Kung Fu is rocking. It is kind of hard to go back to, after so long away and having learnt so much since then. It is sometimes difficult to stop myself reverting to where I was at when I was training all those years ago. HOWEVER! as anyone in my house can tell you I am loving it! I have a new courtyard to train in, and attend class 2-3 times a week. I found out last night that my Da Shi (my teachers’ teacher, more on him in a minute) loves computer games. How kewl is that! 🙂 I get visions of the Buddhist and Gong Fu master calmy approaching a couch, and then with disarming clarity kicking some serious ass! Rock on.
Da Shi is one of those people who invokes awe in even the most critical cynic (I know, I invited one along one time). He teaches you, really teaches you and it is both terrifying and electrifying. Knowing oneself certainly goes way beyond what shoe size you have 🙂 and looking at yourself truly honestly, is one of the most difficult things. I constantly am inspired.
Pants Palais (as Craige calls it) is great. Airy, clean, spacious, and it has a pool and sauna. The three of us are in heaven 🙂 Housewarming in a few weeks 🙂
