I'm Going Somewhere Warm

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.
