Heathen Board

Nice! A very rough, aggressive style. The teacher who taught me Northern Shaolin also took that form. I've thought it was essential for a balance between soft and hard forms, Northern Shaolin being the more graceful style while something like Boxing or Krav Maga being a more aggressive style. Has good results

I've won some tournaments with it, but that was a long time ago. I've forgotten most of it and I don't know of any place around here that teaches it.

Yeah, you see that with most traditional styles. Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai and Ju Jitsu are taking over. There's nothing wrong with those styles, but there's a lot missing from those that are offered in other various forms.

yea, it sucks.

I don't use the term patron but but the god I feel kin with the most, trust with every fibre of my being and have sworn personal oath to is Thunor. Hael Thunor!

like

Being shamanic rather than Heathen (per se)

I can't say that I have a "Patron"

My calling started with Freya...who being the fickle whatnot that she is pops in occasionally...The Woden started to take an interest...but Woden is a bit aloof and doesn't get involved much...Loki was a surprise but there is a lot that can be learned from him....never fully trust him though and have to see through the wyrd a bit..Thunor is the protector

more than gods - who I'll light a candle to and leave out a drop of Jaegermeister for - I work with Disir and alfar and use both fylgia and Hugr in my wanderings

it's complicated
