Chapter 2: Moments where you felt like you didn't belong Chapter 3: Deciding to leave home and moving to Hong Kong Chapter 4: Foreigner woman teaching and training kung fu in Hong Kong, being the first student to do the bai si ceremony In this first part of my journey, I share how I discovered kung fu, why martial arts appealed to me as a young person who often felt different, and what led me to leave my home country and move to Hong Kong to pursue traditional training. Traditional martial arts is not just about techniques. It is about the relationship between teacher and student, years of dedicated practice, and learning how to transform yourself through the process. This is Part 1 of a 3-part series about my 25-year journey through traditional martial arts and kung fu, from a student searching for belonging to becoming a martial arts teacher.
