Happy National Sons Day! πŸ’™πŸ‘Š

Actually, since I missed posting here, happy National Daughters Day too! β€οΈπŸ‘§

In Chinese, there’s a saying:

β€œδΈ€ζ—₯δΈΊεΈˆοΌŒη»ˆθΊ«δΈΊηˆΆγ€‚β€

β€œA teacher for a day is a father for life.”

It speaks to the bond between teacher and student. Even if we only train together for a short time, the shared impact can be mutual and everlasting. It also reflects the responsibility of a teacher to care for and guide their students with the same sense of responsibility they would have toward their own children. ❀️

So I just want to say to you:

Work hard. Be kind.

I’m proud of you. ❀️πŸ₯‹

πŸŒ… I woke up early yesterday to train and prepare for a very full day.

From 9 AM–12 PM, I taught Tai Chi, Kyokushin Karate, and Kungfu at Breaking Wave. πŸ₯‹ Then it was off to the Harvest Fest at The Crossings of Colonie. πŸŽƒπŸ‚

All morning, I debated whether we should even perform. 🌧️ Could we perform safely in the rain? Would anyone be there to watch? Should we call it off?

In the end, our incredible team showed up and performed anyway. πŸ’ͺπŸ”₯

πŸ₯‹ Wushu Kungfu in the rain, with group sets of Southern Fist, Longfist, double sword, staff, chain whips, and more.

Then Kyokushin, with fighting, kias, and body conditioning. πŸ’₯

Then the gentle music and poetry in motion of Tai Chi, including swords and double fans. β˜―οΈπŸ—‘οΈ

I’m always proud to have Breaking Wave be part of our local community, but yesterday I was especially humbled by our team’s determination and fortitude.

They showed up.
They adapted.
They performed.
They endured.

And honestly, that says everything about this team. ❀️

After Harvest Fest, a smaller group headed to the Chinese Community Center for another performance. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³πŸ₯‹

Meanwhile, Davey was competing with our team from FSK at the Oyama Karate tournament. πŸ₯‹πŸ†

He took πŸ₯ˆ 2nd in Kata and πŸ₯‡ 1st in Kumite, going 2–0 in fighting.

He was originally told there was nobody else in his division, so he asked to move up an age group and compete against black belts. πŸ’ͺπŸ”₯

Hard work. Courage. A willingness to challenge yourself.

A samurai mentality. βš”οΈ

Looking back on yesterday, I’m just soaking it all in. πŸ™

Our students showed determination by showing up for class.
Our performance teams showed determination by performing in the rain.
Our competitors showed determination by stepping into the ring.

Different challenges. Same mentality.

Show up. Do the work. Adapt. Keep going. πŸ’ͺπŸ”₯

I’m incredibly proud of everyone who represented Breaking Wave Martial Arts yesterday. πŸ₯‹β€οΈ
