Wasn't nice today.

Did some bag work tonight to do some different combinations and get a smooth flow for sparring. It would appear I'm out of practice. Worked on timing and a grounded stance with projection stepping followed with a strike and followed up with whatever came to mind. I changed up leads to train with all limbs and work on  flow and timing the rotation for a grounded impact. Crane stances need to come up a bit and work on some endurance. Did sais reps tonight full power/ full speed. I could feel while doing the form what was missed during a technique. But I didn't stop and think about. I did my reps back to back and I can tell doing the form slow for the last while has definitely helped. This also gives me too much time to overthink and completely mess up the whole thing. So I am going to change up the speeds and hopefully this gets me to where I should be at this point of the year. Once I can get the flow happening I can work on balanced endurance and grounded power with all techniques and actually visualize an attack and a defense.
