Opportunities

Unfortunately i didnt do the tiger challenge. I withdraw the Friday. I still enjoy the day due i was able to be involved. Watching sihing kohut do the score keep , seeing the performance of level 1 young dragon and adult levels 2 . Everyone seemed to have lots of fun ! I noticed some different between both level. Kids were not afraid to ask to start again and no sign of deception while going back to sit with the others,They kept their smile . In the adult level they were able to keep going even if mistakes was made but somehow able to tell the frustration, stress or deception . I might be wrong too . The amount of training and understanding of the forms can be the difference between forms but also the spirit of performance and to be judged. Does kids and adult feel the same way about pressure and performance?

Practice demo

 Last week practice demo wasn’t my best performance. I got lost . Many reasons that i can think. Doing the form on different directions that i am practicing at home , struggling to get the flow with the first figure 8 then my back . I attempted to keep going by a different section but yet ended in the wrong lead and i completely forgot the rest of the forms. With the knife defence we heard often stay calm and expect blood but in this intense that was back my shocking me and i got destabilize . Perhaps in a real fight the adrenaline will help to keep going . Pain is an element that need to be on my mind . Aware of the difference between pain and hurting should reflect on my intent and listen . I wanted to perform well and led me on the opposite due i didn’t have the control that f my need.       Pu 8375 /su 9505 / sparring 145/ km 516/ luong 138.            Ako 265 / butterfly sword 215

Slow

 I have been missing lots of classes lately. I am back working on modified duty on day shift. My back is still giving me issues. At the end of the day it is hard to find a position without hurting.I continue Physio and i have prioritizing my exercises over kungfu . This said my number have drop but yet i am feeling i am doing great for looking after myself. I have a book in my bag that have been ignored. Taking notes is not my strength but never too late to change some bad habits. Blogging is hard too but maybe by taken note he can help me .             Pu 8200(7625) su 9205(8530) sparring 143(131).                 Km 485(413) luong 133(105) butterfly sword 203(158) ako 245(180)
