Year of The Ox Challenge!

 

Year of The Ox - Feb 12, 2021 Challenge

Friday, Feb 12th is the start of the Year of The Ox.  The I Ho Chuan team will start the year off with a challenge of 1000 push ups, 1000 sit ups, 1000 calories and 5 liters of water in a day but this challenge is for the entire school, that means YOU!  It is a great way to kick off the new year and  a way to be active during this pandemic.  Please join us by posting your progress on this blog.  As I need the entire 24 hours  (LOL), I will be doing my day on Saturday the 13th.  Great way to balance that chocolate intake on the 14th!

If you are wondering what the I Ho Chuan team is about, please take a look on the website (https://www.silentriverkungfu.ca/i-ho-chuan) or ask a Sifu.  

If you were born in 1925,1937,1949,1961,1973,1985,1997,2009 or 2021 you are an Ox.  Characteristics as described from chinesenewyear.net are as follows:

Oxen are honest and earnest. They are low key and never look for praise or to be the center of attention. This often hides their talent, but they’ll gain recognition through their hard work.

They believe that everyone should do what’s asked for them and stay within their bounds. Though they are kind, it’s difficult for them to understand persuasion using pathos. Rarely losing your temper, they think logically and make great leaders.
