The Little Things

    Cranes wings in Lau Gar. Specifically in II. In Wednesdays class we really worked on this. It is now Sunday and I am still playing with both their extension outward/sideways(?) and timing/extension with the kick. The more I extend, the higher my kick, the more compressed. the lower my kick. Funny how the body wants to control it's action when the mind is telling it to do something else. I can feel my center move up when I extend to far to compensate for the balance shift, and I can feel my shoulders hunch when I try to keep to tight/compressed. This is definitely a work in progress, and it really opens my eyes to the little things. Now that I can feel the move I am going to watch myself many time in a mirror to see if my mind and body are in harmony or both singing a different song.
