yuppers, another training day is upon us. i trained tuesday & it was a pretty fast class i thought. there were quite fun, funny moments but it was the first class for most of us without the folks who went to level 2 & their absence was felt if not heard. boy it was on the quiet side! we did our best to motivate one another which i think some are so excellent at. [go qbertplaya!] this was especially true while doing forms. we ended with mabu/gongbu & that dingbu like stretch where you try to get your knee to your shoulder. i could have sworn sifu said something about growing two inches. i know quan tuo did! this week he's trained 3x already (including sunday) & tonight he plans on training with me old school level 1 style. that boy rocks!

after training tuesday a nice group of us (11 i think) went to our usual thai place for fuel. it was a giggly crew with lots of random talk covering myriad topics. someone even took photos of the group. good times.
i did have a pain in my knee the next day & a pain in my side because when i performing lunbi caijao, i turned but only the top part of the body turned, i left my legs behind! owie!

tonight i plan on getting to temple on the early side to help heng mo with the turtle tanks. yes, that is exactly how it sounds! hopefully we can do this & have enough time to stretch & warm up. then my focus is more chuji quantao practice,maybe learn more yiluquan (officially) & expending MORE CHI wherever possible. i thought i would be able to train yesterday [humpday] but it got too busy at the office. so i conveniently left my uniform & infamous playboy bag (the least tacky thing playboy makes, thanks to mario's gurl) at the office. if all goes well we can also train on sunday. friday is out due to our kung fu wine tasting courtesy of diageo & the wall of wine that friends & temple folks went in on (it was level 2 anyway) & saturday we may be too busy with clean-up, prep for that night's wine-tasting, tenzin's 3rd birthday party to make it to training.

more later on on tentoes' b-day party! hip! hip! hooray! tenzin is 3 this month!

more chi! train harder!
