Spaghetti Legs

    So many ideas rolling around, so many things happening. Open train is back, yah! Helping out in the other classes, fun stuff! Beta weapon form due March 28th, yikes and yah!! My morning schedule is back on track, finally! My numbers for IHC are where they need to be, I have no nagging injuries, my head is pretty clear on what I need to accomplish in the next while, family is healthy, spring is here. Really, short of winning a lottery, all is as good as can be expected. 

   But is my foot placement where it needs to be to support all this. What? Sorry, the opening paragraph sidetracked my thought to stances. Obviously my sub-conscious disagreed with my "all is good' attitude. And it is right. I am becoming obsessed with my foot placement. Frustrated is more apt a word. To wide, to shallow, to open, to closed, to deep, constant conflict.

   After filming myself do all the forms I know, I was (and still am) an unhappy camper. What the "film" showed and what I thought I was doing couldn't have been any farther apart, holy eye opener Batman. So I am starting with my stances, yes starting is the key word. By fixing the commitment to my stances, hopefully many other glaringly problems will start to self correct. Flexibility and stiff joints aside, I need to stop making excuses (like flexibility and stiff joints), and just do it. Slow my form down, get the stances right, this is my current mission. 

  So if you see me doing a form and my stances suck, feel free to tell me, I need to be made aware of this cause I can't fix it is I don't think it is broke.
