My week

this week has gone by pretty quick. It’s weeks like this that we have to buckle down and get our training done because one day can easily sleep into 3 or 4. I made sure I kept myself mental aware of getting at least an hour of training in each day and just like the week, the hours went by quickly. However with those hours of training I have boosted my numbers greatly and each and every time I felt sore, but that good sore you feel after an intense work out. Throughout the rest of the year I am determined to keep practicing an hour a day every day, hopefully, improving in every way possible.

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.

 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.
