Disciple Ceremony

I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about the disciple ceremony. Not only have I never witnessed one before, but there was also a flood of students returning to the school. Some I've seen over the years more than once, and some I haven't seen in what seems like forever. And I was a little overwhelmed with everyone arriving all at the same time.

It was an amazing experience and I'm so glad that I got to share it with so many of my fellow martial artists. I'm sure there are a few, who came just for the certificate, and will do little in upholding the San Feng Lineage, but the majority, I am glad to officially call my kung fu brothers and sisters. We've been so lucky to watch one another change and grow over the past couple years, and I feel as though our mutual respect for one another, and for the tradition, will continue to bond us to one another for the rest of our lives. I hope so anyways.

I feel thankful that I was given this opportunity.
