Wing Chun.



I've been studying Wing Chun at the LA Wing Chun Academy in West Los Angeles for nearly 5 months now. The more I delve into it, the more intriguing it becomes, the more intriguing, the more frustrating. I know now that this isn't a process I am meant to complete, ever. Perfection does not exist. Knowing that there is always a goal is the spice of life.

I have set a goal for my wing chun training, and it is an attainable goal. Not perfection, but a stepping stone in the right direction. As I continue to see the effects in my physical appearance, others notice the effects in my spirit and seem to be happy for my change. That has been great encouragement to continue.

I have my level 2 grading in one week, and have been a bit nervous, but that's to be expected. I have some time to practice. I want to reach my orange sash soon so that I can start taking the intermediate and advanced classes and get some actual sparring in. When Sifu returns from London, all of us at the academy will be so far improved! Everyone has been training very hard and staying super-focused. I know he will be proud. The Si-Hings have done a great job so far motivating everyone.

Wish me luck in the grading :). I will make sure to keep you updated with my progress.
