January 17, 2016


With just over a month remaining before the Chinese New Year celebration at Silent River, time is at a premium.  Currently I am juggling around aggravated muscles and joints, while trying to cram in the much needed practice of forms and weapons.
At times it can seem overwhelming, but not unexpected. Every year there is always a sense of urgency in getting things done.  Because I have limited opportunity every year to perform in the various demo’s through the year, I always feel there is a thick layer of rust that has to get worked out for a public performance.  Battling the demo challenges also means battling the feeling for the need for cram training.  I am brought back to the old saying, “Everything in moderation….including moderation”.
So with that in mind, repetition is on the menu. My highest focus is on the Sai, Lau Gar, and Kempo at this point.  Learning the dragon dance is good, but in the words of the kids these days, I feel like a NOOB. Burying the old habits in forms I am familiar while learning new habits in the form of the Dragon will prove to be a mixmash of Kung Fu awesomeness for the upcoming month.
