Gold Sash

In my last post on Kung Fu I talked about the difficulties of transitioning to Kung Fu from karate. Since then I have completed my requirements for my first test and passed it earlier in the month. I have now officially been promoted to "beginner" level, indicated by my new gold sash. For the first test, one is required to know the stepping form, punching form, and the 10 Tan Tui. Now I am learning the first Jow Ga form - Sei Ping. I still have a long ways to go to become proficient in Kung Fu, but at I am starting to feel more comfortable in class. I no longer feel clueless, and I can keep up better with drills. Perhaps my prior experience in martial arts is helping afterall. Every now and then tho, the instructor tells me to stop doing things like karate, and I'm sure I will hear it a few more times still. Anyways, now I feel like there is hope - I can be good at Kung Fu too!
