I like heeling so much that instead of one shopping trip, I often make more frequent smaller trips to the shops, so that I only have a max of two shopping bags to take back to the car, which I can generally handle whilst heeling :D
And when I go in the car, I generally now park as far from the store as possible, instead of as close as possible like I used to, and like everyone else still does, so that I can heel the whole length of the parking lot.  I find it far better parking a long way from the store, always space, and the metallic paint gets scraped less often (less chance of cars being parked close, less clumsy people passing with trolleys to their cars, etc)
Heeling is becoming a religion for me - with a ton of benefits to life all around - health, fun, etc. |
also true. |

I don't get much time for hobbies with school and all. But I do love karate, I just made black belt a month ago!!! I also play flute in the community band, knit, SCUBA dive and kayak.

Funny you should mention karate - I used to do it years back, and am always thinking how heeling could be incorporated to throw off your opponent LOL. For example, as you block and change stance to step back, you could powerslide backwards, so that you can get further out of your opponent's reach with only one quick step - maybe even pull them with you if you grab their extended punching arm and pull back fast - it would be well disorientating for them if they didn't expect it, and apart from being physically off balance they'd probably still be wondering how the hell you slid back for long enough for you to get another couple of good strikes in
Of course you're balance would also be altered as you can only step on your forefoot, so it would take some getting used to, but if you were used to it and the opponent wasn't I'm sure it could give an advantage of surprise at the least. |

| I used to do Tae-Kwon-Do, and got to my blue belt, but then didn't have time |
