Intensity

 So following a couple more visits with the witchdoct….I mean chiropractor, he is very happy with the progress that has been made over the past couple of visits.  He even said that I should return to Kung Fu but only at a 70% level.  OK, the fact that I didn’t take a break from classes is our little secret….got it?

In our past class, (which was magnificent by the way) I think many of us rediscovered something that we have been missing for a while.  INTENSITY.  When we first started I was wondering how do I balance intensity with strict orders to perform at a 70% level.  What I discovered is that intensity does not mean kicking your legs to overextension, stressing joints beyond the stretch limits of tendons, and dousing the brain in gallons of adrenaline. 

Intensity in the past class seemed to come from deep down, a rising energy that could not have been displayed any better than by Sihing Tymchuk’s demonstration of his front thrust kick.  Thank you.  I think everyone felt your intensity with those kicks.

Where I think I can save the 30% in the gas tank according to the Doc’s orders is working on staying loose and fluid in the techniques which is what we all strive to achieve.  It can only mean good things and greater improvement in my situation.
