June 28, 29, 2013

250 push ups
250 sit ups
50 inside cyclones
50 outside cyclones
5 kempo reps
20 weapon form
5 km walked

With the demo coming close all of our forms have to be top notch. With this in mind I have a few bugs to work out but I don't want to over do reps. The form feels pretty good and at the moment I want to maintain but be mindful of the techniques that need a little tweek when I do some practice reps.

I'm seeing flexibility as being a hindrance to the advancement of my kicks and techniques when practicing forms. This has always been a struggle for me. So I will have to stretch a lot more frequently in order for my kicks to improve. If you only had to kick at knee level I would be awesome. My conditioning has to improve quite a bit. There is still strength but endurance is not of what a Sihing should be. I'm going to, in the near future start installing squat thrusts with my daily routine and throw in a few burpees as well. I have been missing my daily bike rides lately and that really sucks because I could feel a difference in a short period of time with several things. I guess this would be another challenge that has been thrown at me from a full deck of wild cards. I have always had the advantage of working physically hard every day to maintain my strength and endurance and see accelerated progress when I was at the kwoon on a regular basis. Now that I have been in a management scum position I don't have that luxury because I am in the office most of the time or just out for walks. This has been by far the most challenging year for me and where I am at in my Kung Fu. The only thing to do is press on to be the best you can and do everything you can. That's it.
