June 20 and 21, 2013

200 push ups
200 sittups
Walked 8km over the last two days
10 reps of Long 1 and 2
10 reps of 18 temple motions
10 reps of Hung 1 and 2

I did a bunch of Long, 1 and 2, 18 temple motion, and Hung 1 and 2 reps in the water today. It was the first time I have ever practiced forms in the water. What a great tell tale way to check resistance vs flow. It was also interesting doing the forms with the assistance of water. Taking away the pull of gravity gives you the time and the awareness of the technique throughout your whole body. From the transition to the grounding of it all. How you place your feet, the timing of your stance to the end of your strike. Once I removed myself from the water and practiced these same forms a whole new awareness to not only where I was shown of instability but a lack of continuous two handed mechanics. When one hand is dormant, even for a few seconds, the water gives it away right now. It's very hard to explain right now but I have definately discovered a new training tool that I plan to utilize in the future.

On a note outside of training I feel very bad for the people in southern Alberta right now. Imagine one minute your doing whatever it is you do, next minute your street is under water and your house is flooded and your being forced to leave. I hope everyone has gotten away safe and sound and has a place to stay and food in their bellies.
