Yesterday was the official start of our traditional kung fu program. We started off with a meeting to discuss the details and last night we had a big celebration dinner with the whole school. Shifu also gave us 3 days off! It was a really awesome surprise. Sometimes he can be really generous, when he's not kicking your ass. haha.

So Mel and I are relaxing and resting our already sore bodies until then. I'm enjoying it a lot but I'm also really looking forward to getting started.

Our daily schedule will be as follows:
5am-wake up
5:10- run
5:40-stretch
6-qigong and tai chi
7:30-breakfast
8:30-morning training
12-lunch
Break (nap time)
3:30-meditation
6-dinner
7-9-evening training
10:30-lights out

Every saturday at 5pm we are also having a taoist philosophy, kung fu theory, etc class. It sounds like it'll be really interesting. Shifu said that if we want one he would also organize a chinese language class for us once a week or so which would probably be wednesday afternoon after our performance day. I guess we'll also be taking about 3 days per month for just meditation and cleansing practices with certain qigong exercises and herbs. I can't wait to blog about that!
