Horse Stance

We participated in a great Sihing class on this past Friday night.  I seem to learn best when we take a specific technique or form and repeat the process many times.  Repitition is a great learning technique for me personally.  One of the messages from Sifu Brinker was to listen to what we were being told and incorporate the information while being "in the moment".  Specifically, we were to focus on the perfect horse stance throughout the kempo form.  When I inserted this gift into my personal kempo form the results were tremendous.  I now feel centered throughout the entire form just by paying particular attention to the horse stances within the form, even while swatting mosquitos when practicing outside.  I am also gaining confidence in the kempo form and I needed to do this.  Perfect horse stances will be the theme of this week's forms practice.  Have a great training week!
