#BreakingImpossible reminds you: chance of monkey encounters in #HongKong is non-zero!

#running The South Downs is challenging to navigate. Many choices and forks, few landmarks!

Still, I hit the target: Lewes Castle. 🏰
After much veering off, cross country cuts, extra uphills!

#running on the KaiTak skywalk, watching water skiers below, with old & new buildings behind, and all the way in the back, preserved wilds (where the Hong Kong 4 Trails Ultra Challenge is #run!)

We'll see you out there, #BreakingImpossible

#running is never far from #BreakingImpossible's mind.
So, even when focused on #HungKuen #kung fu, I trekked out the former KaiTak airport runway.

My 1990 self would *never* have believed you if you told him he'd go running out there one day!

(Stay tuned for Michael's #OptOutside adventures!)

It was terrific to not only work #HungKuen, but also to get everyone together.
As grandmaster Michael (San Fran) says: we come back to #HongKong to reconnect with our values.

And among them is "family."
The Lams really are a very welcome one. Indeed, as open as their high standard in #kungfu!

Here, #BreakingImpossible sit with Grandmasters Simon Lam Chun-chung & Michael Goodwin (San Fran), plus many of his Brazilian students.

The #HungKuen event spanned a few days: welcome dinner, tournament & workshops.
In between, #BreakingImpossible still find time to jaunt around town for some #kungfu pilgrimage.

Here, the famous Blue House, one of the original #LamFamily #kungfu schools.

(Where's Michael? Please stay tuned - we're sorting the media. Real updates coming soon!)

Another satisfying part? Getting together with global #HungKuen brothers - for #kungfu, and a good time. Here? It's time for milk tea with Swedish sifu, Mattias Lind.

Among the most satisfying parts of the #HungKuen event: getting some of my global students together at the banquet. Yes, Michael is one of my students. Will was able to join us, coming down from Nanjing.

The good ol' days #running
After gorging on dim sum with friends in the ol' stomping grounds, took the opportunity to run waterside to first HK job site in Science Park.
