?

Are developed muscles an obstacle to flying kicks and other tkd techniques?

lets try this again?

what do you love or respect about a religion other than your own…. this time i’ll try to be more specific. i do not want to hear how much you love your own religion. i do not to hear about how much you hate religion in general….. think about one specific practice of another religion that you really respect

ill start: i’m a muslim and i love islam….. i think that buddhist meditation is very beautiful. true buddhists really do center themselves. if you ever have a chance to know a buddhist they are very peaceful people

ok…. now your turn….
i like these answers much better :) …………

The Spiritual Side to all martlal arts?

a true martial arts to me as I am discovering as time proceeds is beyond just fighting it seems the more I practice my martial art the less trouble I get into and the less fights I get into you would think It would encourage more fighting but it has actually made me turn from a gang banger cholo fool into a peaceful regular guy I have always been humble but I used to carry a vast amount of anger and depression which has greatly ceased. the wing chun I practice emphasizes sensitivity the tai chi emphasizes even more sensitivity and the nui gong (Chi Gong) breathing exercises emphasize focus peace softness and positive energy I remember before i entered martial arts I had two choices I has a few hundred bucks in my pocket ( a rare thing for my broke a$$ lol ) now I had two options I was going to go through with fully .

1. Buy a gun
2. Use the money to join a martial arts school and learn how to fight

I knew the outcome of option one I would of killed someone with the gun, would of been hurt badly, commited suicide with the gun, or ended up in prison from using the gun. those were the only outcomes and I knew all of them

However I didnt know and still dont know the outcome of choosing martial arts to me it seems there are endless outcomes I am enthused to learn but not even for the fighting so much anymore to me thats just the tip of the iceberg a very little aspect that comes with a larger gain what the entire gain is im not so sure its outcomes like I say are limitless. But to me it is a spritual journey to discover my true being it is something I will do for my entire life

I just wonder the spiritual side of each martial art do you think that is real as i do? if so do you also believe different martial arts effect you spiritually than others? how has it effected your life?
