Well spring has finally sprung. This has to be my favorite time of year.For me its a time of renewal.The yard is fresh for new plants and the sap starts flowing in the trees. I can finally throw open the windows and air out the house.Its a great time of year to shake some of the cobwebs out of my mind.I have been doing an inventory if you like on my training too. Some spring cleaning. I have had a great winter in the kwoon.What a privilege it has been to watch the white/yellow class come into their own.Every class I attend renews my belief in the martial arts.Every student has a different strength. Their own road to discovery. It is like spring,its like watching them wake up after a long rest.
My private joke is that they think I'm there to teach them when in reality they are teaching me.I am humbled be some of the obstacles people are able to over come.At the end of each class I don't just want to clap, I want to jump up and down and yell " Did you see that? Did you see what they did tonight?" I want to take some of that energy and bring it home to apply to my every day life and my training, if I could bottle a little of that I could make a million...
So the answer to my question "where am I going in my training" has to be I want to be better, faster, stronger so I can bring this to the students journeying along beside me, so that I too can have the courage to challenge myself and inspire those around me.

Awesome blog Sifu. I am right beside you on the jumping up and down and yelling at the end of class. The energy and excitement in the beginner class definately helps lift spirits and strengthen my passion. Sifu Stoddart
