Stratford Middle School

            On Wednesday nights, I go to Kung-Fu for 50 minutes.  In kung-fu, we train fighting and self-defense.  It is very hard work, but it is well worth it.  We not only do hand forms in kung-fu, but also weapons, including the staff and the sword.  There are also many different belt levels, some like green, blue, and the black ones are weapon forms.  I enjoy kung-fu because it helps me build my character with the exercise and the hard work.  The masters train me to do quite a lot, but kung-fu is not annoying, but it is very good exercise and training.  However, kung-fu can be very pushing and hard, and when I am tired, my body is not very comfortable.  But it gets better after a while and a week later, I am ready to start again.  I have to come early, as I go directly to kung fu from school.  I like to exercise, and one way I do so is by doing kung-fu.  I want to do kung-fu until I get the black belt rank.

SKZ PERIODICAL December 03, 2011

•••••••••••••••••••    Forward    •••••••••••••••••••





Watching  the flying time passing by, Shaolin Kungfu Zen has been in Almaden Valley for 5 years.  Focusing on  Learning requirement in classes  and Culture promotion among community,  SKZ has  been thriving  for  utmost   Teaching method,  Interior hardware  and Performance integration ever since.

 This Article, meant to be the bridge between students and Studio,  is supposed to be the second periodical published on quarterly basis. However, due to some  subjective reasons, the first one and this one  are now one year away.  Nevertheless, SKZ will keep on finding the best and soonest way to keep all SKZ  participant posted periodically from now on through different media as well.   

During this first half decade,  SKZ has been growing rapidly and steadily with the help and support from students and parents plus the hard working from all SKZ faculties.  Being recognized by the community and other medias,  SKZ  again has been and will be perfecting  the teaching methods hoping to bring out each student’s most possible potential.   Along with Sweat and Tears in between  Laughter and Crying, we are glad to see our students positively stepping up to the right direction starting from ground zero!

With these  fruitful result filling our hearts , trophies  encouraging  our  training  and positive comment to our hard work, SKZ will undoubtedly move forward  by  the support of parents, enthusiasm of students and contribution of all staffs while  fulfilling ourselves and caring for others!

  刊首语：

    时间在课堂的口令声中悄然流逝，转眼间Shaolin Kungfu Zen 在Almaden已经成立五年了，五年来围绕学员的学习和社区的文化推广，我们做了一次又一次的调整和改变，从教学计划、师资、武馆内部硬件以及外部展示平台的建设和维持都可谓是一步一个脚印。这是武馆的第二期期刊，期刊的建立是想搭建武馆与学员之间的桥梁，原本计划是每三个月一期，但是受到客观环境的制约，两期刊物相距一年，相信随着武馆整体工作的进一步完善，武馆的信息将会以更快捷的方式传递给大众。

    五年来武馆在同学和家长们的信任支持下稳步发展，在教室员工的辛勤努力工作下得到社会各界的认可和接受。在综合工作开展的工程中，我们总是将教学放在武馆工作的首位，围绕这个核心思想武馆不断加强教师业务学习，在课堂上更是针对不同学员的条件进行逐步要求，促使每个学员都能体现个体能力的最大化，达到传业解惑的目的避免泛泛而为之的错误思想。课堂中有汗水有泪水，有笑声也有哭声，总之在一遍又一遍的练习中同学们向着一个理想的层面迈进。五年来我们从零起步，学员们在教师们的带领下一步一个脚印，看着眼前硕果累累，心中无限充实。赞美是对行为的肯定、奖牌是对成绩的激励。看到家长们的默默支持，学员们自信的提升和教师愿意付出的行动已经是对武馆工作的肯定。相信围绕完善自我-关爱他人的教育理念必将伴随武馆的步伐走向下一个辉煌。



Jason's Tiger Claw Tournament thoughts

 Overall I understand some of the frustrations others have expressed in regards to the organization of the tournament.  My experience both with the KungFu tournaments and sparring tournaments that I have attended is that they are all generally like this, due to many factors such as late admissions of competitors, lack of sufficient volunteer staff and sometimes even judging staff.  It takes a lot of effort to put on a tournament and often the organizers rely heavily on the community to support it (in the form of volunteers and donations).  I have not yet attended a ‘bad’ tournament.  I think that every experience can be a positive one, provided that we take the time to appreciate everyone’s efforts, and identify how we can improve it the next time for our self and others.  For this tournament specifically I witnessed many competitors encouraging each other and that made me very proud, not only to be a practitioner myself, but for children who attended and received that same positive encouragement from other teammates.  I am looking forward to the next one.
