Five years ago, during the Covid lockdowns, I was talking to my son on the phone. Somehow the conversation turned to roller coasters, and he told me he didn’t like them.

I asked him how many he’d been on.

“None.”

Despite never experiencing one, he already had a sense of fear. So I asked him what fear meant to him, and we spoke about an idea I’d heard from Alan Watts:

“Fear is knowing too much wrong information and not enough right information.”

That conversation has stayed with both of us ever since.

How often do we convince ourselves that something is impossible before we’ve even tried? We imagine the worst, build mountains out of molehills, and allow uncertainty to become certainty.

Carl Jung said:

“Where your fear is, there your task is.”

Growth rarely happens inside your comfort zone. Whether it’s walking into your first martial arts class, speaking in front of people, changing careers, or facing a personal challenge, courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s taking the first step despite it.

One of the things I value most about Wing Chun isn’t just learning how to defend yourself. It’s learning to challenge your own limitations. Every class builds confidence, every mistake becomes a lesson, and every small victory changes the way you see yourself.

The best part? You don’t have to do it alone.

When you join our Wing Chun family, you’re surrounded by people who remember exactly what it felt like to walk through those doors for the very first time. We encourage each other, we learn together, and we all grow together.

Sometimes the hardest step isn’t the training… it’s deciding to begin.

A spiritual master saw a scorpion drowning and decided to take it out of the water. When he did, the scorpion stung him.

Out of pain, the master pulled his hand away from the creature, which fell back into the water, about to drown.

The master tried to pull the scorpion out again but the scorpion stung him once more.

Confused, a young disciple who was there approached the master and asked:

- Excuse me, master, but why do you continue? Don't you understand that every time you try to take the scorpion out of the water, it stings you?

The master replied:

- The nature of the scorpion is to sting and it will not change mine, which is to help.

Saying this and trying this time with the help of a leaf, the master pulled the scorpion out of the water and saved its life.

Then turning to the young disciple, he continued:

- Do not change your nature if someone hurts you, take precautions, because people are almost always ungrateful for the help you give them. But this is no reason to stop doing good, to abandon the compassion that is already in your nature.

I’ll be spending the next few hours starting this drawing for my son’s birthday. It’s been a while since I’ve put pencil to paper, but this one means a lot.

About nine years ago, Caleb began leaving “to-do” lists on my bed for me to find after I came home from teaching. In the morning, he’d wake up to find one written back to him. Eventually, those lists included little drawings—and of course, I had to return the favour.

The joy on his face each morning inspired me to start drawing properly. What began as simple doodles turned into something more, and before long, I found myself up till 1am more than once, determined to finish a piece for him.

Without knowing it, my son gave me the opportunity to learn a skill I never thought I’d develop. And for that, I’m truly grateful. It’s just one of many beautiful memories I’ll hold onto for a lifetime.
