- Make a fist.
Make it strong.
Make a tight fist.
When you apply pressure, you gonna apply pressure slowly.
You gotta do it gradually, (mumbles)
you try to resist, do your best to resist.

Season Four.
So my partner was Trey Pierce from season one.
And when we went through the exercises,
the first time I was just super fucking ruby,
like, you know, putting my arm down.
It's not happening (laughs).
And he tried to use like balloons in the face.
And then the second time when we were doing it again
and we got more into the, you' re powerless,
you're weak, I started to really feel those feelings again
that I was holding back and Sifu, you know,
the turmoil I was going through in the middle of this year
of loosing my father.
And then it was the emotional feeling
of being next to him on everyday basis.
And not being able to save him knowing that nothing
that we can do can save him.
And that feeling made me feel weak and powerless.
And when Trey had tried, it was effortless, my arm
just caved in and soon as that happened,
I just broke out in tears.
And as much as I tried to be strong,
and I know a lot of us try to be strong all the time.
When we dig deep down into things
that emotions are lower self that holds us back.
It's really hard to move forward because we're focusing
on the things that are holding us back.
And I know that if my father could look at me now
he's gonna want me to push forward.
He knows that we're facing a lot of things
but he could still want us to push forward.
So that's why when we did the exercise again,
I incorporate that.
I told myself exactly what you're saying be powerful,
be as powerful as you can be.
Make your arm go to the fucking war
and go across fields if you need to.
And when I did that, I just imagine him
behind my shoulder, telling me you can do this.
You can always do this and you can do so much more.
Just got to keep going.
And I thank you for that.
We love you Sifu.
- I love you. (audience claps)
