Sword Form

I chose to do Sifu Beckett's sword form last minute before the I Ho Chaun year started.  I'm pretty uncoordinated to begin with and not all that familiar with using a sword.  I know not to touch the pointy end though so two thumbs up for me.  Needless to say it took me awhile to get the first couple moves.  After learning a few moves and from trying to remember my hand forms and doing a few kicks in the beginners class, my legs were really sore for 3 days.  I couldn't believe how sore I actually was after doing what I thought was so little.  Josh reminded me that I've spent the past couple years sitting at a desk job and then sitting in a classroom or doing homework so I've got some pretty weak legs right now.  It may take me awhile to learn and it may be painful at first but I think this will be good for me.  I'm sure I'll get myself back into some sort of shape soon.  I look forward to learning more.
