Shout Out

So I sit here, keyboard on my lap, trying to think of what this year's I Ho Chuan has taught me. But my brain is wandering, and I find myself thinking instead of several Kwoon Talk posts over the last couple weeks.

Mr. Smid, you're an inspiration to me. I haven't a clue who you are, how long you've been part of the family or what you look like (besides the tiny google groups picture) but I find myself pondering your posts. If only I had been in the mindset you are in when I was a white belt, oh the places I'd go. Who am I kidding, if only I was in that mindset now! Twenty years later, and I find myself reminded that anyone can learn from anyone. Encouragement can creep up on you anytime, anywhere. Dude, you should be on the Horse Team. You could be the catalyst for that team, if you so choose to be.

Thank you for the kind words, Sifu Rybak. It seems like every day I have new questions and I’m thankful for all the responses I get. I can tell already that choosing to study Kung Fu is going to be one of the best decisions I’ll ever make. FYI – I’ve been a member of the family since the beginning of September. I was referred to SRKF (sort of) by Danielle Edge, who is my cousin. She’s answered quite a few questions for me as well. And I don’t know what the Horse team is. 
