POW!

We're coming up on the last month of UBBT 7, man did time fly by for me this year.
Last week Silent River had our annual sweatfest for money, otherwise known as pandamonium. It's a great excuse to get creative and get everyone sweating in new ways. One thing about this event is that there are always students who shine and really inspire you to try harder. I had the chance to help out in the adult beginner class the night they did their Pandamonium. It was set up as a circuit with stations and we rotated after a certain amount of time. I just stayed at the pushups and situps station and did them all class, great catch up for me. What impressed me the most is the students who have the hardest time doing this stuff, but put more into it than a lot of advanced students. It's the people who have passion for what they're doing and aren't afraid to struggle that always inspire others the most. I hope I never stop trying things because I think someone else might think I look stupid. I hope I always remember that my struggles might inspire someone else, just as others do to me. UBBT is supposed to be a struggle, it's the ULTIMATE BLACK BELT TEST after all. If you've fallen off the wagon, it doesn't mean you can't get back on as many times as you want, heck I do it about 4 times a week. I am going to finish this year with a bang!
