AHA

On class on Monday, Sifu Brinker told the Blue/Brown class that they should take advantage of their opportunities. Specifically, he was referring to attending the White/Yellow class before and the Orange/Green class after. I have been attending all three classes since December and it has had a huge impact on my training. The key is not to just attend but to also actively participate. There is so much to remember for your black belt test that you need to constantly practice everything from white belt to brown belt. These classes have allowed me to start to perfect some of the techniques .I still have a long way to go but when you have an aha moment like last night (right Sihing Kichko) it makes you realize why these classes are important.

Training

Once again, I am late posting my blog. Even though things have settled down a bit, I still seem to be behind. January took a lot of effort and extra training. Don’t get me wrong it was well worth it and it has made the ramping up of my own training easier. I still have some doubts if I will be ready this year but they are coming less and less. Only 7.5 months to go.

Whew

The banqet is over and I survived (as did the lion). It has been a stressful month of practice but I can now focus on my Kung Fu again. The UBBT numbers have dipped a bit but i now have some extra time again so I should be caught up by next week. I need to shift my focus to preparing to grade for my black belt as that is my major goal for this year.
