As a teenager, I hated Physical Education lessons. I was not very good at sports, and I hated team sports because I always felt like I was disappointing the rest of the team. I was always making up excuses to get out of lessons. During these years, I sometimes felt disconnected from my body, like only my brain was “me” and my body was just a vehicle for carrying my brain around.
When I started university, I decided to try kung fu. To my surprise, I loved it! I used to go two or three times a week to train. Because it is not a team sport, I didn't feel guilty about not being very good. When doing kung fu, you train in pairs, which means that you get to meet people and talk to them. I also appreciated that the focus of the classes was on getting better at kung fu, rather than exercising to change my body. When I was doing kung fu, my body did change—I got stronger and quicker—but the changes were a side effect of the sport, instead of the goal. Unfortunately, in the last year of university I was too busy to do kung fu most of the time.
When I moved to Italy this year I decided I wanted to start doing another combat sport. I found a great local club that does mixed martial arts （ 武术 ） and I love it. When I was a teenager, I would say I just wasn't a sporty person and that I just didn't like sport and never would. Now I think that everyone should try as many sports as possible because I believe there is something out there for everyone! I feel connected to my body and I am happier and have more energy when I have been doing sport.
