I'm often asked how I spend my time living in Asia; the truth is, I'm in a constant cycle of work and practice. When I'm not working, I'm training, and when I'm not training, I'm working. The repeated process of creating new content for my website and training the exercises prescribed to me by my teacher day in, day out can occasionally feel monotonous. However, the positive feedback from my members and the progress I'm making in my practice makes all the hard work worthwhile. "Do what is right, not what is easy."

This afternoon I decided to take a break from working and visit the enchanting Buddhist temple, Wat Umong Mahathera Chan in the “old town” of Chiang Mai. As there are currently zero tourists in Chiang Mai, I had the entire temple grounds to myself; It felt quite surreal.

An enjoyable stroll around the lake this afternoon, out in the open air surrounded by nature. After spending the past couple of months working and training nonstop, it feels good to wind down and take a rest. (at Chiang Mai, Thailand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR_pJpEJUn-/?utm_medium=tumblr

It feels great to be back in Chiang Mai training Taiji with my teacher and my kungfu brothers once again. The current focus of our training is... too much to list in this post 😁 (at Chiang Mai, Thailand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQh0IIRJhiG/?utm_medium=tumblr

During one of my visits to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Yap Boh Heong, and Ben Shue shared some important details with me regarding the body's energy pathways and their relationship with the placement of the hands in the kung fu forms. For example, depending on where the rear hand is placed and in many cases where it is touching, the back hand can either strengthen or weaken one's entire structure. There is ancient knowledge hidden inside the traditional Chinese martial arts forms; you just need to find a teacher who has attained the knowledge and is willing to show you.
