UBBT 2011 Highlights
Hello all,
2011 has been a very rewarding year and I have improved greatly as a person. The UBBT process has been a driving factor in progressing in my kung fu and in every aspect of my life. Here are the highlights for me:
Blogging - this has been a great tool in ensuring that I stayed on track with my personal goals and connected to the UBBT team. It also took me out of my comfort zone a couple of times, blogging about myself and even sharing personal feelings. This is new and somewhat of a breakthrough for me.
Random Acts of Kindness - recording random acts of kindness helped me to be mindful of being kind. Also, I was more aware when I received random acts of kindness. If these activities catch on for many people, there would be a lot more kindness in the world. This one was very easy to do and it feels good.
Physout - This to me is the biggest factor in being successful in achieving my goals is to publicly record and manage my progress. This is a great tool and I posted my progression on a weekly basis the same time as my weekly blog. It provide me a tracking tool as well as motivation to succeed. I would suggest that this should be a requirement for the 2012 team, just my opinion.
Have a great week!

Hello all,
We are nearing the end of 2011 and it has been a very challenging and rewarding year. Very busy times right now with work, family, christmas, black belt grading process, ubbt year, dragon dance, and some other things. I plan to blog a reflection of my ubbt journey next week as I am on the run this week. All is going well and I am very happy!

December 2011 UBBT Challenge!
This is the final month for our 2011 UBBT and it is prudent to issue a challenge related to blogging. We had our final 2011 UBBT progress meeting this past Saturday and Sifu Brinker nudged us to share our experience through blogging. This is a great way to share our individual journeys with our current team mates and provide our learning for the 2012 I Ho Chuan team.
I would like to challenge all 2011 UBBT participants to blog on this site 5 times in December!
Gamble has 2 blogs today!
Have fun.

Getting Better
There are a group of us candidates grading for our black belts this year and we are in the final stage with a lot of work to do. The focus now is improving our individual techniques and forms. The last couple of weeks have been very challenging and hard on the body physically, but I think we all turned a corner at our evaluation last night. Our partnerships have strenghtened and we have invested a lot of effort in getting better each time, and I think we hit a major milestone last night. Last night felt pretty good and our efforts are being rewarded with continuous improvement. Also, our most recent Dragon and Lion dance looks awesome! I think it came to life when we added the music component.
Have a great week!
