For the past two weeks I have been training intensely with the Iranian national Wushu team. First off there were 30 men in the team and after the first week of rigirous trials, they have narrowed us down to 11 people. 3 Duilian, 3 NanQuan, 2 Taiji and 3 ChangQuan Dao Gun. the final cut isnt for certain yet, but it will most likely be 3 duilian, 1 nanquan, 1 taiji and 2 changquan dao gun. So right now i have a 2 in 3 chance of representing the country in the Beijing competition.
I have made incredibly good friends with the other team members and aside from the pain of training i have been having the best time ever. As always i am grateful to be having such an extraordinary experience. We are living in a dorm in Azadi campus, which is where almost all of the national teams are staying. So every day I am meeting and eating with olympic gold medalists and training next to world champions... it is quite an uplifting environment. Unfortunately there are also many restrictions and hardships associated with training in a strict, political and highly religious environment. But it is the hardship that makes us grow, so amen.
Love to you all. I will update as soon as i get another break. Cheerio
