Recently I had a discussion with a parent who expressed how inspired he felt the I Ho Chun push up requirement was to him. He expressed how impressed he was whenever he saw myself and Sihing Tymchuck doing our sets of pushups and sit-ups, and publicly working towards our I Ho Chuan goals on the mats in full view of parents and students alike. He felt so inspired by it all that he has started working towards push ups at home and that he has been regularly doing over a hundred a night. This parent is not a regular student of the school only an engaged parent of one. This is exactly what the I Ho Chuan is all about. I consider this a huge victory for the I Ho Chuan program and the participants alike. This is one of the first victories of its sort and I would like to invite you all to recognize the magnitude of it. It proves that something as small as regular consistent work has the power to inspire change in people. We as a group have the potential to inspire huge change in the school, the art and then future of Kung-Fu. Everyone doing their goals in the view of the school has a part in this victory and you should share in the benefits of victory. Recognize that inspiration works both ways, when you inspire you feel inspired and this victory for our team has the power to inspire more victorys for our team. So when you are on the mats an you see a team mate working hard doing push ups and sit ups drop down then and there and push out as big a set as you can because remember the future of Kung Fu is watching and you can make a difference.
