Classes open up again on the first week of the year! Coming back to classes, we are helping students acclimated to the new year with wish cards! In these cards students wrote their wishes for the year in Kungfu class. These aren’t just materialistic wishes, but wishes that can be achieved by ones own skill and effort. The wishes could be in relation to Kungfu or in general life. By doing this, we’re encouraging our students to take control of their own lives more.
Speaking of taking control, it is time to seize control over your own lives and take the forefront as this year is the year of the horse. The horse is a strong, majestic and fast animal that’s often associated with racing. This year, we are teaching everyone the proverb, “Yi Ma Dang Xian” which translates literally to ‘One Horse First.’ It means first horse takes the lead. This proverb encourages us not to take a backseat to everything, but to take the initiative to take the lead. Be it in a race, in leadership, or in a competitive setting, taking the forefront takes a lot of courage. But if you take that first step, it will pay off in the long run! Happy New Years!
