Just a quick entry today before I escape the cold and got ot Mexico for a week.
Friday's class reinforced the
importance of footwork and having a strong foundation of the basics. As a
white belt learning a weapon, I'm finding that the weapon itself is the
easy part. I have spent all my time to date practicing basic moves with
the nunchuks but now that I am putting them together in a form, the
weakest link is my stances and footwork. It was a bit frustrating at
first but after a talk with Sifu Csillag, I think I gained some
perspective about it. My forms will always need tweaking, no matter how
much I practice. There is always something to improve so getting caught
up in all the little things is counter-productive to someone at my
level.
Dragon dancing was a lot of fun, although I can see how it will be a lot of work to put a polished dance together.
