Kwoon Excitement

It's hard to believe that my 4 weeks at home is coming to an end already. The time seems to have gone by so quickly but it has been very successful in my opinion. I have managed to get in some practice with my spear (not a broom handle). I also was able to get in some much needed Tai Chi practice.

There were 2 big things that really helped to boost me up this time. The first one is I got to start teaching some one on ones. Being able to work with students and answer questions has always been one of my greatest tools. It allows me to really think about a technique and why it is done that way. Teaching has always been my favorite part of Kung Fu and I will miss doing it for the next four weeks but look forward to doing it when I get back.

The other big thing is being back at the Kwoon. Even with the restrictions in place, it just felt right to be back there with everyone. You could feel the excitement in and the energy was fantastic. I am glad I was able to be a part of the reopening and look forward to seeing you all again soon. I will still be attending classes but it will be online only for the next little while. Hopefully when I return we will all be able to be on the mats again together.

Back Home

I have been home for a week now and it has been great. It is nice to be around friends and family again even if we are still limited with the amount of contact we have. The one thing that I have noticed, is I seem to be more busy now than I am at work. there are so many things to do when you are gone for so long. The one thing that I am trying to keep in front of me is my training. I am very limited in space at the mine so I need to taker advantage of my opportunities at home. With so many things to do it can get lost in the everyday things so I am trying to spend an hour a day just on Kung Fu. Some days it is a bit below but other days have been above.

Still got a lot of work to do with my spear, but the hand form is progressing nicely.
