Pretty awesome when -20 feels like relief from the cold. Hey as long as the sun is shining I am happy. Tough time of year to be schedule orientated with so many seasonal events. Yet I still very connected to my requirements. Pushups and Acts of kindness still seem to be my engine. I really need to concentrate on involving my other requirements with the same forward thought.

Last night’s San Shou class was so great for so many reasons. San Shou (traditional Chinese sparring) is our Tuesday night sparring class. Last night Sifu Prince taught the class he always brings so much positive energy. Most of what Sifu covered last night he has shown us before. At the end he pointed out this is a great example of pyramid training. The broader the base of your basic knowledge the more you can add on and learn in the future. So for getting tapped out and losing a decision I could not have had any more fun. Also another revelation, I never said I was quick. I have a requirement of 1000 rounds of sparring to complete this year roughly 7.5 per week. In the three weeks I have accomplished the weekly requirement twice both weeks I attended San Shou class. Not that all the rounds are in class but for warm up and practice I do a few rounds earlier that day. Then find I am still a little pumped after so the next day I have found myself going a few rounds. So staying connected to your classes helps fuel the process. Again I never said I was quick.

The next two weeks should be very interesting I have set some lofty personal goals.
