Katana!!!

I am loving the katana form I am doing so far. It was put together so nicely and I love how it's feeling. I think I have already practiced my weapon form more than I did last year and most importantly I enjoy doing it. Simon is giving me a lot of tips on how to visualize everything which I think is helping a lot as well. I am excited to learn more and refine it. 2,575 Push Ups 3,300 Sit Ups 209 Ks 293 Hand Form 265 Weapon 150 Sparring Favorite word I learned this week: Volatile : Liable to change rapidly and unpredictably, especially for the worse.

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.

Life

Today my cat past away in my arms. To me he wasn't just a cat he was my best friend, my everything. when ever I felt down he was there. I love him with everything I have. today I haven't done much of anything. But all day I felt the need to blog. Before I started writing my blog I looked at my numbers. One of my requirement for this year was to take care of him. His death kinda makes me feel like I failed. but Once I added up the minutes that I spent cuddling/petting him I realized that just this morning I reached my goal. And isn't that beautiful in its own way.  7,680 Push Ups  8,910 Sit Ups  973      Ks  1,016 Hand Form  1,072 Weapon  679      Sparring  1,717 Japanese  12,445 Reading 4,015 Pet Jasper My favorite word: Cherish: Protect and care for someone lovingly.

Watching

One of the coolest things about the IHC is watching grow more comfortable with their weapons. 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.
