hanging it up
Yep, its true--I am hanging up my belts for good. I have officially retired from kungfu. Why I know is the inevitable question...and that's pretty long and involved. I've actually been thinking about it since I became Sihing, and after spending some time soul searching on vacation, I finally am bowing out. And believe it or not, I'm very relieved that I finally had the courage to admit both to myself and everyone else that I don't want to go any further. I will still be doing my personal goals--I haven't given up on my goals. I'm even still doing my pushups and situps! Mostly I will miss the people, the teammates past and present. Getting to know so many people from so many different walks of life was the best thing I take away from all of this. I will try to keep blogging but it will be only on my personal blog. I'd be honored to still hear from everyone. And if anyone still wants to stay in touch, Sihing Donahue and Sifu Regier both have my email and cell phone number. I'd be glad to hear from any of you. Hugs all around...and I cant wait to see everyone at Mudheros 
again next year:)

I had a feeling something is going on. :-( I will miss you in class but I'm hoping to see you next summer on one of these lakes kayaking. :-)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely should see you before then. don't be a stranger:)
DeleteI'm very sad to hear this. I'll definitely miss you around the kwoon. I hope that this decision wasn't because of fear of failure, if not, I sincerely wish you the best and really enjoyed the short time I had getting to know you. If so, hopefully one day you come back.
ReplyDeletei am sad to know that you are leaving. i can personally relate to what you are feeling right now. when i did quit kung fu i felt the exact same way i felt better, i felt like i could breath again. i get that. now i am not trying to change your decisions in leaving. i am just saying i respect your decision no matter what, because i have done the same thing too. but just on a side note i want to let you know that kung fu will always welcome you back and we will always be ready to help you if you need it. It took me 3 years to want to come back. now maybe you will never come back, or maybe you will. I'm just letting you know that kung fu this place of positivity will always be here for you.
ReplyDeleteWho am I to envy for their spear form now!? Thank you Sihing for all that I have learned from you. I really enjoyed training with you. I too am very sad to see you go, but be sure I will be keeping in contact to see how things are going.
