Where to practice?

aZnBboyN00b · **Where to practice? -** 07-10-2004, 11:20 AM

OK... I have no place to practice here.
My bedroom is tiny, my feet crash into stuff when I do footwork or practice mills.
Downstairs it is full of chairs and sofas, no room to even do footwork.
No basement or anything like that, this is my grandparent's house in Shanghai (usually live in LA) and it is on the 11th floor of a building. If i go down there is nothing but a driveway (lots of cars going by) and the little patches of grass are full of trees and flowers.
If I go past my building the sidewalk is full of bikers and people, they'd run over me AND laugh at my bad moves.
Any suggestions as to where I could practice?

practice on grass at a park nearby when the kids are all at camp or you can find a spot where nobody normaly goes to or you just arange a spot in your house like push everything to a sideand break

Does the apartment have a basement? If it does get some linolium and practice down there. Ask your landlord first though.

If it's that big of an apartment if might have some squash courts or something? What about on the roof?

OK... no basement, let me check if there is a roof but there is always the danger of falling 20 floors if i mess up a move.
yeah, i found a park and it has a nice field... where do I get a piece if lino to put on it? what kind of store? cause its usually all wet/sticky/muddy

Parks, mallz, downtown areas,

where there is room

FLEETFEET · 07-11-2004, 10:57 PM

man if your really in shanghai then just get to know the area around you and find a park where there are old people practicing tai chi in the morning. but you have to get up really early cuz they start at sunrise practice on concrete or stone. or find sum chinese bboys. why u asking us this bullshit?

_yeah try the basement of the apartment building or the roof. are there ne basketball courts or somethin around. even a mall. but usually in the mornings basketball courts an parks are empty so try those. break at the mall if you want to but realize its bound to draw crowds. find some bboys near you.

[an yo fleetfeet whats with the negativity he was askin an honest question. chill homeboy. im no mod but comments like that arent gonna get u very far.]

hope that helped aznbboy.peace.

most people are so nice... no offense to others cause I know my questions are kind of stupid.. but ok, i'll try the park. yeah, the old people doing tai chi kind of get in the way but there's bound to be an empty spot. Where do I search for chinese bboys by the way?

Mystik611 · 07-12-2004, 08:52 PM

tai chi is kool... kaus i practice it... anyways... u shudnt get in their way what u do is find urself a nice lil spot and they will not disturb u at all... when u practice tai chi ur really not aware of ur surroundings..

aZnBboyN00b · 07-13-2004, 07:29 AM

Ha, yeah, tai chi is awesome, I would practice it but my grandma told me not to cause it, uh, 'stunts my growth'.

Mystik611 · 07-13-2004, 04:07 PM

tai chi does not stunt ur growth!!! as a matter of fact tai chi is realll good for ur health n stuff... ok... i kan teach u some stuff that i studied... leave me a pm or if u have aim my s/n is kausin havoc101 pece

FLEETFEET · 07-15-2004, 03:07 PM

no offense dude, im just telling u to go out and explore ur surroundings and start finding sum real bboys. ur family sounds wack(no offense) and if they telling u crazy shit like tai chi stunts your growth then you seriously need to consider about the other things they saying. sides if your grandmom is sayin it she prolly just jealous of the other old people doing it in the park and communing with god and the infinite.
