Heyo everyone. This blog does not have a major theme; I figured I would use the opportunity to introduce myself and relearn how to use blogger again before the year kicked off. And a good thing I did, because it may have or may have not taken me almost an hour to figure out how to log back in.
I am sure many of you know me or have met me at some point throughout your Kung Fu journey, but for those of you who may have not, here is a little about me. As you may have pieced together, my name is Simon Kohut, and I am indeed a part of the Kohut family (or so I am told). Both of my parents as well as my younger brother are also students in the school, and before the pandemic began you could almost always find one of us on the mats at any given time. We are nearly an entirely an online presence now, although I assure you I would much rather be in-person if I could. Alas, ce la vie.
As for myself, this will be my seventh year in the IHC team, having done six consecutives years before a two year gap during the years of the Ox and Tiger. I have always excelled at kinetic learning, and tend to struggle in having to put pieces of a puzzle together in my mind before I could pull it off kinetically. With that said, if you ever see me pause during a weapon or hand form and start staring blankly at nothing, I can guarantee the wheels are turning, but I cannot guarantee that they are getting anywhere fast. And I'll throw another guarantee in. You WILL see it happen.
Unfortunately, most of my presence this year will be through the Zoom screen. I currently live and attend school in Lethbridge, and while I would love to make the 10-hour round trip for class every week as much as the next guy, I do not want to even think about what that would cost in gas money. That aside, I will be flying back for the upcoming banquet, so I look forward to seeing you all there.
Cheers,
Simon K
