Hi. Its kinda late, I am really tired, so ramblers, lets get rambling! This was another good week. Got some more good numbers up, which I always intend to post but don't. Anyhow, I am still working diligently on my hand form and its coming well. Starting to feel like I am sitting in my stances as opposed to anything else again. Feels good. Though I still have a bit of a tendency to stand when doing the kick combinations closer to the end of the form. That's okay. If I turn off my institutional florescent lighting and turn on the stove light I get a sweet shadow on the walls, which makes watching for the up and downs much easier. Being aware of the problem is half the battle too. Makes for a good night in my eyes.
My kicks are getting stronger and stronger. These last two weeks I've really been focusing on form with the kicks, not so much mass quantities. Fantastic. Stop at each point in the kick, make sure mechanics are correct. Slow down and build that kick properly, than the speed and power will come back. Its a day I look forward to, simply, so I can over step my prior Kung Fu highs and be better than before. Each day, if I become even half a percent better than yesterday, its a good day!
Well, this gonna be it, no real rambelings tonight. This guy is beat. I thinks its day 20, maybe 19. Im not sure yet, what the travel day is. ha ha ha ahhh. Good times! anhhow, have a good week, and keep kicking kicking fellow kung fuers
Thanks for your time

Another one Gets 'Er
Well, hi ya there! So, this was a good week. Definitely had its moments of fantastic sprinkled with fresh turds. No real bad days, just sucky moments. Had a lot in a row right at the end of the week. Ha. Them challenges life likes to toss out for you. Like want another serving? Oh yeah! Cant wait oh please!! Good grief. I have learnt I don't have to get all mad and upset about things. I have learnt to check myself and my breathing and normally hold onto this pony. I wouldn't mind cleaning up my language. I keep things clean here, but, its iffy at best outside of that! haha. Breathing techniques and the meditations practiced do help with, I guess zoning in on the situation and crushing the conversation or task at hand. Today was a real test of not loosing control and I nailed it. I took a breath before saying my piece and managed the majority of what I was saying without cussing. I mean, I didn't even cuss at him, just the spot we where in. Pretty successful in my eyes. Could have gone either way. Luck of the draw I guess?
How does any of this have anything to do with kung fu? Well, shucks a lot. From the hours of Sitting in stances, and practicing strikes and blocks. Eventually, every thing, ever so slightly, starts clicking and falling into their places. Slowly things just fall back into that familiar home. Attention to detail must still be applied to what I am doing. Attention to everything. This I.H.C. doesn't give only kung fu results. It is all encompassing, touching all aspects of our lifes. Simply for me, only obtainable through the constant practice of kung fu. For instance, im having a heck of a time pushing and pulling stances, and un-even stances. So, I started to pay attention to how im walking again. get those old habits back, of paying enough attention to the small details, that they become compulsory again. I have been told much improvement, now continue to improve. Fantastic. Simple hard work equates into little golden victories. which builds and builds into something real darn swell, gosh darn it.
Many years ago I stated I had a dream! I think my second or third blog. That dream still burns, but brighter. That desire was strong, but stronger today. That dream to weaponize myself through and unity of mind and body. I put the deposit down on sword arms!! I only reached so many "high peaks and plateaus" in my kung fu by solid blood sweat tears and yes busted up bones. Love it. But seriously the doing sit-ups and pushups until you puke a little or a bunch. Stop for a breather, and just keep pushing. Not just the body though. That's but a small portion of the process.
Our minds and bodies change and grow. sometimes the body changes and learns long before the mind. The mind knows there is a lesson tucked away in all the effort and discipline, besides the obvious efforts at hand. The mind races and darts from task to unfinished task. all the "Gotta Do's". Begrudgingly, the mind, it slowly calms down. Eventually, the mind no longer races and fights. Slowly, the mind just rests. After time the mind and body finally realise that's the lesson. To be and just be. After enough time spent, this will be just how it is. Calm and steady.
Sometimes, man, life just straight pops ya, and other times you get life right in the kisser like my turn bud! Whamo. Hahaha. Its rebounding from the lows that count, not simply the fall itself. The constant every day challenges that can hit the hardest, not my imaginary fella I'm shadow sparring with. Even still, we have had like fifty sparring sessions, and somehow I've lost thirty-nine in a row... Seriously though...This guys good...okay?
Anyhows, see you

