And Back to the Grind!

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
