Through my first week and my appetite for knowledge is ferocious. Every conscious and I would assume sub conscious thought are about martial arts. I am enjoying relearning skills I was doing at a level that I was comfortable. If I am able to always stay in this mind set I will accomplish any goal I set for myself. That mind set is moving into an uncomfortable state. The need to learn and move to the next milestone. I am asking myself am I doing every thing I can to right now to accomplish my goal.

This morning my equal came home from kung fu. First of all it starts at 6:40 AM and it is -33 who would like to talk about re-commitment, I am so proud of her. Then the greatest part of all.
“She say’s I learnt Kempo today”. She says smiling.
“I said all of part one in one day”.
“Yes she repeats would you like to see”.
“Come on of course I do”.
She moves through it no problem. I can not wait for her to show me more tonight as she ran off to get ready for work.

I have joined San Shou which starts tonight. I am a little excited and a little intimidated. I must remember it is about me and my journey every person in this class is going to help me down this path.

Here are my ponderings, I have an aggressive personality. Yet I am very passive and non confrontational in most cases. Now don’t get me wrong if I am correct on an issue I will argue with you until you see it my way. I do see this as a character flaw, but nobody is perfect and I am trying to change. I am extremely competitive and due to arrogance mainly I have quashed competition out of my life. My hope is to learn to humble and enjoy competition again.

This week has started out incredibly I can’t wait for more.
