Humans of Wing Chun: Efril (4/4)
As far as my development in sport is concerned...
If you don't train, you won't progress (2)
As far as my development in sport is concerned, I hope to learn to absorb and use the power of others better and better. I think I'm doing it in the right way now. I live consciously and take my training very seriously. In the future there may also be more time to train and, for example, to take Impact classes in the evening.
A better world for everyone!
When I was young, I didn't have a specific dream job, although I did dream of being a superhero. Now I would like to contribute to society as a designing engineer. My goal is to make a difference to the technology industry and contribute to the energy transition, in order to create a better world for everyone.
I think that practicing Wing Chun can also contribute to a better world. To form a society in which people treat each other well. At WuDae, for example, you are really embraced when you enter. It is a place where you interact with each other in a pleasant and respectful way. Everyone is allowed to be themselves here, and you learn to take the differences between people into account. I also see this as an example of what I want to pass on to my children and grandchildren: how I want to treat my environment and what I hope society will increasingly be like.
Keep going and doing your best!
If I could go back in time, I would advise myself to just carry on as I have always done. I don't regret things from the past. I also think there is no point, because my experiences have shaped me into who I am today. You never stop learning, so all you can do is keep doing your best. By giving yourself time to grow and develop, everything becomes easier and more fun.
For anyone considering practicing Wing Chun, I would say: don't hesitate, take a trial lesson and see if it is something for you. In any case, I will continue to train and develop myself further. I will continue to help others and inspire my children and grandchildren.
