Chinese New Year celebration!



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!
