Kindness Project

I wanted to talk about Todai Bauers kindness project sooner but I wanted to do it justice and truly express how much it has affected me. I came to realize that I wouldn’t really be able to do this as its something I don’t think mere words express.

I am truly humbled by what everyone wrote and I wish I knew who wrote what. Everyone of them meant a lot to me and I would want to thank them personally. I know that is not possible so I would like to thank everyone on the team personally. It is amazing to be surrounded by such a great group of people.

One more thought on this. I will be honest that there have been times in the past where I have thought about not continuing with my training. I have been gone for long stretches and there was no zoom before so when I was gone, I was gone. Even after zoom, I felt like I had lost my purpose at the Kwoon. I was no longer instructing any classes and I would show up every so often but not really be there. Instead of quitting though, I found something that I was passionate about and that got me engaged again. As most, if not all of you are aware, this was grappling, sparring, Sanda and the Lion Dance. The point of this is when I read the comments, there was a lot about these aspects of my training there. And this has only fueled my passion to continue to expand and hone my skills to better help pass them on to my training mates. So again, thank you all, truly from the bottom of my heart.
