My last post was a "just do it" post. And I have, and I am starting to reap the benefits. My plumbing issue is basically resolved, I still have odds and ends clean up and beautifying happening but the completion of this task is in sight, unless my wife adds to it 😁.
Then there is the Kung Fu aspect. This last week I have stopped over thinking and started "over" doing. By over doing I mean I am acting quicker and analyzing on the go instead of stopping to analyze to the point of inaction and missing valuable real life repetitions. Thursday's IHC class was a great example because of this. Sifu Hayes had us doing a sticky hands move with an outside crescent kick. Usually I would fall into inaction as I thought about how to do this, but this time I kept going until my body told me two things. I see where this is going (I think) and I have a ton of work to do till I get this right. Okay it was three things, it (my body) was exhausted.
As I found old habits creeping in (inaction), I would kick start my mojo and do more reps. By doing this it allowed me to find all sorts of cracks in need of repair. My left and right sides were doing two entirely different moves, my flexibility was horrible, my point of impact of my crescent kick was different with each kick, and so on. Disheartening but necessary. If I don't see what I am doing wrong I can't fix it. By doing more Kung Fu, I saw these ego traps like a neon sign screaming "fix me!". I know these wont be quick fixes, but they will take even longer if I don't get up and do something about it.
So I am going to do some Kung Fu now instead of taking (writing) about it.
