I just returned from Cuong Nhu Oriental Martial Arts's International Annual Training Camp in Raleigh, NC. On Friday I taught a two hour class on staff fighting. I also fought 24 one-minute rounds with padded staves against 13 different opponents. Afterwards, I reviewed the videos of my fights with my teacher, Master Bao Ngo. We talked about some small changes to my footwork and some new drills he wants me to start working on, but, to my great relief, he was very pleased with my progress since our last training session. I am excited to redouble my efforts gearing up to the World Championships in Hungary at the end of July!
