Wednesday
The Sun is out! It is amazing! The wind is getting stronger but the SUN is still out. Each day I wake up to sunlight is a good day. I can wait for the snow. Snow comes with cold and training in the cold now is not fun therefore training in snow will be extremely hard. Two more students joined the academy today. Two guys from France. hope they dont mind the cold.
Learned the first part of the Sparring form in Wing Chun. I picked it up very fast. Master Gou taught me 5 moves. There are 27 moves in total. I will try to learn them all before the next grading.
Lunch was good. I learned a new trick for lunch. Since afternoon training is always in front of the dining hall and we end class around 15 minutes to lunch, instead of going to my room, I might as well wait and be the first in line. I have been waiting all week but today I improved my trick. Lately Kjitel cuts infront of me when we get in because I stand on the door that opens. There are two doors, only one opens. So Kjitel would wait at the door that doesn't open so when I get pushed back from the door that opens he sneaks in! So now I stole his spot and since I wait there I am first to get food now.
Afternoon run was good. Duriung the run I ran the whole thing a bit faster. I can feel my legs becoming stronger so I can run faster. Today before we ran, I found out it was Kjitel's BDAY! We all sang to him before we ran.
POWER TRAINING was not too bad today. We did regular drills only half way across the room. The other class was training inside so we couldn't do drills all across the hall...so sad. Not! But we didn't do the 'leap frogs' which I was hoping for because those were actually fun. After planks we had to do finger push ups. Not on our fingers but on the last knucle on our fingers, the one closet to the finger nail. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT. I had to do the push ups on the mat because the floor hurt too much. If we did it on the mat we had to do 30, on the floor only 10. After those we had to do 30 "finger to knuckle" push ups. I can do those easy.
After dinner I went upstairs, took a shower, chatted online, and then right when i was in bed about to sleep i hear a knock on the door. It was Kjitel. He came up to ask if i wanted to go next door with him, his roommate, danny, and a couple other guys to celebrate his birthday. I couldnt say no! So i got dressed and headed over. After a couple chicken wings and fried rice we headed back.
It was a good night. Kjitel turned 27 today.
Goodnight
