It's tough to be away. This extended time off over the holiday break has been tough on me. To make it even tougher, Deb and I are heading out tomorrow for a 10 day cruise and won't be back until Jan 16th meaning my first class back will be Jan 19th, yikes. That's 31 days away from the Kwoon!!
Now I want to clarify, I am totally pumped to go on this trip with my wife to the Caribbean and the Christmas break was as amazing as it could be, family, friends, all the good stuff. All I am saying is the time away from the Kwoon leaves a hole in me that proves how much I love going to the classes and learning Kung Fu. What I am noticing is an imbalance at the moment, where the interaction with others at the Kwoon should be, it isn't.
So I practice at home, I have a mirror for visual reflection, I have a mind (insert comment..) for mental reflection, but the feedback that I crave the most is absent. I know there are one-on-ones available, but I don't utilize them, that is on me. I am an in person kind of guy, not a zoom/facetime/whatever kind of guy. Having a meeting via Zoom is as awesome as it is necessary, trying to explain and show a "blockage" with something is tough. I struggled a lot with this during Covid only having classes on Zoom. I understood and whole heartedly supported the need for it but I struggled nonetheless. Hard for this old dog to change his ways I guess, I'm just a relic cemented in the past.
So know that I am thinking of you guys and gals while we are away, looking forward to seeing yall in person come the 19th.
