I’d like to introduce my violent side

A few years back, when I was still at uni and had some free time on my hands I was right into Tae Kwon Do. And I mean all in – training five times a week, competitions and drunk displays of my skills* at uni parties. But since a career in journalism means that I will never have free time again, this commitment to training has waned and my relationship with TKD has become rocky.

For a few months every year I get motivated/delusional and work over weekends and into the nights so that I can spare an evening to training. These months are beautiful but fleeting, because it turns out a human body needs sleep if it is to function without drooling and snoring on public transport.
