What am I doing?

I haven’t posted a blog since May. I have gotten to the point that I feel physically sick every time I even think about writing a blog and how long it’s been since I published one. Sometimes I sit down and write one, try my hardest to express what I have been feeling. But I’m so bad with words and I really don’t like writing and I can never convey the things I feel on to paper. Sometimes I have a good idea for a blog whether it being about my forms or about class. But then I say to myself “I can’t post this, I haven’t done enough.” “You can’t post anything now.” So I leave them in drafts, I delete them.

I have failed you guys and I have failed myself. I feel very disconnected to the team and it is completely my fault. I will be more consistent I promise. I'm sorry for letting this get out of hand.

At first everyone is just experiment with their new weapons, trying new moves and just getting a feel for it. At first, it’s all awkward movements and missed strikes, but over time, you can see them start to make it their own. Making a weapon form is about self-expression and learning how to move in a way that feels natural to you, while still having proper techniques.  I'm still getting comfortable with my weapon. It's different then ones I have used in the past, that's part of the reason I chose it. I'm really excided to see how my forms come together. Push ups 530 Sit ups 530 Hand forms 25 Weapon forms 10 Sparring 10 Km 78 Art 780
