The kwoon clean up

The kwoon clean up is always something I enjoy because it is a whole bunch of people getting together to reach a common goal. There was many different jobs being done all at once. Some of them include cleaning up Tanarama, whipper snipping, raking grass, bagging grass, sweeping the road, etc.

Finding people that can work with anyone is a pretty rare thing to find now a days. It is also very hard to learn. Most of it however, is getting over the fact that you don't like the person and get down to work. Being able to work with others and achieve a common goal is a major part to being successful in life. Sometimes you can get lucky and you can find someone that you can work well with. Sometimes you have to go out of your convert zone and try to work with different people. Each and every person has something different to teach you and it could be what you least expect. working with different people can really change your point of view on a certain topic even if you had a strong bias for it.

The moral of this blog is to encourage people to get out there and try your best to work with everyone including the people you hate. If you don't work well with someone then you don't need to work with them again. It's as simple as that.

I am an artist

 I am an artist. With the new year of I Ho Chuan rolling in, everyone is starting their own journey with a new and unique weapon. For me, this is the staff. As I was creating said form, it occurred to me that every form we do, every application we practice, it’s all art. It’s about being abstract yet simple. Challenging yet easy. Each and everyone one of us has our own unique way of doing a form or an application. There is no right or wrong way to create art. Art is art just as kung fu is kung fu. The more you practice and stay dedicated, the greater of an artist you will become. We are all artists on our own journey to create a masterpiece.

Starting anew

 As all of you have heard tonight, I have been greatly lacking in blogging this year. I missed one week and that turned to two weeks then a month then half the year. After tonights meeting I thought to myself, what better time to start blogging then now, so here I am, living in the moment and starting anew. Each day is another chance for you to start anew, to improve, to train, to positively change the world around you. Something that I have heard countless times during my journey in kung fu is to never compare yourself to the people beside you. Compare yourself to you yesterday and each day become better. Right now, today me is better the yesterday me because of this blog. It’s important to keep in mind the improvement you have made over the days or the months or even the years and blogging is the perfect way to do just that. I deeply regret not blogging these past months because I have lost out on a 6 month portion of my training that I won’t remember 50 years down the road. That...

Struggles

 Struggles. We all have them. Some struggles are bigger then others. Some may be reoccurring and some may be a one and done. However the only thing that is common between all struggles is that they are all another obstacle in our life. For me, my biggest struggle this year has been blogging. I can give a thousand excuses why I didn’t blog but that doesn’t change the fact that I didn’t blog. Struggles are also learnings opportunities. Instead of just identifying a struggle then mitigating it, learn from it, figure out why it happened and find the best way to keep it from happening again. How we react and adapt to struggles directly affects our life so we have to make sure we do it the right way.
