Yes it has been a while since I have communicated in anyway and for that I apologize to all on the team. I hadn't really come across anything spectacular and really didn't have much to say. I'm not going to go into any excuses of work and family commitments because thats what everybody deals with everyday. I find it awkward to just put something down for the sake of blogging, and it not have any real thought or experience. I'm also new to blogging so I find that to be challenging at times as well.
As for the month of june, it was a good month for some catch up. The numbers don't total as plentiful as I would have liked but the effort was there and that was the fun part. It was a challenging month though with work and an aggressive schedule and a really bad sprain in my right foot that occurred in may. It made lots of things challenging like training, bootcamp, etc. but the show must go on. One thing about injuries is you learn to adapt and carry on with your day and your training, moving your body different ways and changing the procedures you are used to using without thought everyday. I think of it as reserved thoughts for survival.
The best part of June though is how it ended. When I received the e-mail to perform in the Canada Day demo I was vapour locked, a little nervous and beaming with overwhelming excitement. I felt it a honour to go out and represent our school and do a demo with some of our black belts and fellow teamates from the I Ho Chuan team. Everyone from the lion dancers to all those who displayed full blown deadly art did awesome. It was just something I will never forget. And thanks to all the black belts I hounded for the pre show "wanting to puke all over the place" advice on how not too.

I am impressed by your approach to demos. Many people approach it as if they are doing the school a favour to participate in a demo. I have been participating in demos now for a long time and have also looked at it as an honour to represent the school and all its students. Keep up the hard work you defiantly earned your spot in that demo and earned the privilege to represent us all in the demo.good work!
