As we come to the end of another year of the I Ho Chuan, I have been thinking about why I still train. The first thing that popped into my head is because I enjoy it. It just makes me feel good about myself and like I am accomplishing something.
There are other reasons as well. It is a great way to stay in shape but it also helps me want to stay in shape. In motivates me to continuosly try to improve which also translates to my world outside of Kung Fu. And the biggest reason, is it allows me to hang around with like minded people and that is truly great.
This has not been an ideal year for training and I don't feel like I have been the best black belt I could be. I always felt there was something more I could be doing but I still haven't figured out what that is yet. Motivation has sometimes started to wane but I decide to focus on just doing and continuously trying to improve.
My goal this past year and carrying into this year is to work on sparring and grappling so when we are able to do this I will hopefully be able to pass on some knowledge to the school. That day that we can train together again will come, but for now I keep researching and working on things as best I can.
