You know how sometimes when you  try to change things and it just wont happen?

The answer is to just let it be, even if we do not like the answer there is always a reason why!

I have learned a lot about myself this summer! and why it is that I am singleand this is simple... I like being single ! Maybe my journey is about the art and through the art I feel I will someday eventually meet my soulmate! I never really feel alone when I train. I feel the love and passion of the past and present masters of this beautiful art  in me so I feel at one with many .

Peace

So I am lying on this bed getting accupuncture and the guy says... your lower back is in total spasm what kinda exercise do you do? I said ,Kung Fu ! and then he says Oh I guess I wont mess with you hahaha! I should of expected this reaction ,but it always still surprises me! I told him it is not about the fight , but how it makes you feel...the fight is just the icing on the cake!. I know I have been hard on my body,but I am pretty sure most of the damge was done back in my 20's .How can you explain to someone why you train such a sport with so many injuries? I will tell you how I feel about it! learning the art is a progression ,it does not come in one answer ..but in many! lets face it when we first start to train it is about the fight ,so you train and train hard! then it becomes an addiction then slowly you become it and it becomes you! Some martial artist train for their whole careers never getting past the fight and totaly miss the beauty ..for shame! If we as older students could know then what we know now we would have not been in such a rush! The ultimate in training is when you are no longer using force but redirecting negative energy coming your way..Now that is true beauty ,that is Kung Fu!

I wish every one peace and good training :):)

First and foremost ,Thank you for visiting my blog!

It is by chance ,that I'm on here! I've always admired Jet Li for his style and Technique. He displays what the true emotinand beauty of the art is, for that is exactly what it is...example say you and I train the same art everyday,did the same amount of basics and techniques. We would never be the same in our style ,we would not execute our skill the same way.Its how we precieve the artand what works well for the individual, thus making your kung fu your art...dose that make sense? We all are different and unique. Some are hard style some are soft, Yes kung fu is both! Ying and Yang , The individual eventualy combindes both to become a master. This is a process of time, patience and alot of dedication , ... to  except and to learn from ones mistakes and to over come and conqure the hurdels along the way! Even a Grand Master will tell you, that their journey is not complete, because the art is so vast....created by thousands of generations of practitioners.No one person could ever obtain the whole art and its possibilities.

  You know as I have the privaledge to teach this art , I can't help but travel back to the first days of my training, How exciting and frustrating all at the same time!  I see this in my younger students and I tell them... Never assume you know a form or technique,unless it is reaction instead of thought ! You have not mastered a thing ! and that says alot , because our Grand master and masters still come out to train the basics ! I say this more to my younger belts in sparring. They come to me frustrated becausethey are still thinking their next move or their anxious to get to the next belt level . I tell them that each step is vital!!, this is the foundation of their art,also to imagine they are blind, first you would have to learn how to read braille , inorder to read the book...so think of your art as such, practise your forms and techniques all the time,let them become a part of you and after a while it will flow like water because you can finally see the forms for what they truly mean!
