Wow this week was an inspiration to me. It was Chinese New Year and I completed some challenges for myself and was awed watching how our Kwoon came together to make the banquet a great success.
I managed to complete 750 push-ups and situps on Feb 3. It wasn't easy but I made it through the pain in my shoulder and did smaller sets when it got uncomfortable. Thanks to Sihing Weibe for the suggestion of doing more crunches then full situps, it saved my back and still gave me a great ab workout.
Watching how people just stepped up and did what was needed to make the banquet go smoothly was truly awesome to see. Its not often you see people being so selfless and working so well together. Two other things happened at the banquet that truly made me go wow and inspired me to really focus even more on what I want to achieve with my Kung fu. The first was the demos by the black belts. Such fluidity and amazing technigue was great to see. I hope, no I will achieve that someday. Second, my son was awarded the leadership award for intermediate black dragons. To see the look on his face and the spark it lit in him was very moving for me. I joined kung fu so that we could train and spend more time together. Kung fu is becoming my passion even more then his, funny how that works. Jordan inspires me to be a better person and a good example, sometimes I goof but he never judges me, he just accepts that dad isn't perfect and loves me for who I am. I can't do any less for him.
