The Great Divide

 Okay, the title may be a bit dramatic, and this blog is about exactly the oppposite. It has been a busy couple of weeks with Kung Fu. 

The reason for the Title has to do with not dividing Kung Fu and everyday life. We had our 3rd fitness assessment the Saturday before last. While there is times I still struggle with not separating the fitness assessment with the whole of Kung Fu, I feel I have had more success this year. I am training to sustain, not for a fitness assessment. My fitness needs to be sustainable throughout. My fitness, and my life as a whole. It is not one or the other, it is one in the same. 

Our fitness assessment is a way to gauge where we are at. To see where adjustments may need to be made. It is not to completely change the course of how you train. My training at this point should be serving me as a whole. While I still have a ways to go for the benchmark, I was still fairly happy with the outcome. The last fitness assessment was 3 weeks after I had COVID, and it definitely reflected. I am back at a positive progression. 

We also had back to school week last week. This is an opportunity to make the Kwoon more a part of me. I do renos and upgrades around my own home, and make it somewhere I am proud to be. There is no difference to me at the Kwoon. I have the opportunity every year to provide my own care and attention to the Kwoon, and this year was no different. Every year provides a new project, and every year I enjoy being a part of it. 

No Division.