hheeeyyyyyaaaa
Hey imagine that! It's sunday! sunday funday indeed. I was just looking at my numbers so far, and im happy with how far I've come. I mean some of you guys are crushing numbers outta the park. That's really cool to see. My numbers are climbing, I'm putting in the time with Da Mu Hsing. Starting to 'feel' stances again. The old Ahhh yeah, that's the ticket right there. Boom! its like finding gold or something like! Doesn't change the fact that there is still a lot of work to be done, just getting 'er done one stance at a time.
So yeah, and then there is the stick form. Taking a beating the corner. Honestly, I think im trying to hard with the weapon form. Like, seriously, I am trying to force my way through this concoction of congested stuff, like I don't even know what is going on it seams...hahaha...could be onto something there. So, I have made the call to stick to the schools stick form. It will just be for the better in the long run. I am really not disappointed about not being able to reproduce what stick form I had a long while ago. I was in a much different spot, and had already been pretty practiced with the stick. Its okay, I will see that form later, gotta get back to basics. Mark my words though, that old stick form is gonna get reborn.
That's been the theme so far, this year for me. Is the basics. Right?!? I remember the lessons I was taught about building our training up like a pyramid. I am glad I have my own apartment, just one-bedroom and no furniture! Ha. Man I have an air mattress, two lawn chairs, and four big tubberware tubs. Its great! Apartment in a box!! haha. Lots of room is what I'm getting at here. I'm not kicking tvs and stacking furniture so I can practice. Then the cleaning stuff start up with the you shouldn't do that. Fine! What a pain! oh dudes, just a pain training in hotel rooms, but. I did manage-ish. This is more ideal, I do suppose. I feel the hotelers out there. And, uh so yeah, there's that I guess. Haha.
WELL, that's about enough hot sauce from this fella right here I do suppose.
Thanks for your time!

Yup
Hey there! boy, was it ever nice being back in class. I will tell you that right now. Lets dive right in, come for a journey. In class Thursday night, Sifu, was showing us a technique, that was extremely involved. im always at my happiest when i'm in class learning new ways, new techniques. seemingly though, its all so very familiar. Not that I have learnt that technique in particular, but the footwork, the hip projection, the base of it all. sp much fun to work with, but I am in great need of this lesson. Right now, I feel that is one of my major shortcomings is my stances. Awwesome, something else to help keep things spiced up. I do take a fair amount of my time and sit in stances, move around my apartment in stances and slide stepping and such. I hope those are sound! Im sure they are because, I watch my feet and legs. Pay attention to the fine details. Try to anyhow.
Da Mu Hsing I feel os coming along very well. I have put up some pretty decent numbers against that big boy. Fights on hand form. Told you I was coming back for you! Again, though, its slowing down, breathing and concentrating on what is going on with things everywhere. So, again, I fall back to the basics and started getting into stances and practicing the simple blocks and strikes. It feels great. mmm mmm Im loving it. Concnetrate, man concentrate. There is a really good jam on the radio right now. Soooo, listen, I am just take five and groove......Standing Outside a broken phone booth with money in my hand, Primitive Radio Gods....Anyhow, back to reality. Back to the basics. I know how to do the majority of whats in my binder, its a matter of doing it again. Like, seriously, when I brought that stick to class and started to swing that fun lover around again, I'm just like a little kid again. letting all that out through kung fu and leaving with not much else for the drive home.
So, I guess what I am saying is it was really nice being back home for a few quick nights. Had some good quality time with the family. board games and wrestling and just simply being silly with my boys. Laughing at farts and fart noises. Ahhh, It was a tough out the door yesterday. Back to work, today was day numero uno. Its business time. Time to do what I do, and kick down some more doors and be like Oh hey there! Didn't see the doorknob. Well, I am Will Duncan, and I plan on being the main go to get 'er done guy on this claim. I've got a lot to learn, and an even larger amount of desire to learn, so, lets learn this business.
And I think I am going to leave that right there for you!
Thanks for your time

