The Ten Tigers meeting today was so productive and satisfying -- a busy two+ hour session. Now I'm home tonight gleefully practicing the butterfly knives versus spear set that we just learned.
And so it occurred to me ...
Sifu Steven just taught us a set that was new to him, and had to put in many hours of extra training to learn both sides thoroughly enough to teach it all in one session. It didn't dawn on me until tonight how much effort he put into just this one meeting to offer us something special that was not on the standard list. I heard him say that he hadn't performed the set with a partner before, but it took hours for that clue to fall into place.
Earlier this year, Dean posted a comment that pointed out how much effort Steven puts into making Ten Tigers work -- effort that often goes unacknowledged. Today was another example of the planning and training that makes this program -- and our school -- so fine.
Thank you, Sifu, once again.
