Get ready to be inspired as Tesmond Ong from Singapore shares his incredible Kung Fu training experience with us!
Tesmond: Hi everyone, I’m Tesmond and so I’ve been here for a month training. It’s been a wonderful journey. I came here with my family, my younger brother. So 12 years ago, two of my older brothers, they were here, and yeah, they told me a lot of crazy stories and how they got tortured and how my elder brother cried and everything. So at first, I was a bit scared and skeptical to come. But ever since we came, everyone has been very nice to us. The teachers are nice, the Shifu was very nice to us, and it was not as crazy as how my brother described it to us. So we were kind of thankful for the hospitality that everyone gave. And yeah, this is kind of sudden, so I really have nothing planned to say. Yeah, I really love the weather here, and actually want to thank Shifu for not giving us what they call the Shaolin Hotel, hopefully you all won’t find out as well. And yeah, so my advice is if you want to come here, do come with an open mind. Don’t be scared to experience the culture and the lifestyle here. Yeah, that’s it for me, man, peace out! Hey, pop! Yeah, I think that’s the best of your dance. Yeah.
Yuan Shifu: Okay, do you have any plan for the future?
Tesmond: Probably gonna – my plan in the future, I want to work with animals and I want to help my dad with his business, so that’s about it. And have a healthy, healthy mental health and physical health, too, most important.
Yuan Shifu: Okay, I hope that you can keep on training when you’re back home.
Tesmond: Thank you, thank you. You may think that the guy behind the camera looks fierce, but it’s actually a very, very nice guy.
Yuan Shifu: Okay, cool, thank you very much! Oh, how old are you?
Tesmond: 24 years old this year.
Yuan Shifu: This year, yeah. Okay, will you come back to China again in the future?
Tesmond: Most definitely, especially during the winter time, I want to experience the snow here again.
Yuan Shifu: Again, yes. Okay, oh actually it was your first time to see the snow?
Tesmond: Yeah, 24 years of my life and it’s out of nowhere. I think it’s a Christmas miracle, even though it was in March.
Yuan Shifu: Okay, so there are four seasons in China and every season is a bit different, so welcome back in winter. Yeah, then it will be a hard challenge for you.
Tesmond: For sure, for sure.
Yuan Shifu: Okay, cool, thank you very much, peace out, bye-bye!
