I always love the freedom of open training. It's my time to do as I want, in the Kwoon, on my own. Do I work on forms, weapons, fitness, whatever, it is all up to me. This Saturday was no exception.
Started as usual, a little forms, a little weapon, a little this, a little that. Then a new student from Wednesday's class showed up. One class in and he is already at open training, awesome commitment. Of course he was lost as to what to do, so over I came and we spent the next hour going over the basics like stances, etiquette, stick form, and so on. Great stuff. And as always, when showing someone else how to do something, like a proper open X, it forces you to improve on your own technique, priceless opportunity.
So again, open training was probably my best two hours of Kung Fu this week, Thank you Mr Barnes for showing up because by you showing up it forced me to show up (mentally) and work just that little bit harder. Opportunity exploited.
