Last week was tough getting ready for the tournament, but I was so satisfied with my performance and how the whole tournament ran! For most people, they never think they are good enough or ready enough to perform, compete, or test. The reality is that we are perfect in the NOW already, and that the best way to get grow and share what we have learned is to put it out there.

I encourage students to take every opportunity to demonstrate what you have learned. It could be you family, friends, or strangers like the upcoming Battle of Columbus. I am very happy that Kenyon College was able to finally confirm our original Summer Camp dates, so that I could make proper arrangements. I really hope I don't get "snowed-out" of my lesson with Grandmaster Choi again this week! I am really ready to work on the two-person kung-fu form.

A sincere thanks to Sally and everyone who gave many hours of time in planning, setting-up, running, and cleaning-up out tournament this year; it was really outstanding!
