On tuesday I finished learning the non-form side of the two man version of Hua Chuan 2. This means that other then Dragon-Phoenix I know every shaolin form in our system. Now knowing a form and “knowing” a form are obviously two different things. So I still will need a little bit of work of everything, but I am confident that by the time Alaan comes back to the school, I will be ready to learn Dragon-Phoenix with him. I am not sure I will be able to help him with it, as he has asked me to, but I will be very willing to learn it along side of him. On a personal note, I am actually looking forward to training with him(Alaan) again, as it has been a long time since we trained together.

Since the death of Sensei Rosenthal, I have been thinking a lot about how short and precious life really is. This though process has me thinking about my own mortality, and what will be left behind when I die. Granted I am still a young man at this point, but I know that at some point I will not be. It is because of this that I have decided to make a list of all the things I want to do in my lifetime. Right now it is rather short, only about two dozen or so things, but it will grow as I think of more things I want to do. I will update the list whenever I accomplish anything listed, or figure out something else I need to do. The list encompasses all facets of my life, from my martial arts training, to my personal life.
