Opportunities taken

This year we have been given a variety of opportunities through seminars offered.  I missed out on the first one hosted by Sifu Beckett and regretted it.  I didn't want to miss out on an opportunity again so I joined the Lion Dance and fitness seminars.  The experiences of both have added to my day to day Kung Fu, both mentally and physically.


Saturday was the Farmer's Day parade and I was able to be in a lion during the parade.  Hearing the kids oooh and awe when you passed by made me smile.  It made me want to be the lion.  Not a person under the lion.  I wanted to bring smiles to the people watching.  The young and the old. It makes me want to work harder so I can do the dance longer and better.  It was a great day but this would have not been possible without the Lion Dance seminar.


While we did the lion seminar, it also solidified that Kung Fu is not just an individual journey.  From Lion Dancing, Dragon team, Pandamonium, Chinese New Y ear,  I Ho Chuan team, open training, etc we are a part of a team.  Each person's journey is unique but it is never done alone. 


See you on the mats!  (And I can't wait for the next seminar!)
