Flying vs. Falling

This week was a tough week. Full of upheaval that knocked the wind out of my sails. Looking at my figures though, I didn't end up too far off track. I did 1420 pushups, vs. my new goal of 1820 per week. This was my first week of this revised goal of 260 pushups per day, and I managed to accomplish that for 5 out of the seven days. Next week I will meet the target.

I'm pleased with a few other things about this last week.

The Wednesday night white belt class was an excellent review of combinations, and I plan to follow this up with home practice this week. Theory was also reviewed, and I feel confident in this area now. Additionally, at open training on Saturday, Mr. Crawford had a number of technique questions, and I was pleased to be able to give him some quality answers with confidence.

On Tuesday night, Sifu Playter held the first Lion Dance/Demo practice. Mr. Tymchuck and I had his full attention, as no one else showed up. I worked on my Lao Gar, and recieved some in-depth feedback. This was followed up by a mini-demo practice after Lion Dance practice on Friday. Again, Sifu Playter reviewed my Lao Gar, noted the improvements, and gave me some further advice. So, some excellent coaching time on forms was had this week. It turns out that sihing wonsiak hopes to do some lao gar demos as well this summer, and her lao gar looks very nice. This gives me an opportunity to offer up an alternate routine to practice for demos and recieve the same quality coaching for these also.
