That felt good. Finally being allowed back into open training was good in every way possible. It was two of the most productive hours in Kung Fu that I have had in quite a while.I'm not saying I don't practice outside of the Kwoon, but being there on the mats is entirely different. It was almost a full room, 17ish people I think, and anyone who missed out really honestly missed out on something special. There was action and excitement in every corner of the Kwoon. Forms here, weapons there, people working with and for each other, this was magic!! I truly enjoy open training just for the simple fact that we are all there for the same reason, to learn Kung Fu. So glad open training is back, this is a huge tool to use in building my Kung Fu temple.
Having Sifu Lindstrom's help was a benefit to me beyond words. His help takes my training to a new level, to be able to not get frustrated or stuck on a particular move, to move forward with a purpose. His guidance and demonstrations opened my flood gates of memory. Thank you Sifu, the help you supplied yesterday has lifted a cloud from my memory and allowed my to move forward on many different levels.
Also a quick thank you to those fellow student that helped me move some "stuff" in our storage afterwards. Many hands do truley make light work, especially when I bring the right keys to open the door (my bad). Sifu Simon Kohut, Nate Kohut, Ethan Thomson and of course Deb and Kody Bjorkquist, thank you for your help.
Grading day #1, less that 2 weeks away. What will it be? Forms? Fitness? 5 apps? Curriculum? I am terribly excited and awesomely nervous either way.It feels like 10 second ago that I was on the 3 week count down, now it's 2 weeks!! Time to wrap this up and do some quiet training while the rest of the house sleeps.
See you on the mats
