New Toys

Sometimes you need a new toy to re-ignite your motivation. For runners it could be a new pair of shoes. For martial artist it could be a new weapon. For me it is a new app.

I've been using apps to do and track my exercises and running. Now with a new app (and a new plan on the app) I might be able to get out of the plateau I got into.

Hidden hip

We have been working lots lately on hidden hip flexible distance technique. This is a challenging technique as it has so much in it. Sometimes I feel good with this but sometimes I feel I am not feeling it.

I understand the mechanics of it but what I need to work on is to keep my intent pure. This is hard for me because my mind tend to wander and I also gets tired fast.

Before starting anything, not just in Kung fu, I need to make sure my intent is clear.

Where am I ?

Sifu Brinker asked us if we are were we planned to be. For me the answer is no. With the pandemic I had to shift gears and select a different path. Different goals.

I think adjusting to your surroundings is important.

Now did someone think of their own training?
