Pain with a Smile

This weekend was the first of six boot camp seminar classes. I am very excited for this particular seminar simply because it used to be part of my regular saturday routine. I didn't realize just how much I missed it until my first lap around the kwoon to warm up. Sifu Masterson has a unique approach, combining fitness with kung fu concepts to give you a great workout while keeping you mentally engaged in your kung fu, at least that is what I get from it.

It is a class meant to recognize and push your physical limits. Each person has their own limit it is really fun to see how far you can improve each session. You are ultimately in control of how difficult the class is, the harder you try the more difficult it is. However, if there is no pain felt you are most likely not improving yourself. Don't get me wrong, this is not injury pain, this is sweat generated, muscle building pain, the kind you are happy to smile about.

Take care everyone.
