Time to sit quietly and look inside!

I wish I had more time to write right now, but it has been hard enough to find time and energy to work on my thesis paper. I started my fasting period officially as of yesterday, but I have been tapering for some time now. My last practice with Grandmaster Choi was punishing on my first day of fasting! He had us do every basic form: mushim, innae, geukgi, daemahng-chun (including a new number eight many, many times), daemahng-ji, and then all eight palgwe forms, and then all of our sixth dan requirements. It was one of my most challenging work-outs ever.

It looks like I have all of my members of my sixth dan team assembled. I t is just a challenge to get them all on the same night to practice.

My training is coming along very well. I am smoothing-out the forms I have learned, and am focusing my time on my self defense and breaking routines!

It is getting exciting to see so many of my students like Joe Tolle, Tony Barker, Rachel Ancona, and Kevin Bruns who have been students for over 20 years are coming out to be assistants at my testing!
