I hadn't planned on sharing this, but changed my mind after a conversation with Sifu Rybak.
I've been noticing for a while now that my horse stance deepens on its own at times. This is not a conscious effort of needing to lower, it happens naturally. Standing in a horse stance during a warm up for instance is where I first felt this happen. Especially with the punches, instead of my legs feeling fatigued and raising, I feel my body sinking lower and lower on its own accord. A very interesting and cool sensation. A move from dynamic correction, where in the moment I am aware of needed corrections and make the adjustments, to having my body naturally take over. I have also started to experience this while doing my forms. Although, not as noticeable yet because the transitions are occurring so quickly, but definitely happening.
Was I behind and just now catching up? Am I cruising ahead? Or right where I should be for my belt level? Does it even matter? It really shouldn't as long as I am applying myself. I do wonder sometimes though if others are experiencing similar things.
It is important to share because this is part of my journey. There is a sense of beginning to feel more and more comfortable about where I am at in my training. Building self confidence and trusting myself has also been increasing. The dots are connecting and I am beginning to feel better about my abilities which also builds confidence in other areas of my life.
What is everyone else discovering in their training?
Namaste everyone!
