Introducing myself. Connie

My name is Connie. I learned kung fu as a teenager in NY Chinatown with Sifu Yeung Kai. I learner Praying Mantis and Hung Gar from him. His main style was Hung Fut Pai. I loved it but unfortunately my brothers stopped going so my mother wouldn't allow me to travel by myself all the way to Chinatown from Queens. I was very sad. I loved my Sifu and the school. When I was an adult I went back again. I loved kung fu for the beauty of it and the spiritual and cultural that I learner. I wasn't really that interested in fighting honestly. I loved the forms. I know that probably sounds crazy. One time I sparred with one of the guys and he kicked me in the face by accident. I went flying across the room and saw stars. I was ok but not that interested in sparring anymore. Anyway, since then I have. Always practiced my forms, kicks, punches, stretching. I also love to run. I credit my love of kung fu for keeping me healthy all these year. (Now 52). I am in good shape but not as good as Sigung! He is amazing! I find him inspirational. I run also but not marathon's. I just run 3 or4 miles a day. Glad to be on the blog. Connie
