I feel that on Mondays I am more lucid, so I'll be moving my weekly journal posts.
My hand form for the year is Hung, the reasons for choosing this form are many. It helps train consistency of stances, something I have been lacking in my training. It also only has two stances, the horse and open-x, the two stances I need the most improvement in. The last reason, but one that can be found in every form, is two handedness.
On Thursday I forgot my sword at home, I only worked on Hung during I Ho Chuan and made a major breakthrough. The transition between the first and second part of the form requires fluidity with strength in one's stance. By focusing on my two handedness, I found the transition flow naturally from horse, to open-x, than back to horse.
On the weekend I found myself apathetic again. The wear off training leaves me wanting to do nothing on my weekends, but I'm try to work on this. I believe the largest contributor to this dilemma is the constant ache my muscles and joints are in, but that should only be from the hard work that my body has not experienced in months prior and will lessen as I improve.
I'm am looking forward to seeing each team members 1.0 of their form. We have a lot of great skill and knowledge on this team and am sure that Thursday will really help invigorate everyone.
