  For those who don't live or have never been to Chicago in the dead of winter I'll tell you it sucks like you wouldn't believe. It is friggin cold as all hell especially with the wind chill. Nonetheless we had a demo to do on New Years Day and of course I woke up on New Years Eve sick as a dog, but don't worry I didn't let that stop me from going out to and getting belligerent drunk at a bar to ring in the new year. Needless to say I was reduced to being a cameraman for our event and most of our performance with Lion Dancing as well as Martial arts was performed by Chris usually know by Kuen or Fist or Fist neck as pictured below.
  
  
  
  The day was pretty eventful we had multiple demonstrations of Choy Lay Fut with Instructors Kelly, Francis and Joe performing our Lohan Fist form. Note how damn cold it was that everyone was still wearing their coats, hats, gloves and etc.
  
  
  
  Instructor Chris performing a form that I don't recall due to my intense hangover combined with my sickness and the 5hrs of sleep I got the night before because of my alcoholic binge.
  
  
  
  We continued the demo with our Ving Tsun Instructors Bob and Kingston doing a little Chi Sao or sticky hands sparring in front of the Emperor Wok.
  
  
  
  The Martial Arts demonstrations were followed up by some Lion Dancing where they were led by Sifu Sam Ng making sure they knew where to go and what they had to do.

  Lastly we finished up and watched some crazy monk's break long weak doll rods on one of there students...not illustrated, because not only did I not do anything but take pictures...I also managed to forget to charge my camera, so it died on me as the Lion Dancing was finishing up.
