People who really helped me when I needed help

I sometimes believe that it was faith that I should start practicing internal kung fu, chi kung and Taoist meditation. They saved my sanity and my life. The faith or Tao, call it what you want, introduced me to some amazing people who helped me when I needed help, and brought me, and kept me on the internal kung fu path.

I was born breached, which means that instead of coming out head first, I came out leg first, sideways. The birth took place in a small town hospital, which was not equipped for cesarean section. Both me and my mother were in danger of dying. In the end they decided to pull me out by the leg and save the mother. Luckily I survived, but my hips and my pelvis were badly injured. This injury was never properly treated, and as a consequence, my whole pelvic area stayed twisted, which caused the spine to get twisted as well. What saved me during birth was the fact that I have hyper extendable joints. Of course, this can become a nightmare when you are child, as you joints will just not stop twisting by themselves. This led to both of my ankles and both of my elbows being dislocated multiple times. Eventually this also led to one of my ankles being badly damaged in a sports incident. Then I was conscripted into the army, where I ended up with a back injury, and shrapnel wound. I started practicing martial arts in my late twenties, in order to strengthen my body. I was always interested in martial arts, but never got around to practice it before, except for a short self defense training course I had in the army. I started training taekwondo, and was getting really god at it. Then I went into a sparing and ended up with a twisted knee. The injury forced me to stop training taekwondo, as I was not able to put any weight on my right leg.
On top of these physical injuries, I carried numerous psychological and emotional scars that I picked up while going through prisons, wars and just life. I was pretty much a physical and emotional wreck. But as i said I was lucky to meet some amazing people, who helped me get back into life and martial arts training.

Here they are. Call them if you need help.
