The Weekly Wu #4 (9/19-25)
Wow. #4 already. Life is zooming on by! A recap of last week Here is last week’s goal list: Train two times with Yuan Min: Well, I trained two times, but he wasn’t there for the first one. I consider this one done. Bike to work on my non-wushu days (except for downpours): A week [...]
WTV #4 – Yuan Min and I
After Monday’s solitary wushu confinement, I wasn’t sure what might happen with tonight’s wushu training at 5:00 PM. But Yuan Min said it would be okay so i hopped on the scooter around 4:45 PM and headed to the wushu guan to see what he had in store for me. Wushu, it turned out. Plenty [...]
WTB #3 – Me and Mr. Taiji
Since Monday was a holiday I didn’t have to go to work. This meant I had the day free and could go to the wushu guan as per my Monday plan. I spoke with Yuan Min on Friday and asked him if there was a workout at 3pm on Monday but he said he didn’t [...]
The Weekly Wu #3 (9/12-18)
And so begins week 3 of my Weekly Wu. Not too bad. But I won’t be impressed until I’m at Week 30. Recapping from last week, these were my goals: Daily bicycling to work Train with Yuan Min on Monday 25km bike ride on Saturday New daily schedule Again, a bit of hit or miss [...]
WTV #2

WTV #1
Well, my first training has come and gone. Not as bad as it could have been, but no walk in the park either. I arrived early, partly because I was biking and had made sure to give myself plenty of time before-hand until I knew how long it took to get there from my office, [...]
The Weekly Wu (9/5-11)
Well, Xiao Yu has come and left … and come back again! I received a message on Monday evening that something came up back home and she had to take care of an “emergency”. But she’s already back in Xi’an and had a talk with Yuan Min about my training. The good news: It’s a [...]
The Weekly Wu (8/29 – 9/4)
Yes, I renamed it to “The Weekly Wu”. I thought it worked better and .. well .. that’s pretty much it, I guess. So, here we are at the beginning of the journey. Or rather, the next leg of the journey which started 16 plus years ago. As I mentioned before, the plan is to [...]
Welcome to the Weekly Wu
What is the Weekly Wu (武)? In recognizing that there is a long ways to go between where I currently am and where I want to go with wushu in the future (assuming we still have a future together), I understand that the journey is not a quick one. There are many steps and milestones [...]
