That was the question asked by Sifu Rybak. My answer could turn into an epic story but I will summarize it in eight words, "because it is where I need to be".
Sounds simple but let me shed a little light on that (sorry, I lied, it is much more that eight words).
Kung Fu grounds me. It is a constant reset of my values and intentions. It is an ever expanding bubble of positive influence, centering at the Kwoon and expanding outwards with me every where I go. When I find have gone to the edges of that influence, it allows me to push just a little bit beyond it without rupturing. Kung Fu allows me the privilege of confidence, the exultation of inner peace, and the ability to live and love without fear. It challenges me, it holds me accountable to my actions, it shows me the "way" without forcing me to follow. It is the cornerstone in who I am and who I strive to be.
So as you can see, those eight words, "because it is where I need to be", summarize an epic novel that is my life.
