Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon – A sword by itself rules nothing. It only comes alive in skilled hands.

Ready

Li Mu Bai: No growth without assistance. No action without reaction. No desire without restraint. Now give yourself up and find yourself again.

Wushu

2009 US Wushu Team Trials is tomorrow. Dennis, Will, and Sarah stayed over at my house last night. This morning I woke up at 9am and then walked through my forms once each with Zou lao shi at Omei Cupertino.

Then we all went to Lees Sandwiches for some grub. At 1pm we got to Li Su Dong’s school for warm ups. Fu Bi De helped me make a dope spear which I will be using on Sunday. After warm ups we went home to get changed and drew lots at the Hilton. My order of events are:

Saturday

Changquan – #5 out of 34

Taijiquan – #2 out of 6

Taijijian – #4 out of 6

Jianshu – #14 out of 14

Sunday

Qiangshu – #8 out of 14

Had a delicious pasta dinner that my mom made along with some carrots and celery. Going to make my tai chi music now and then get some rest. Been training 2 years specifically for this. Going to do my best tomorrow.

Currently thinking about what Damarques Johnson (from the Ultimate Fighter US vs UK) says before a fight.

Something to the effect of-

God thank you for letting me fight. I don’t pray for victory, I just ask that I fight to the best of ability and thank you for letting me have the chance to display my skill.
