Well, I've come to terms that I'll probably be an orange belt for a long time. I haven't even done knife defence in almost a year and I forget a lot of it and I keep doing some sort of Long/Lao Gar hybrid and I still can't get the backwards shoulder roll in Sei Chen (no idea how to spell it)... So good thing I like orange.
I still haven't totally given up though. I'm doing things to help my Kung fu in my own way. I started Hatha Yoga to help with my strength and flexibility. I was pretty nervous to try it because it's something I didn't picture myself doing but I ended up really liking it. I'm going to try to keep doing 1-2 classes every week as well as making more of an effort to attend the advanced class so I'm at least doing as much of the stuff as I can. It's getting easier for me to not show up the longer I am away.
I was way better at doing my daily requirements when I was posting everyday, now that it's not easy for me to do wherever I am, it's easier for me to slack off because I don't feel the accountability. Posting my numbers was really working for me. I have to find another way. Plus, I liked posting for the people who couldn't make class so that they knew what we covered and weren't left out. Stupid Google+! I don't like change! :)
Okay, let's sit down and figure out Google + for you. If you have a browser on your phone you can post without an app. Secondly, this really identifies the need for good attendance. We have covered knife defence a lot in the past year but any of the classes I covered it for Sifu Lindstrom, you were not there.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely get to the advanced class and be vocal about your gaps. We can get them filled. Until you get your technology issues worked out, post your numbers on the original Google Group. I will leave it up until you are taken care of.
I definitely agree that my attendance is the issue. I just wish I could remember this stuff when I go to review it on my own.
DeleteI meant to ask about Google+ on Friday bit it slipped my mind. I've had a couple people tell me what to do but I'm not seeing the things they're talking about. I'll seek someone out next time I'm at the kwoon.
