Don´t forget the Winter

It is getting warm so people are starting to complain saying "It is horribly hot." me having an answer in my mind "What do you want in summer? If cold weather, move to Greenland."
So let me cool you by memory of winter.
We were planning (=chating about while drinking beer) with Štěpán Procházka (friend of our school from Toi-gye Prague, who is training with us as add-up to his training, but still he trains in our dojang more than some of our own students!) to go skiing as taekwondo event.
I was interested because Štěpán like to hurt himself while doing long jumps and various tricks. And I enjoy seeing other people suffer. And moreover there´s no boredom when he is in the house.
We were chating about it again after one of sparring seminars, but thank to endorfin happiness it started to come closer to reality as about 10 "Iwillforsuregowithyou" people appeared. After about 200 (!!!! guys you are talkative like girsl!!!) facebook messages and we were ready to go.
On photo you´ll see Austrian mountain beauty I cannot describe by words, freerides we spent most of our riding on, our groupphoto in the fog (=weather of the most of our trip), sleeping teacher and student, sorceress Veronika who is able to build Eifell tower from cards with smile on her lips and last but not least legendary Štěpán´s game with McDonlands bag for long nights.
What I was going to say by this article? Taekwondo is wonderful martial art, but as time goes by, relationships and adventures connected with it are at least as wonderful.
And maybe this will become nice tradition.

PS: Thank to Štěpán managing to organize what cannot be organized. To Honza for bringing punk van with 8 seats for 5 people which cannot go faster than 130km/hour but tachometer shows 170 (when Honza falls asleep). And then the rest of our group (Sonkal, Toi-gye, GBHS, Kosa gym) for great weekend

Carpe diem.
