Just a quick entry today before I escape the cold and got ot Mexico for a week.
Friday's class reinforced the importance of footwork and having a strong foundation of the basics. As a white belt learning a weapon, I'm finding that the weapon itself is the easy part. I have spent all my time to date practicing basic moves with the nunchuks but now that I am putting them together in a form, the weakest link is my stances and footwork. It was a bit frustrating at first but after a talk with Sifu Csillag, I think I gained some perspective about it. My forms will always need tweaking, no matter how much I practice. There is always something to improve so getting caught up in all the little things is counter-productive to someone at my level.
Dragon dancing was a lot of fun, although I can see how it will be a lot of work to put a polished dance together.
Sifu Csillag is right, your forms will always need work, the more you work and see the changes the more you will want to do, have fun in Mexico
