Oh Me, Oh My!




Lessons, opportunities and experiences are coming fast and furious these past few weeks. Part of me wonders how I will keep up.

My eye for detail is expanding and I am developing a greater awareness of key body components as they relate to my six harmonies. There are aspects that are working well and other areas I thought I had corrected that still need work. I know I am barely scratching the surface and am amazed and excited to be on this journey.  

As I apply lessons learned there have been leaps forward and at times backwards as well. Techniques are being fine tuned and there are corrections being worked on. The feedback and lessons are great as they provide building blocks to increasing my eye for detail and becoming a better martial artist.

Correcting a knife hand recently had an amazing impact on how solid and grounded I felt in my stance. The short term drawback to this was it broke my flow as my brain was basking in the awesomeness of the new feeling. I currently feel a bit stuck, but this is good as it has led to me thinking more about phrasing and how that relates to sound focus. I'm thinking this will be a separate blog in the future.

Our 2nd degree class on Saturday was chock full of more great lessons and feedback. Oh me oh my, so much to work on! At this point I am not overwhelmed, but I can see the need for a smarter more intentional plan and adjustments in my training.
