I reached another milestone today, one for which I am very excited about. I finished my third self-created form (at least the rough draft of it). It is called the Mantis Sweeping Bow and it is so fun ... and challenging. I look forward to deepening the strength of it and showing it to Sifu soon. This is the last self-created form for me to finish before testing for 2nd degree. If Sifu likes it, I get to move onto learning the final form before the 2nd degree test. Wahoo!

Yesterday's 8 mile hike was incredible. What a memory! The wind was energetic and gave enormous energy. We had figured it was about 60 mph, but after reading this article it might have been more. We literally felt like we were flying in some parts of our hike. After the hike we cooked organic food in the parking lot and drank shots of fire cider (non-alcoholic drink that is made with apple cider vinegar, horseradish, garlic, cayenne, onions, ginger and ginseng). At 6:00 pm we were all…

Day off from work, not from work out. 5 mile hike, 2.5 miles up a forest road and back down again, walking, jogging, and sprinting. Need to do more sprints they were tuff. Did form Yet Sum five times on hike, and a one minute horse stance at the end of the hike just to see if I could. I could. Organic salad after hike to replenish my body. Hope to see EVERYBODY at the hike this Sunday. Happy day.

I just finished hitting everything in the technique chart up to my belt rank for the month. Time to start over and practice it again. Today so far, double stick drills, wing chun trapping drills, single stick free flow, (David Gardner helped me out), JKD and Dynamic lock flow, single stick drills (5 part, Punyo Sumbrada, and Hubud). Practice, practice, and more practice. Happy day.

Yesterday my workout was to shovel 10 inches of snow off my 200 foot long driveway.

This week I had a mission! I had to dig a trench in the green house that was 44 inches wide , 27 inches deep, and the entire length of the green house which is  14 feet.  Now to protect my back I decided to do our Kung Fu stretching just before and take a 10 min break every hour to hydrate and do more stretching. I took extra mangnesium and had my daughter Mel bring me green tea at break times. Liz and PJ were on the dirt bucket brigade as the dirt had to be hauled outside. Very tedious.…

Sifu asked us in a email today to do at least 20min free flow, 40 push-ups, etc. I calculated the kicks out to be 760 total kicks for my belt rank, green. So I threw in 2 extras so I wouldn't be doing the bare minimum. That was a tuff mountain to climb today, but I feel great that I accomplished it. 762 KICKS! As you can probably tell I've never done that before.

I joined Moutain Warrior Kung Fu 2 years ago today. I think it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Thank you Sifu. I am a Green Belt now, going to every class I can and taking private lessons once a month to further my knowledge of the Kung Fu Arts. I encourage all you warriors to take private lessons, they help give you an understanding to the techniques that we learn in class and so much more. Sifu reveals the secrets a little at a time each private lesson, but a little is all you need… Continue

The class yesterday was very enjoyable. I left with so much product and knowledge, I feel I should have paid triple what the class cost. Sue and Sofia, your very generous and I apreciate all the time and effort you spent to make the class fun and entertaining. Thank you.
