I’ve seen youtube videos for aerial martial arts and sure  they might not have much purpose but you can’t deny that it looks kind of cool.

On Monday I asked my dad to teach me the butterfly kick.  We looked up a video and he watched it with interest and then he got up, laughed and told me no.  No?!  I’m not exactly sure I know the meaning of the word.  He was half joking, of course, and spent about 2 minutes explaining how I would start. Then he said I’d need more mats.

Ahem…yes, I’m clumsy.

Well now the idea is planted in my pretty little head and I’m going to learn how to do it.  It’s really not all that impressive but we all need some type of goal right?  I found a beginning tutorial using BOB.

But what I really want to do is this, Butterfly Twist.

You’re laughing aren’t you?
