Over the past couple weeks I have been working lots on my 5 techniques, and I think that they're getting fairly good. I started working on them a bit late, so I'm kinda impressed with the amount of progress that has been made on them so far. I still have lots of work to do before grading, but I'm comfortable with where they're at for now. One of my biggest troubles with them was going away from the curriculum. I found this difficult because that's what I've always practiced, and what's on the curriculum was mostly my first instinct when it came to defending against and deflecting an attack. I was going over the Knife defenses in the curriculum today, and when I got to the "defense against knife slash" one I realized that the beginning is nearly identical to one of my techniques, but the end is completely different. That's when I realized how much the curriculum influences my techniques and how I think abut defense in general.
