That experience gave me the "bug" to push for more physical trianing, because of that I tried joining the military, not for me, I tried Tae Kwon Do, nope not for me, then I just gave up and started to live life but never really losing the desire to train just buried it under life. Then I moved to Tyler in 2005 (still didnt start Kung fu until 2008), because a friend showed me what he had accomplished losing over 100 pounds and telling me what he had to do for his training. My friend was the spark that started the fire for me to start training again. At frist it was to lose weight which did happen the second was to succeed and not let myself down, which did happen, and now my desire is to become a "master" to teach and carry on the tradition, which may or may not succeed but I know that I have support and a drive not like any other than I have had in my life before and part of that came from Sifu Brandon Jones and Ja Gow's Adam and Daniel. Now that I have two kung fu brothers that I have trained, grown, with and came up with I know through competition that I will increase my drive to better my Mantis or "The Bug."

I too was told by my Dr. that I needed to find a different "hobby".I looked at him like he was CRAZY & said" martial arts is NOT a "hobby" For me , its a way of life so I guess i will just have to get through this. Then my dad passed away so raising my teens & my 2 lil sisters was keeping me from training as much as I wanted to & when they moved out,one of my lil sisters died "almost 2 yrs ago today". I learned that everyone has set backs / obsticles in life to overcome or get through & some ppl who know nothing about u will judge u"why havent you been to class??" THIS IS NONE OF "THEIR" BUSINESS!!! They dont know u like they think they do so Just do YOU ;-) In the 20 yrs Ive been in mixed martial arts arts, I CANT even begin to think of how many times ive been hurt & that sets u bk but I never let it STOP me from doing what I LOVE!!!! Bottom line, THE SET BACKS,OBSTICLES & sometimes negativity from ppl only adds "FUEL to my KUNG FU FIRE" So as ur KF sista, I will always encourage u. We cant change things sometimes but we CAN get through it EVERYTIME"!!!!!!

It is very inspiring! For me personally, because I can understand every word you've said. Living in a foreign country for 8 years now, I still remember all the fear, confusion and pain. But just like you said: you jump in it anyway, and rewards are so worth it! You overgrow yourself! I personally can't "blame" kung fu for that, but only my parents who gave me the strong will ( God! I love them so much!). Since I've only been doing KF for about 3 years and not being as devoted to it as I should (Sorry, Sifu). But I often catch myself thinking...if my life brings me something really unbearable to carry on by myself, I will get through it absolutely confident. Because I already know what to do: train hard and commit to KF. And that is all it takes to overcome any difficulties or pain in your life. Thank you, Jennifer! It is very inspiring!
