The 10,000 Hour Challenge | kungfuchick
https://kungfuchick.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/the-10000-hour-challenge
Fighting life's good fight. The 10,000 Hour Challenge. Been busy lately… it’s feast or famine with work deadlines, and I have three pet portrait commissions lined up as well! And so my martial arts blog languishes. In the meantime, here’s a short piece I did back in January for my kungfu school’s newsletter, as part of a kickoff for our “ 100 Days of Bagua Challenge. The 10,000 Hour Challenge. Recently I had a conversation with a friend that went like this:. Friend: Why do you do martial arts? I love how...

https://kungfuchick.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/and-then-my-life-went-fwoom-ker-doof-wheee
Fighting life's good fight. And then my life went fwOOm ker-doof Wheee! I haven’t been doing much kungfu as usual since the spring-ish, which is why I haven’t been blogging about kungfu lately. Those are all just excuses, really. Life has busy seasons, but you always make time for what’s most important. If it was truly important to me to train hard, I would’ve made time. Is that a bad thing that I didn’t make time for it? But with kungfu the options are literally endless! I still have bouts of guilt for ...

You can take the girl out of the kungfu, but you can’t take the kungfu out of the girl | kungfuchick
https://kungfuchick.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/you-can-take-the-girl-out-of-the-kungfu-but-you-cant-take-the-kungfu-out-of-the-girl
Fighting life's good fight. You can take the girl out of the kungfu, but you can’t take the kungfu out of the girl. This isn’t kungfu related, but if interested, I just wrote a Kindle recipe e-book: Easy Hiking Recipes: Simple Meal Ideas for Day Hikes and Other Outdoor Adventures. 🙂 You can also check out my vaguely recipe-related blog at www.easyhikingrecipes.com. I hope you’re fighting the good fight too. Here’s to living life’s great adventures! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Climber Chick | kungfuchick
https://kungfuchick.wordpress.com/2012/11/20/climber-chick
Fighting life's good fight. Oh my goodness, it’s so much fun! Pure bliss. And it wouldn’t feel nearly as great if your arms and legs weren’t screaming at you the whole way up. It feels good because it was a fun, yet difficult challenge. It wouldn’t be fun if it wasn’t hard. No, I’m kidding, there are tons of differences of course. And I miss kungfu like crazy! The question I keep asking is why do I bother with kungfu or climbing? 8221; and pointed to a trail that led up the back side of the wall. We ...

Leggo my Ego! | kungfuchick
https://kungfuchick.wordpress.com/2012/05/20/leggo-my-ego
Fighting life's good fight. Martial arts is not a solitary sport. You can practice by yourself, but you really won’t learn much unless you practice with others. You can watch YouTube videos of kungfu masters for hours on end, but it doesn’t replace training with a real live kungfu teacher. The skill of working with others is probably just as important as mastering the martial arts itself. Says, “Pride is the not the opposite of shame, but its source” (yes, I’m a nerd :) . I know my own value, and so do m...

Martial artists = nonconformists? | kungfuchick
https://kungfuchick.wordpress.com/2012/02/06/martial-artists-nonconformists
Fighting life's good fight. Martial artists = nonconformists? In Martial Arts musings. I’m reading a book by Seth Godin called. It’s technically about how to become indispensible in your work, but it’s actually about becoming an artist and a noncomformist in everything you do. It’s a good book, highly recommended! Bagua for a more integrated brain! Feb 06, 2012. Well in that case I should be the best martial artist ever! And you likely went to the TOP of Tiger mountain, we only went partway up ;). You ca...

Be cool, like Fonzie | kungfuchick
https://kungfuchick.wordpress.com/2012/08/10/be-cool-like-fonzie
Fighting life's good fight. Be cool, like Fonzie. More and more I’m realizing how athletic activities are all about being able to control your mind. Of course you need a strong body, but the skill to use your body, the courage stay in the game, and the tenacity to persevere all start with the mind. And you gotta stay cool, like Fonzie, in the midst of stress and chaos. Some kungfu chick I am. So I guess I have a ways to go in cultivating mental serenity during stressful events. You never know unt...Fill ...
