Whew! It has been a week since I have written. It was so busy getting ready for Winter Camp last week. Winter Camp was probably the best camp ever from the point of view of running it, spirit, attendance, and learning for me. I had a chance to learn more of Chang-Kwon, and even see GM Choi perform the entire form at performance speed. For many it was the first time anyone had seen Grandmaster Choi perform a whole form! It was "mind numbing." I mean the power and life that was behind it was the difference between Mozart and us 6 year-olds.

We had a really good Tai-Chi master that taught us the fundamentals of tai-chi and a short form. It was amazing with his skills how much we learned in a short amount of time! It was very centering and relaxing. He also, demonstrated the combat application for all of the techniques on our black belts. He confidently applied what he had been teaching on his subjects.

We had anothe kung-fu teacher come in and teach us an ancient Shaolin form that I am really enjoying working on. It is very different than any of my other forms, and I may demo it at the tournament. On Sunday, I tested and became one of less than a dozen certified Kimoodo Teachers worldwide!
