The start of this summer marks 20 years since our Academy’s founder, Sigung Bob Schneider, tragically passed away. Since his passing, the Academy has instructed over 30,000 classes, conducted over 100 gradings and celebrated 46 new Black Sashes!
I’ve spent parts of this winter skiing and biking through forests on top of the regular regime of weightlifting and teaching/training Kung Fu. All these strength and cardio-based pursuits start to take their toll; I find it essential to have a system of physical maintenance: Enter yoga.
As we look ahead to the new year, moving from the Year of the Snake to the Horse, I feel proud of what we have accomplished together.
Reflecting on a summer well spent, our family was thankful for the physical abilities training Kung Fu gave us, allowing us to really take on some fun and active recreation.
Although the feeling is perennial, this Spring was truly one of the busiest and most positive!
The adversity of winter is also an invitation to discover who you are and what you can rise from and, dare I say, thrive in!
