my boi started doing kung fu about a year ago (he's doing a live in apprenticeship ata a kung fu school)
it's been a really positive thing for him...taking some focus off of drug-related activities, teaching him how to set goals and acheive them, and learning to approach life with a new angle. anyone interested should really look into it. i've seen nothing but good things! (and this guy sounds pretty accredited too)
