With just over a month remaining before the Chinese New Year celebration
at Silent River, time is at a premium.
Currently I am juggling around aggravated muscles and joints, while
trying to cram in the much needed practice of forms and weapons.
At times it can seem overwhelming, but not unexpected. Every year there
is always a sense of urgency in getting things done. Because I have limited opportunity every year
to perform in the various demo’s through the year, I always feel there is a
thick layer of rust that has to get worked out for a public performance. Battling the demo challenges also means
battling the feeling for the need for cram training. I am brought back to the old saying, “Everything
in moderation….including moderation”.
So with that in mind, repetition is on the menu. My highest focus is on
the Sai, Lau Gar, and Kempo at this point.
Learning the dragon dance is good, but in the words of the kids these
days, I feel like a NOOB. Burying the old habits in forms I am familiar while
learning new habits in the form of the Dragon will prove to be a mixmash of
Kung Fu awesomeness for the upcoming month.
