I have noticed that Kung Fu has helped my jogging and my jogging has helped my Kung Fu over the past few months. I started jogging last spring/summer, then took the winter off like most lazy people, and now I’ve started jogging again. I plan on continuing jogging no matter the weather since now I… Read more

Even though I received my red sash test sheet in February, I didn’t really start training until recently due to finishing up school (finally) and having a 2nd job for a few weeks. I am now in between 2nd jobs (starting at the end of May) so I have decided to train for my red… Read more

Yesterday I ran the Shamrock Shuffle for the first time ever. I’ve never ran 5 miles before, and I did a great job! According to my Nike GPS watch, I ran 5.3 miles in 54 minutes, which was about 10 minutes per miles. Definitely the best I’ve ever done. I had a great time with… Read more

I would like to share my new tutoring advertisement on here since I am trying to get the word out regarding my tutoring services. I am trying to gain teaching/tutoring experience so that I can become a full-time teacher in the field of Biology. I am certified to teach ACT Math and English as well… Read more

The red test is known for testing one’s endurance, it requires you to perform almost everything you know thus far, including 30 of each kick, all push-ups, 2 minutes horse stance with bowls, and almost all the forms you know. The test is one of the… Read more

A few weeks ago I ran the Ditka Dash 5K at Soldier field with some of my friends. The weather wasn’t too bad (in the 40s) but I have decided that I will wait until next spring/summer to run any more races, too cold for me! Had lots of fun though! 🙂 Read more

Last night a bunch of my co-workers and I participated in the Electric Run. It was so much fun, I completed the 5K in 35 minutes, which wasn’t my best but it wasn’t horrible either. So far, the Terrapin 5K has been my best time for a 5K. There was a dance party after the… Read more

Another successful 5K completed! And my time is better than the previous race (glow in the dark run June 1st). My times was 31 minutes, 48 seconds for the entire 3.1 miles. Pace was 10 minutes 16 seconds a mile. This isn’t too shabby for someone like me who rarely runs. Kung Fu has helped… Read more

I passed my third Kung Fu test! Of course, I feel like I could have done it better, but I am proud of myself for the following:My 3 minute (plus) horse stance was solid. I am pretty sure Sifu added another 15-20 seconds onto the bowls portion, but I was good. I could have gone… Read more

Over the past few weeks I have been trying to work on my pull ups and push ups. Currently, I cannot do a single pull up from the starting point of dangling. I am doing pull-up negatives, where I start with my chin above the bar and then slowly lower myself down. I am also… Read more
