Moving with balance


Well the first demo is in the books this past weekend and all went pretty well. No lions or dragons were harmed in the festivities and no one stepped in any gopher holes during the demo. Well I stepped into one hole during the dragon dance but only dropped about half a foot. When doing my form many have told me to extend and use my length during each movement of my form. As I performed on Saturday all went well but there are a few spots were I have been overextending to try and again create length. I need to change these spots because now I have been overextending in areas. How do I know, because I can’t change to my next stance without pulling my weight back over my hips which takes time and just feels off. So my work is on rotation of my hands to pull my sword out while not overextending past my centre. Guess it is all how your body feels; have to listen to it once and a while.
