Pandamonium was awesome! Lots of participation, lots of numbers for
those of us in I Ho Chuan, and lots of fun.
I got there at 5 am and had an opportunity to practice my nunchuk form
many many times with Mr. Krebs, my tai chi broadsword with Sifu Langner and
many reps of Kempo 1,2 &3, spear and stick 1, 2, & 3. Sihing Robinson kept us motivated by yelling
car everytime someone drove past or parked and then pulling off some fancy flying
and spinning kicks on the heavy bags.
That man has more juice than the energerizer bunny, he just keeps going
and going!
My hubby arrived just before 8 AM and we set up the tent and
the tables outside for the barbeque which was up and running on time for the
pancake breakfast at 9 AM. Sifu
Masterson and her volunteers had the whole outdoor thing running beautifully
and even the weather cooperated.
By Tai Chi class at 10 AM my knees were aching badly and I
was loosing steam but the class was incredible ... definitely more chaotic than
usual so it made it hard to focus ... but hey that’s good practice as
well. A number of us who know the whole
tai chi long form ran through the whole thing several times and the energy in
the room was smokin!
It was the most fun I have had in a long time. I prefer to train with other people ... alone
it seems to me that something is missing.
Since my girls have been gone to China (we used to train together)
practicing my kung fu became alot more solitary and somewhat two dimensional as
a result. So for me this event was a
great experience . I will see you all
there next year!
