Funny how sometimes something that didn't make sense or work the way you expected it to was just waiting for you to verbalize the question so you could answer it yourself. Case in point, why was my transition from a open-x to a horse stance not working. Well duh, my open-x wasn't an open-x so the transition reflected that and my horse stance sucked.
I had this epiphany (again it seems) in Tuesday's class. Whilst doing Long I+II, I struggled with this very transition. I raised my hand to ask why but as the words were leaving my mouth my brain said "cause your open-x sucked dippy" Well, this opened the mediocrity box. If that stance sucked, what else sucked? Frustrating and enlightening at the very same time. By my "landing foot" for my open-x being very pigeon toed (turned in? only 60 degrees instead of 90?), my horse stance was off balance and very unstable, therefor my next move felt twisted and weak which cascaded several moves until I was able to correct my trajectories.
I have been here before. I have no one or nothing to blame but myself and the way I train. If I train poorly, it will be reflected in my forms. I was and it did. I hope to not blog about this again but that means I need to have a talk with the Marshal of my six harmonies, my Intent, and come to an understanding as to where it/I am headed.