This is the Day
Oh Hi there. How you doing? Very good thanks. Well, here's another one of my ramblings.
I have been working hard on Da Mu Hsing lately. I feel I'm making progress. I have sent out a few videos to a few Sifus to have a hard look at. There is still a fair bit of work, but, not as much as there was last week! Centering and solidifying those stances.
I really enjoy Kung Fu. It truly brings me happiness. Doing the techniques and shadow boxing around my spot here, makes for a good time. There are times when I want to turn on the jets and just throw punches and kicks. you know, you get into a good training groove and you really want to push things a bit more. Yes, I do that sometimes, but I focus on the technique of it, and I'm forcing myself to throw methodical and structured punches. Sifu had pointed out my skeleton was unaligned, and so, I have been focusing on that part. Get the stance, then the action. keep stances clean and crisp. I am really enjoying the simple things in kung fu.
The consistency in my training is really starting to make a swooping comeback. I am proud of my progress lately. Its easy here in Grande Prairie, where I just have to worry about me. coming up on days off and going home, chilling with the family, could be another thing. I mean, I'm pretty beat tired too. This has been a long stretch. Really it just seems long because its the first real hitch of the year. They always get easier. The plan is, is this guy right here is going to nap. Probably with my dog on the couch, oh theres no probably, that's going to happen. He will be belly up, head on my face, slowly pushing me off the couch. And I actually, probably wont nap. To actually see my beaut of a family....in real life. Ha, like who is this guy! Stranger Danger!! I am thankful for the facetime and other magical stuff these devices do. It does make it easier when the kids can "see" you as opposed just hearing their voices. It, you know, it takes some of the edge away.
I plan on coming into class Thursday night. So, that will be nice. I am quite excited to be in class again. Da Hu Hsing'ing it up. Bust out the old stick! Haven't done too much with it yet, I left my stick at home, and like I say, This stick is mine! There are many like it, but this one is mine! Hahaha Good old Full Metal Jacket. Classic movie. just fantastic. So, I have some catch up to do, but, I am re-birthing my stick form, from way back when. I feel, this is going to be a lot of fun.
So, it appears I am going to ramble on, which is an amazing song, so Ill just pass it on to the next person.
Thanks for your time.
Have a great night.

Team Rat
Hi there. im Mr.Duncan and this is my weekly blog
Alrighty then, lets get started. I have been away from the kwoon for an obvious while, and my training went the eventual way-side. I have been working out of town and living outta a motel rooms. It was an odd place with odd people around. haha I fit right in, eh! I never really made a lot of time to train either, working twelve hr shifts, you know, only have so many minutes to do personal stuff. so, I had excuses to not practice, "I don't have time for that anymore","i have no room for that here" and other weak thoughts like that. I was getting sick of the excuses I gave myself to be lazy. sick of mediocracy. So I started to build myself up for the requirements, and asked if i could join. And oh boy, hey I am! Im not top drawer material yet, but, i will be. Give me time and man this is gonna be fun.
I may not have ohysically practiced for a while, but mentally, some of the lessons I have learnt here in srkf, have just stuck.I am happy i did I Ho Chuan before, because the time spent trudging away in a techniques and hand forms and weapon forms have stuck. More of the forms and techniques are lost.... for now. I have a plan coming together. I have my goals on the fridge and on my phone. I got emails ready and phone numbers if needed. Numbers and reps are getting more and more consistant. Im feeling more ad more confident in Da Mu Hsing. I dont know if i should use a stick as a weapon form this year simply because of the low roof. I miss the stick though. I really enjoy the stick. This stick is mine. There are many like it, but this one is mine!
Anyhow, I have a fairly good base for now. I have a lot a lot a lot of work ahead of me. I really want to be good again, not as good as i used to be, but, better!! Im going to work really hard to stay here online and try to contribute as much as I can. I am going to make a point of getting into the kwoon once a turn-a-round.
There are a ton of basics this guy right here, has absolutely gotta get back to, and this year is the year. I am excited to work with the team in one fashion or another. I do hope that when time, my forms will be up to par for the team, when i hopefully get some time at home. Spring break up cant come fast enough. These longer shifts, you get lots of time off. Lots as in do two separate loads of laundry and pin her back to work. But, ive yet to get back home, i think only 10 more days now. Yowie wowie thats exciting!! I can see my dog. That bugger is spot on, I miss my dog. More than the kids. Kidding. probably...maybe. anyways the dog and the kids are awesome. okay!!
Well, There ya go. I have now run out of words to say for now. Right?!? Took long enough....
I will talk at you soon.

