During the meeting this Saturday I thought of all kinds of things I'd blog about but now that I'm writing I can't think of any of them. I am guilty of blogging a lot about things unrelated to kung fu, so I will try to be more on track from now on.
I have been thinking of black belt grading lately, mostly because it's coming up quick for those grading, but also because it makes me think of my I Ho Chuan experience. I think that the most challenging thing for me preparing for my own grading was coming up with 5 original techniques. I have always felt that I lacked creativity in this area, and honestly my techniques were terrible. I felt the same dread thinking of making up my own form, especially with a weapon. Finally coming up with something that got approved by Sifu Brinker was really awesome. I think that has been the high point of this year for me. Dragon dance has also been something I didn't think I would be that into but has turned out to be great. I thought that our Tiger challenge performance went really well and a special thanks to Sifu Wetter for holding me up for so long, and also kick him in the legs a million times while we practiced. I'm looking forward to seeing where we go from here.
