Last Friday I attended the I Ho Chuan class, and I definitely benefited
from it. Starting at the beginning of April, my focus switched from
being on both Kung Fu and Powerlifting, to predominately Powerlifting
(as I geared up for nationals). After Nationals, my focus switched to
studying for exams, and ensuring that I did well and finished strong in
this semester. Now, with no national competitions and exams, I began to
switch my focus back to where it's required now: Kung Fu (and
powerlifting still).
Attending the I Ho Chuan class definitely switched my focus and passion
back onto Kung Fu (along with providing a nice hour long interlude to my
work shift). I'll admit that I was embarrassed and a little ashamed at
forgetting portions of Mlong Kuen, and I felt that my technique was
horrible. However, along with that, I am also excited, as it has given
me a little "checkpoint/waypoint," and now I'm able to conduct training
at a more committed and stronger pace. I'm also excited with this
weather, as I'll be more mobile (i.e. not getting stuck in my driveway)
and also able to train more often with my spear.
Cheers,
Sifu Joe Harrigan
