This past Saturday was our annual Silent River Kung Fu
Chinese New Year’s celebration. It was
an amazing night! This was the very
first time I saw a black belt promotion (didn’t go to last years and the year
before there weren’t any promotions) and it was amazing! The room went almost silent and I think I was
holding my breath and didn’t blink the whole time. That whole time I was thinking to myself that
that will be me in a few years; I started to visualize myself kneeling in front
of Sifu Brinker and Mast McDonald as well as all of the other Sifu’s and my
family. The road to black belt has been
a lot of ups and downs and there will be many more. However I think the most important thing for
me is to visualize the goal and start to see myself in the same place that our
two newest black belts were on Saturday night.
I am more energized than I have been in a long time just watching the
demos put on by both black belts and the I HO Chuan dragon team. I am part of the Snake Team and I can’t wait
to get started! I can’t wait to be part
of the lion dance, can’t wait to perform publicly and contribute to the SRKF
family! It is going to be a great year
and we have one of the strongest teams ever!
Congratulations to our two newest black belts Sifu Robinson
and Sifu Alana Regier. You both are
amazing and you did an incredible job this past Saturday!
