A deeper dive into the Wing Chun concept of grounding. I introduce a new metaphor to help apply this awesome technique.
The Best Advice I’ve Heard
Without a doubt the best advice I have received in many many years becomes my credo moving forward into 2023. “Don’t over estimate the task at hand“

Be Full of Love
Be free of passion yet full of love.

Kings Beach is AWESOME
It’s We Or Nothing
I cringe every time I hear the words “our people“. It’s we or nothing. I cringe every time I hear “The _____ ‘s”. It’s we or nothing. There’s only one special interest group and that is the interest of humanity. No subdivisions no separations. It’s we or nothing. -Sifu Z

Night Hiking Journal 11/1/22

The 1st major snow storm arrives on que. 24* with 100mph wind gusts. Post holing knee deep in some areas. Hiking into the wind with no glasses. Icicles stabbing into my eyeballs. Duely noted. 12 miles tonite. Feeling strong.


First Snow 18* at Squaw

What a fantastic night hike. The air is so crisp it hurts to breath in too fast. The night sky is epic. Hope you are all doing yer kung fu!

The Vortex of Hell

I am seemingly at the vortex of hell. The Sierra’s are staying at about 88* while the surrounding areas are literally on fire. The most current Mosquito Fire is less than 2 hours west of my location. The winds are blowing to the Northeast so the smoke is not yet effecting our area. However the sky is a bit hazy with smoke and a slight wind change could alter air quality for the worse.


The nearby river is a good place to stay cool during times like these. I make sure Luna stays in the shallow end. She is not a buoyant dog. I hope you all are finding a way to stay cool and keeping out of harms way. A challange for us all. Aloha – Sifu Z n Luna
