LYNX THOUGHTS

Elbows and Energy

Last night was a good night. I lead class, and Kung Fu was definitively present. The energy was good, the attention was good, when drilling on something people paid attention and improved quickly... I did some basics, some 'reverse' moves (left-sided tornado kicks and the like) and dug back to the days of Gene and brought forth some more advanced line drills. Everything flowed really well and I was having a lot of fun teaching, and already know what I'm doing when next I teach. Learned a bit more of the Broadsword vs Spear set, and what a surprisingly tiring set it is. A lot of up-and-down motion makes for a good leg workout, especially the inner thighs. Sifu said we should finish the set before we head off to China as it is short enough, so that'll be nice, not leaving a set half-done while we learn a few more while in China. This sunday a few of us whom are going will get together to talk China, general travel stuff and the like for those who haven't been.

Also saw Dr Fuji for the first time today in a couple of months -- with all the hard training and the falls, plus the teaching heating/cooling cycle, my muscles were apparently a mess that no ordinary hand could deal with -- not even the evil thumbs of Dr Fuji. No, it took weight and elbows...
