			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week has been a very busy one for me.  I started to take Judo, Finished the umbrella form, started working on Ja Sil, and the Pa Kua Continues form.  On a non martial arts note, I am currently changing my web hosting company, so there may be some quirks during the change.<br />
<span id="more-45"></span><br />
Firstly, I started to take judo classes.  I took about a semesters worth of judo at college, and it was something I really enjoyed.  I decided to look back into it, when I drove past a judo school in the town that I live in.  I think that judo will help me in my kung fu tremendously.  At first this may not make much sense, but its true.  I feel that I need to work on a few key areas to help me get to the next level in kung fu, relaxation, sensitivity, chin na, and the ability to remain in close to an opponent.  All of which Judo will force on me.  Furthermore, throwing / grappling is not something we really focus on in my kung fu school.  So I feel that this will also help round out my overall martial arts training.  </p>
<p>Secondly,  I now know the entirety of the umbrella form.  With this form down, all that remains in out shaolin system is the Hua chuan 2 two man fighting set, and dragon pheonix (double sword form).  I am really exited about this.  I know it is still a long ways off, but I can actually see the end it site.  My black sash is within grasping distance.  I would not be surprised if by this time next year I was a black sash in shaolin.</p>
<p>Thirdly,  I started to learn Ja Sil,  the last Hsing Yi form needed for me to know our entire Hsing Yi system.  Now I am a long way away from truly understanding it.  The internal aspects of it still elude me most of the time.  But I am getting closer.</p>
<p>Fourthly,  I am starting to learn the continues form in Pa Kua.  One I learn this I will also know the entire Pa Kua system.  Although my knowledge of Pa Kua is much less then that of Hsing Yi.  I still have a hard time remembering all the palm changes and poll movements.  I have learned them all, but I do not necessarily remember them all.  This one will taker much longer to get.</p>
<p>And Lastly, I am changing hosting companies because my old one(routhost) is terrible.  There is no words in any language human or otherwise to describe the depth of there incompetence, and lack of caring about there customers.  Furthermore, they are currently attempting to hold my domain name hostage, something I am fighting tooth an nail to fix. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am taking a new direction with this site.  I am planning on chronicling my progression through learning Kung Fu.  I am planning on writing at least once a week covering what I am learning both inside and outside the kwoon.  So other then the occasional site  news like this. The site will be focusing only on Kung Fu, and in particular what I am learning.</p>
