A Plethora of Kung Fu

    Where to even start. There seems to have been more Kung Fu moments this week than in recent times. Every class had it's moments, to recap them all this would be a loooong blog, so I'll choose a few of the most memorable ones. 

   Tai Chi, linear vectors with maintaining cohesion. I noticed I was starting to sway side to side when transitioning between moves. With a little tap in the right direction from Sihing Brinker, sway gone, vectors corrected, feels much better. It was my foot placement, to wide, simple fix. 

   Grappling in the level one classes.  While working with one of the level ones, I realized he was extremely uncomfortable with the contact that goes along with some of the moves. Quick fix was to get him to mirror me off to the side with no contact. Bingo! Worked for him and for me. Felt good to find a solution like that and help both him and me learn.

   IHC class, you were there, you know how much fun that was. Those team push ups, OMG!! Parachute, never done that before, seen the kids do it many times but never got to experience the team work required to make it work, cooool!! Then the "demo", sliding one form into the next like that, brilliant!! I have chills just reviewing it in my mind.

   Then there is open training. If you were there, you know how great it was. I even went outside my comfort zone and did some sparring. I got schooled! I loved it!! What more can I say. 

   So to recap, what a week, Kung Fu was everywhere all the time. It was a constant companion journeying with me and helped to put an extra shine on the entire week. Thank you.
