As we move into the final weeks of the Year of the Snake, there’s a natural pull toward reflection. The Snake is a year of internal work—quiet strength, patience, shedding old layers—and this year has delivered exactly that. Growth has shown up not just physically through training, but mentally and spiritually as well. Foundations have been strengthened, awareness has deepened, and habits have evolved.
With the Year of the Horse approaching, the energy begins to shift. Where the Snake teaches us to refine and internalize, the Horse asks us to move forward with confidence and momentum. Preparation now matters. What we carry into the new year will shape how freely and powerfully we run.
At the end of this month, I’ll be stepping into a Self-Care course that includes meditation, journaling, and somatic mobility. It feels perfectly timed—an opportunity to integrate everything learned this year and to reset the nervous system before the pace increases. Self-care isn’t separate from Kung Fu; it’s part of the practice. How we recover, reflect, and regulate directly impacts how we move and show up.
The coming weeks will be busy with demo preparation. There’s a focused intensity to this phase—polishing details, refining timing, and committing movements fully to memory. The Buddha is finally coming together, and now the work shifts to precision: memorizing demo song start and stop times, syncing movement with sound, and trusting the training.
This is the bridge between years—the quiet discipline of the Snake giving way to the forward drive of the Horse. The work continues, but the direction is clear. Train with intention. Care for the body and mind. Finish the year strong, and step into the next one ready to move.
