Year 2 Week 5

Tuesday will mark the one month mark of the beginning of the year of the Rat, Which also means one month since the Banquet. Even though it has only been one month, it has felt like five months. Time is weird like that sometimes. Except for when I'm in the kwoon. Time seems to always be on point with how it feels. When you spend fifty minutes there for class, it feels like fifty minutes. Then you walk out to go home and the ten minute drive feels like a fifteen minute drive.It's like the kwoon is a central place where we just "reset". Everything feels normal.

Week 4 Year 2

This past week we have started to do stick again in my class. I still remember the old stick 1, 2, and 3. Now with the introduction of the new Stick 2, it will be a bit more difficult to remember. I am still glad that we have brought Stick back into our class. I am also glad that there is now a Curriculum up on Kwoon Talk. Now I can get a general idea of what we will be working on in class each month. I am also getting closer to the end of Lau Gar with each Saturday that passes.

Week 3 Year 2

Developing a form is what I thought it was going to be. Difficult. With that being said, I feel like I have my beta version of my beta done. It definitely needs lots of work, but I now have the base done. I got it done way quicker than I thought it would, even with the form still being about 30 seconds. Continuing on with weapons, I am glad that the smaller kids are starting to learn how to use a stick. Some kids are on their third or fourth class, and they're already learning Stick 1! It's amazing. Helping the kids learn stick has also made me question myself on what I actually remember of Stick. So far my memory is holding out.

Week 2, Year 2

This past week has been an really good start to the year of the Rat for me. I say that because it has felt like my most productive week in an long time. I'm not sure why, but it felt like it.

That's where I left on Sunday. Now, it's Tuesday. Whoops. I just got back from helping out with the kids classes where we worked on "tuned down" drills. I would consider that to be "rounds of sparring", but I would like to know what you guys think. And even though I am finishing this on Tuesday, I will still be using my numbers from Sunday just so it's easier for me to update them next week.