Let’s Go!
Hey ya how ya doing! It’s been a good week. Got in some great training at the kwoon for open training. Worked the snot outta Da Mu Hsing. That felt great. And honestly, it’s the only form I remember without opening my book. Haha. Ahh boy, I got work!!
Speaking of which, I’ve spent a fair bit of time in my binder lately and, oh boy, I found the written version of my stick form from 2015!! Shit yeah! Thought I lost it. But there it is, in all it’s glory, just waiting to become re-vitalized. Okay old friend, you’re getting re-born. But I’ve also had this thought, that, I should stick to the schools forms, until, I have those back. A dilemma, by definition, indeed. Sticking to the plan so far has made me feel this good about myself this short time back. So, why mess with what works? Stick to the plan, stick to the basics. I know for a fact, this will work out with me becoming a winner again.
The tournament is coming up fast and furious, and I’m so excited. I was telling the guys at work about the tournament coming up. There’s a few guys who are as excited as I, and they say, they would love to come watch and see a tournament first hand. We are working night shift that week, so, I’m going to be all groggy and stuff, but, this tournament is very important to me. This is my return to my passion. I don’t care if I win, I want to of course. But, it’s more about putting myself out there. Getting back out of my comfort zone and tearing down my walls again. I put up those walls again! You bet I did, but, today, I’m driving flaming red fire trucking tank through that wall, laughing uncontrollably like a mad man, pulling out my hair and jumping around the tank like a spider monkey on speed! You want to see hardcore Kung fu! You want to see hard fast determination? Okay, no problem, just make sure you stay clear of this path of destruction! Because...I....am....not....stopping!!
Honestly, it’s not about winning or loosing. It’s about learning. I will learn something at the tournament, that’s guaranteed, if I pay attention to my surroundings. More importantly, breathing! That’s the key for me.
Man alive, do I love Kung fu!! My hands missed the purposeful punches. My feet miss the flow of chi and energy. My mind misses the frustrations of training. The I know I knew this!! My body forgot the soreness and aches and pains. Most importantly, my soul had forgotten about my purpose. But, today, today, I continue to refuel my passions and loves. Today, I continue to burn the kindling of the flames that power my dragon. We all have a lovely animal inside of our souls. I’ve had the dragon come to me in dreams and meditative sittings. I do believe with all my being, this dragon that’s inside of my heart and soul wants out! And I think he’s kinda pissed! He wants out, to see the sun, to feel the breeze, to taste victory and eat goals and poop gold accomplishments. He’s mad I left him dormant for so long. He’s frustrated with me for walking away from this beautiful energy of which I had; but, he’s also sympathetic and caring. He understands just how dark it can get in a place like we were. Why, I left him tied in chains to the underbelly of my soul. Angry and bitter about life, I expressed it improperly.... I apologize, my dear friend, I was lost and confused, but today I am strong. I am here to sacrifice my will of mind and body, so you can continue to show me a path to truthfulness and compassion.
So, with that being said, I’m back into the weights, the kicks and the repetitions. Quality is key today. Quality! Done and done!

Honestly, it’s not about winning or loosing. It’s about learning. I will learn something at the tournament, that’s guaranteed, if I pay attention to my surroundings. More importantly, breathing! That’s the key for me.
Man alive, do I love Kung fu!! My hands missed the purposeful punches. My feet miss the flow of chi and energy. My mind misses the frustrations of training. The I know I knew this!! My body forgot the soreness and aches and pains. Most importantly, my soul had forgotten about my purpose. But, today, today, I continue to refuel my passions and loves. Today, I continue to burn the kindling of the flames that power my dragon. We all have a lovely animal inside of our souls. I’ve had the dragon come to me in dreams and meditative sittings. I do believe with all my being, this dragon that’s inside of my heart and soul wants out! And I think he’s kinda pissed! He wants out, to see the sun, to feel the breeze, to taste victory and eat goals and poop gold accomplishments. He’s mad I left him dormant for so long. He’s frustrated with me for walking away from this beautiful energy of which I had; but, he’s also sympathetic and caring. He understands just how dark it can get in a place like we were. Why, I left him tied in chains to the underbelly of my soul. Angry and bitter about life, I expressed it improperly.... I apologize, my dear friend, I was lost and confused, but today I am strong. I am here to sacrifice my will of mind and body, so you can continue to show me a path to truthfulness and compassion.
So, with that being said, I’m back into the weights, the kicks and the repetitions. Quality is key today. Quality! Done and done!
