I didn't have that good of a week this week. The last thing I wanted to do was get out of bed and go to kung fu. But I did, and every time I left I felt better then when I got there. I wasn't 100% there all the time but at least I went. 2,045 Push Ups 2,340 Sit Ups 149 Ks 259 Hand Form 225 Weapon 90 Sparring Favorite word I learned this week: Astute : Having or showing an ability to accurately assess situations or people and turn this to one's advantage.

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. And by the time I might have picked up the courage to post them they have lost relevance. You can’t post something about a class that happened 3 weeks ago or a conversation that happened 2 week ago. I’m starting to lose the courage to post this blog already.  So other then not blogging what have I been doing? Well I haven’t been doing enough pushups or sit ups, I have barely done my...

Progress

For my hand form this year I chose a school form that I have been doing my whole life, Da mu hsing. I chose it for many reasons, some being that I never learnt 5, others being that we haven't focused much in class on it. But the main reason was that it was my least favorite form. After I chose it I deeply regretted it, but that doesn't matter I couldn't go back, I would just have to live with it or change my perspective. At the start I just let it be because it was to much effort, instead I was just doing it for my numbers, not going any deeper then surface level.  One day after class I was watching people do their forms, and the way they did it was mesmerizing. it inspired me to make my form a better bit by bit so maybe one day I could feel that way about me. I was focusing on the first one and started asking people to watch and critique my form.  Now my favorite form is the first Da mu hsing. All I have to do is do it again 4 more times.

Practicing my forms

Today I got to work on my forms with my sibling. I worked on the part of Mlong Kuen that I already knew and solidified it, but I also worked on learning a few more moves in the form. I figured out parts I was doing wrong as well as more of it, and now I feel a lot more confident with the part of the form I have. We spend about an hour going back and forth doing our forms. It was fun because we were listening to music as we were practicing. It was also more motivating to do it with someone else pushing me forward.  50,000 50,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,609 1,000 9,000 Total 3480 3830 191 112 113 297 351 4080 Amount Left 46,520 46,170 809 888 887 1,312 649 4,920 # I should be 13411 13411 268 268 268 432 268 2414 Per Day 130 130 3 3 3 4 3 23 Push-ups Sit-ups Hand Form Weapon Form Sparring Kilometers AOKs Art
