Junhong's Kung Fu Club

From your coach,
We care about you and need you to be your best, healthiest self. We need you to push when it is time to push and rest when it is time to rest. We don’t need you to prove anything. We already believe in you.
Hey, if we don’t see you in class because you are injured; that’s ok. Let’s grab coffee or chat some time, we aren’t mad you’re taking care of yourself.
If we were hard on you in the past it was just because we saw something in you, you didn’t see. It’s our job never let you disappoint yourself.
We don’t coach for money or glory, we do it because we want to share what brings us light when things are dark.
Freakin hate you; you cool, awesome, interesting A-hole.
You deserve rest.

We all have that one sparring partner

In all seriousness, we all struggle. I joke too much but embracing and overcoming the struggle is a core feature of martial arts. It is a sacred ritual that I hope has never become dogmatic or destructive in your life.
I hope you find the time in your day to feel proud you of how far you’ve come and how long you have endured. Every step is worth acknowledgment and celebration.
Don’t forget you’re awesome, I love you and F the haters.
