Last week, Boulder Kung Fu celebrated its 15-year

Last week, Boulder Kung Fu celebrated its 15-year anniversary. By some measures, a long time. About double the average length of a marriage in the US 🙂 But, in the big picture, just a short time in comparison to the long history and tradition of our style and lineage.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I'm grateful to have been able to share traditional Chinese martial and healing arts with everyone who has ever walked through the studio doors. As well as to all the teachers that have come before me. It's not an easy path - until it becomes a pathless path.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We live in an era where instant gratification is measured in seconds, let alone days, weeks, months. Put hard work into a project or goal - and results are relatively immediate. It's much easier to stay motivated and inspired when results can more easily be seen.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But learning kung fu and tai chi is different. It truly requires developing a relationship with our practices - and thus ourselves. Results are often more subtle - and the learning life-long.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Thank you to all that have had the curiosity and courage to explore this path less taken.

Heartfelt gratitude to my Sifu, Yamel Torres, for coming out from Chicago to visit and share with my students. I also want to thank his students (Faarooq, Jordan and Idrees) for making the trip out as well. This year's Colorado Retreat focused on the Black Tiger Crossing 2-person Set and 4th Summary Boxing (四路摘要拳). Great job to all of my students this weekend. Keep up the hard work.
