Hello team. Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend the upcoming meeting. I am already committed to the Leduc to Camrose MS bike tour the entire weekend. I wish I could be in both places at once. I like to make a point of being at every meeting and every class. Last weekend, Sifu Brinker stepped in and gave an intervention for the team. He is concerned with our recent lack of attendance to the I Ho Chuan classes as well as the lack of encouragement from teammates to attend. I share his concern. We started off incredibly strong! So strong that it was challenging to find room to practice my form on the mats, it was awesome!
I do understand that life gets busy and some circumstances are unavoidable. This week was pretty jam packed for me and I felt my motivation waning, my numbers show that clearly. I recognized this was happening and I am correcting it promptly. If I can do something to help you make it to the kwoon you let me know, I will do what I can. The more that show up to practice the better. We can't keep making excuses, we all joined this team for a reason. We are learning mastery! It is a never ending process, to push beyond what we think we can do and then when we think we've had enough, push a little bit more. We need to work as a team to create the extraordinary out of the ordinary. It's not easy, if it was everyone would be doing it.
The unofficial classes are great tools towards our success in the lion dances and dragon dances. I for one would like to get more practice with the dragon and I'm sure I'm not alone. At the beginning of the year, Sifu Brinker was hoping we could do a double dragon dance. However, by the time Farmer's Day came along we didn't even have enough for a single dragon! This is something we need to change.
This is why I am challenging the team, let's help each other out and call for help when we need it. Let's work together to get as many of us out to the kwoon as possible! Let's setup a dragon dance for Canada Day! Let's prove that we are the best team yet!
See you on the mats everyone!
