shanmonster | Too Much Science and Not Enough Philosophy

I did much better at kung fu than I feared I might. We did ten-second drills of different punching techniques, and I managed 54 chain punches in that time period. That's not too shabby. But then we tried a reverse spinning hook kick, which is something I've never done before, and mine are teh suck. I felt like I was back in modern dance class, doing half-assed arabesques again. Hopefully, we can work on them again, and I can get some pointers to see what I'm doing so very wrong.

After the drills, we broke into groups to work on forms. I was happy to work on my staff form again. I haven't done it in about two years, and had never gotten all the way through. Last night, I finished the form by following along. There's no way I'm even close to doing it by myself, but at least I have a few new combinations I can work my way through. One involves an interesting sequence of aerial spins, landing in horse stance. On Thursday, I'll be sure to bring my own staff to class.

When I got home,

f00dave and I hustled off to

snowy_kathryn and

zero_design's place to watch Real Genius. I hadn't seen it in almost twenty years, and was surprised that I still remembered some of the dialogue.

Anyhow, I'd better eat my breakfast now and be off to work. Going to the gym shall have to wait until I'm through my shift.
