Hello ZhengZhou (你好郑州)

I am happy to say that I will definitely be returning to the Xiao Long Kung Fu school again this summer for the months of July and August! Since I was last there, the Kung Fu school has moved from its old place in ZhengZhou to its head branch in DengFeng. I don't know much of what to expect at the new location but I've been speaking with some of the guys there and they have been telling me great things so far and how not much has changed aside from the accommodations (which are of higher standard now.... unfortunately? haha). My roommate from last year is back at the school already and will be there for the duration that I am staying, as well. I can't wait. Same communication applies as last time: I will probably be on the internet once a week maximum and my email is the best way to contact me.

This is going to be so much fun again!!! Right after I conclude my training at the Xiao Long Kung Fu school I will be completing a school semester on exchange in Shanghai. So that means 6 more whole months in China! I have already been in contact with the Shanghai and Nanjing traceurs and am planning on training with them as much as possible for the duration of my stay.

I leave early July. The good thing is that this time around I know a lot more of what to expect, so I am more excited than nervous this year. The only really important thing left to do is set a base for self-sustenance of the Niagara Region community, as at this point in time a lot of it is revolved around my organizing with only few stepping up to lead.

Here's a recent clip of my butterfly kick progress:
